unless that person meets the require-
ments of this paragraph—

(1) For the purpose of checking, des-

ignated pilot examiners, training cen-
ter evaluators, and check airmen must
have completed the appropriate train-
ing in the Mitsubishi MU–2B series air-
plane in accordance with § 91.1705;

(2) For checking conducted in the

Mitsubishi MU–2B series airplane, each
designated pilot examiner and check

§ 91.1715

Currency requirements and

flight review.

(a) The takeoff and landing currency

requirements of § 61.57 of this chapter
must be maintained in the Mitsubishi
MU–2B series airplane. Takeoff and
landings in other multiengine air-
planes do not meet the takeoff and
landing currency requirements for the
Mitsubishi MU–2B series plane. Takeoff
and landings in either the short-body
or long-body Mitsubishi MU–2B model
airplane may be credited toward take-
off and landing currency for both
Mitsubishi MU–2B model groups.

(b) Instrument experience obtained in

other category and class of aircraft
may be used to satisfy the instrument
currency requirements of § 61.57 of this
chapter for the Mitsubishi MU–2B se-
ries airplane.

flight review to satisfy the require-
ments of § 61.56 of this chapter is valid
for operation of a Mitsubishi MU–2B se-
ries airplane only if that flight review
is conducted in a Mitsubishi MU–2B se-
ries airplane or an MU–2B Simulator
approved for landings with an approved
course conducted under part 142 of this
chapter. The flight review for
Mitsubishi MU–2B series airplanes
must include the

Special Emphasis

Items, and all items listed in the Train-
ing Course Final Phase Check in accord-
ance with an approved MU–2B Training
Program.

(d) A person who successfully com-

pletes the Initial/transition, Requali-
fication, or Recurrent training require-
ments under § 91.1705 of this chapter
also meet the requirements of § 61.56 of
this chapter and need not accomplish a

separate flight review provided that at

conducted in the Mitsubishi MU–2B se-
ries airplane or an MU–2B Simulator

Mitsubishi MU–2B airplane in single
pilot operations without a functional
autopilot when—

(1) Operating under day visual flight

rule requirements; or

minimum equipment list for that air-
plane, operating under instrument
flight rule requirements in daytime
visual meteorological conditions.

Mitsubishi MU–2B series airplane un-

operating the airplane.

(e) No person may operate a

Mitsubishi MU–2B series airplane con-
trary to the standards of this subpart.

(f) If there are any differences be-

tween the training and operating re-
quirements of this subpart and the
