ing/anti-icing fluids, if used by the pro-
gram manager;

Manual or equivalent.
§ 91.1103
Pilots: Initial, transition, up-
grade, requalification, and dif-
ferences flight training.
(a) Initial, transition, upgrade, re-
qualification, and differences training
for pilots must include flight and prac-
tice in each of the maneuvers and pro-
cedures contained in each of the cur-
riculums that are a part of the ap-
proved training program.
(b) The maneuvers and procedures re-
quired by paragraph (a) of this section
must be performed in flight, except to
the extent that certain maneuvers and
procedures may be performed in an air-
craft simulator, or an appropriate
training device, as allowed by this sub-
part.
(c) If the program manager’s ap-
proved training program includes a
course of training using an aircraft
simulator or other training device,
each pilot must successfully com-
plete—
(1) Training and practice in the simu-
lator or training device in at least the

maneuvers and procedures in this sub-
part that are capable of being per-
formed in the aircraft simulator or
training device; and
(2) A flight check in the aircraft or a
check in the simulator or training de-
vice to the level of proficiency of a
pilot in command or second in com-
mand, as applicable, in at least the ma-
neuvers and procedures that are capa-
ble of being performed in an aircraft
simulator or training device.
§ 91.1105
Flight attendants: Initial and
transition ground training.
Initial and transition ground train-
ing for flight attendants must include
instruction in at least the following—
(a) General subjects—
(1) The authority of the pilot in com-
mand; and
(2) Passenger handling, including pro-
cedures to be followed in handling de-
ranged persons or other persons whose
conduct might jeopardize safety.
(b) For each aircraft type—
(1) A general description of the air-
craft emphasizing physical characteris-
tics that may have a bearing on ditch-
ing, evacuation, and inflight emer-
gency procedures and on other related
duties;
(2) The use of both the public address
system and the means of commu-
nicating with other flight crew-
members, including emergency means
in the case of attempted hijacking or
other unusual situations; and
