14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–24 Edition) 

§ 91.1071 

§ 91.1071

Crewmember: Tests and 

checks, grace provisions, training 
to accepted standards. 

(a) If a crewmember who is required 

to take a test or a flight check under 
this subpart, completes the test or 
flight check in the month before or 
after the month in which it is required, 
that crewmember is considered to have 
completed the test or check in the 
month in which it is required. 

(b) If a pilot being checked under this 

subpart fails any of the required ma-
neuvers, the person giving the check 
may give additional training to the 
pilot during the course of the check. In 
addition to repeating the maneuvers 
failed, the person giving the check may 
require the pilot being checked to re-
peat any other maneuvers that are nec-
essary to determine the pilot’s pro-
ficiency. If the pilot being checked is 
unable to demonstrate satisfactory 
performance to the person conducting 
the check, the program manager may 
not use the pilot, nor may the pilot 
serve, as a flight crewmember in oper-
ations under this subpart until the 
pilot has satisfactorily completed the 
check. If a pilot who demonstrates un-
satisfactory performance is employed 
as a pilot for a certificate holder oper-
ating under part 121, 125, or 135 of this 
chapter, he or she must notify that cer-
tificate holder of the unsatisfactory 
performance. 

§ 91.1073

Training program: General. 

(a) Each program manager must have 

a training program and must: 

(1) Establish, obtain the appropriate 

initial and final approval of, and pro-
vide a training program that meets 
this subpart and that ensures that each 
crewmember, including each flight at-
tendant if the program manager uses a 
flight attendant crewmember, flight 
instructor, check pilot, and each per-
son assigned duties for the carriage and 
handling of hazardous materials (as de-
fined in 49 CFR 171.8) is adequately 
trained to perform these assigned du-
ties. 

(2) Provide adequate ground and 

flight training facilities and properly 
qualified ground instructors for the 
training required by this subpart. 

(3) Provide and keep current for each 

aircraft type used and, if applicable, 

the particular variations within the 
aircraft type, appropriate training ma-
terial, examinations, forms, instruc-
tions, and procedures for use in con-
ducting the training and checks re-
quired by this subpart. 

(4) Provide enough flight instructors, 

check pilots, and simulator instructors 
to conduct required flight training and 
flight checks, and simulator training 
courses allowed under this subpart. 

(b) Whenever a crewmember who is 

required to take recurrent training 
under this subpart completes the train-
ing in the month before, or the month 
after, the month in which that training 
is required, the crewmember is consid-
ered to have completed it in the month 
in which it was required. 

(c) Each instructor, supervisor, or 

check pilot who is responsible for a 
particular ground training subject, seg-
ment of flight training, course of train-
ing, flight check, or competence check 
under this subpart must certify as to 
the proficiency and knowledge of the 
crewmember, flight instructor, or 
check pilot concerned upon completion 
of that training or check. That certifi-
cation must be made a part of the 
crewmember’s record. When the certifi-
cation required by this paragraph is 
made by an entry in a computerized 
recordkeeping system, the certifying 
instructor, supervisor, or check pilot, 
must be identified with that entry. 
However, the signature of the certi-
fying instructor, supervisor, or check 
pilot is not required for computerized 
entries. 

(d) Training subjects that apply to 

more than one aircraft or crewmember 
position and that have been satisfac-
torily completed during previous train-
ing while employed by the program 
manager for another aircraft or an-
other crewmember position, need not 
be repeated during subsequent training 
other than recurrent training. 

(e) Aircraft simulators and other 

training devices may be used in the 
program manager’s training program if 
approved by the Administrator. 

(f) Each program manager is respon-

sible for establishing safe and efficient 
crew management practices for all 
phases of flight in program operations 
including crew resource management
