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 
airman must have 100 hours pilot-in- 
command flight time in the Mitsubishi 
MU–2B series airplane and maintain

§ 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. 

(c) Satisfactory completion of a 

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 
least 1 hour of the flight training was 
conducted in the 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.

§ 91.1717

Operating requirements. 

(a) Except as provided in paragraph 

(b) of this section, no person may oper-
ate a Mitsubishi MU–2B airplane in sin-
gle pilot operations unless that air-
plane has a functional autopilot. 

(b) A person may operate a 

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

(1) Operating under day visual flight 

rule requirements; or 

(2) Authorized under a FAA approved 

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

(c) No person may operate a 

Mitsubishi MU–2B series airplane un-
less a copy of the appropriate 
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries MU–2B 
Airplane Flight Manual is carried on 
board the airplane and is accessible 
during each flight at the pilot station. 

(d) No person may operate a 

Mitsubishi MU–2B series airplane un-
less an MU–2B series airplane check-
list, appropriate for the model being 
operated and accepted by the Federal 
Aviation Administration MU–2B Flight 
Standardization Board, is accessible for 
each flight at the pilot station and is 
used by the flight crewmembers when 
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 
MU–2B Airplane Flight Manual’s proce-
dures sections (Normal, Abnormal, and 
Emergency) and the MU–2B airplane 
series checklist incorporated by ref-
erence in § 91.1721, the person operating 
the airplane must operate the airplane 
in accordance with the training speci-
fied in this subpart.
