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

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.

(e) A person is required to complete

Recurrent training within the preceding
12 months. Successful completion of
Initial/transition or Requalification
training within the preceding 12
months satisfies the requirement of
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
§ 91.1707(c).

§ 91.1705

Required pilot training.

(a) Except as provided in § 91.1703(b),

no person may manipulate the con-
trols, act as pilot in command, or act
as second-in-command of a Mitsubishi
MU–2B series airplane for the purpose
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
MU–2B training program that meets
the standards of this subpart; and

(2) That person’s logbook has been

endorsed in accordance with paragraph
(f) of this section.

(b) Except as provided in § 91.1703(b),

no person may manipulate the con-
trols, act as pilot in command, or act
as second-in-command, of a Mitsubishi
MU–2B series airplane for the purpose
of flight unless—

(1) That person satisfactorily com-

pletes, if applicable, annual Recurrent
pilot training on the

calendar months may not be sub-
stituted for the Mitsubishi MU–2B se-
ries airplane annual recurrent flight
training of this section.

(d) Satisfactory completion of a Fed-

eral Aviation Administration spon-
sored pilot proficiency program, as de-
scribed in § 61.56(e) of this chapter may
not be substituted for the Mitsubishi
MU–2B series airplane annual recurrent
flight training of this section.

(e) If a person complies with the re-

quirements of paragraph (a) or (b) of
this section in the calendar month be-
fore or the calendar month after the
month in which compliance with these
paragraphs are required, that person is
considered to have accomplished the
training requirement in the month the
training is due.

(f) The endorsement required under

paragraph (a) and (b) of this section
must be made by—

(1) A certificated flight instructor or

a simulator instructor authorized by a
Training Center certificated under part

qualifications of § 91.1713; or

(2) For persons operating the

Mitsubishi MU–2B series airplane for a
14 CFR part 119 certificate holder with-

ments of § 91.1713.
