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

§ 91.1077
training for all crewmembers used in
program operations.
(g) If an aircraft simulator has been
approved by the Administrator for use
in the program manager’s training pro-
gram, the program manager must en-
sure that each pilot annually com-
pletes at least one flight training ses-
sion in an approved simulator for at
least one program aircraft. The train-
ing session may be the flight training
portion of any of the pilot training or
check requirements of this subpart, in-
cluding the initial, transition, upgrade,
requalification, differences, or recur-
rent training, or the accomplishment
of a competency check or instrument
proficiency check. If there is no ap-
proved simulator for that aircraft type
in operation, then all flight training
and checking must be accomplished in
the aircraft.
§ 91.1075
Training program: Special
rules.
Other than the program manager,
only the following are eligible under
this subpart to conduct training, test-
ing, and checking under contract or
other arrangement to those persons
subject to the requirements of this sub-
part.
(a) Another program manager oper-
ating under this subpart:
(b) A training center certificated
under part 142 of this chapter to con-
duct training, testing, and checking re-
quired by this subpart if the training
center—
(1) Holds applicable training speci-
fications issued under part 142 of this
chapter;
(2) Has facilities, training equipment,
and courseware meeting the applicable
requirements of part 142 of this chap-
ter;
(3) Has approved curriculums, cur-
riculum segments, and portions of cur-
riculum segments applicable for use in
training courses required by this sub-
part; and
(4) Has sufficient instructors and
check pilots qualified under the appli-
cable requirements of §§ 91.1089 through
91.1095 to conduct training, testing, and
checking to persons subject to the re-
quirements of this subpart.
(c) A part 119 certificate holder oper-
ating under part 121 or part 135 of this
chapter.
(d) As authorized by the Adminis-
trator, a training center that is not
certificated under part 142 of this chap-
ter.
§ 91.1077
Training program and revi-
sion: Initial and final approval.
(a) To obtain initial and final ap-
proval of a training program, or a revi-
sion to an approved training program,
each program manager must submit to
the Administrator—
(1) An outline of the proposed or re-
vised curriculum, that provides enough
information for a preliminary evalua-
tion of the proposed training program
or revision; and
(2) Additional relevant information
that may be requested by the Adminis-
trator.
(b) If the proposed training program
or revision complies with this subpart,
the Administrator grants initial ap-
proval in writing after which the pro-
gram manager may conduct the train-
ing under that program. The Adminis-
trator then evaluates the effectiveness
of the training program and advises the
program manager of deficiencies, if
any, that must be corrected.
(c) The Administrator grants final
approval of the proposed training pro-
gram or revision if the program man-
ager shows that the training conducted
under the initial approval in paragraph
(b) of this section ensures that each
person who successfully completes the
training is adequately trained to per-
form that person’s assigned duties.
(d) Whenever the Administrator finds
that revisions are necessary for the
continued adequacy of a training pro-
gram that has been granted final ap-
proval, the program manager must,
after notification by the Adminis-
trator, make any changes in the pro-
gram that are found necessary by the
Administrator. Within 30 days after the
program manager receives the notice,
it may file a petition to reconsider the
notice with the Administrator. The fil-
ing of a petition to reconsider stays the
notice pending a decision by the Ad-
ministrator. However, if the Adminis-
trator finds that there is an emergency
that requires immediate action in the
