command, or other persons who manip-
ulate the controls while under the su-
pervision of a pilot in command.

persons who provide pilot training for a
Mitsubishi MU–2B series airplane. The
requirements in this subpart are in ad-
dition to the requirements of parts 61,
91, and 135 of this chapter.

§ 91.1703

Compliance and eligibility.

(a) Except as provided in paragraph

(b) of this section, no person may ma-
nipulate the controls, act as PIC, act
as second-in-command, or provide pilot
training for a Mitsubishi MU–2B series
airplane unless that person meets the
requirements of this subpart.

(b) A person who does not meet the

requirements of this subpart may ma-
nipulate the controls of a Mitsubishi
MU–2B series airplane if a pilot in com-
mand who meets the requirements of
this subpart is occupying a pilot sta-
tion, no passengers or cargo are carried
on board the airplane, and the flight is
being conducted for one of the fol-
lowing reasons—

(1) The pilot in command is providing

pilot training to the manipulator of
the controls;

(2) The pilot in command is con-

ducting a maintenance test flight with
a second pilot or certificated mechanic;
or

(3) The pilot in command is con-

ducting simulated instrument flight
and is using a safety pilot other than
the pilot in command who manipulates
the controls for the purposes of
§ 91.109(b).

Initial/transition training if that person
has fewer than—

(1) 50 hours of documented flight

time manipulating the controls while
serving as pilot in command of a
Mitsubishi MU–2B series airplane in
the preceding 24 months; or

(2) 500 hours of documented flight

time manipulating the controls while
serving as pilot in command of a
Mitsubishi MU–2B series airplane.

(d) A person is eligible to receive

Re-

qualification training in lieu of Initial/
transition training if that person has
at least—

(1) 50 hours of documented flight

time manipulating the controls while

Mitsubishi MU–2B series airplane in
the preceding 24 months; or

(2) 500 hours of documented flight

time manipulating the controls while
serving as pilot in command of a
Mitsubishi MU–2B series airplane.

(e) A person is required to complete

Recurrent training within the preceding

Recurrent training. A person must suc-
cessfully complete Initial/transition
training or Requalification training be-
fore being eligible to receive Recurrent
training.

(f) Successful completion of Initial/

transition training or Requalification
training is a one-time requirement. A
person may elect to retake Initial/tran-
sition training or Requalification
training in lieu of Recurrent training.

(g) A person is required to complete

Differences training in accordance with
an FAA approved MU–2B training pro-
gram if that person operates more than
one MU–2B model as specified in

of flight unless—

(1) The requirements for ground and

flight training on Initial/transition,
Requalification, Recurrent, and Dif-
ferences training have been completed
in accordance with an FAA approved
