AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: This amendment makes

corrections to the final rule published

on April 4, 1997 (62 FR 16220). That

rule amended the certification, training,

and experience requirements for pilots,

flight instructors, and ground

instructors, and the certification

requirements for pilot schools approved

by the FAA. The corrections incorporate

provisions inadvertently omitted in the

final rule, clarify certain provisions, and

provide for the consistent use of

terminology.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective

August 4, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On April 4, 1997, the FAA published

a final rule titled ‘‘Pilot, Flight

Instructor, Ground Instructor, and Pilot

School Certification Rules; Final Rule’’

(62 FR 16220). Editorial and formatting

corrections clarify the rules and make

certain terminology consistent within

parts 61 and 141. This document also

incorporates certain provisions that

were inadvertently omitted in the final

rule. Those corrections that require

explanation are discussed below.

Discussion of Corrections

Part 61

Terminology. References to ‘‘approved

flight simulators’’ and ‘‘approved flight

training devices’’ have been changed to

‘‘flight simulators’’ and ‘‘flight training

devices,’’ respectively. As defined in

§61.1(b)(5) and (b)(7), a flight simulator

and a flight training device used to meet

certain aeronautical experience

requirements in part 61 must be

evaluated, qualified, and approved by

the Administrator. Therefore, use of the

word ‘‘approved’’ is not necessary when

referring to flight simulators and flight

training devices in part 61. This change

is consistent with the terminology used

in part 142 of Title 14, Code of Federal

Regulations (14 CFR). References to

‘‘instructor’’ have been changed to

‘‘authorized instructor’’ because only

authorized instructors as defined in

§61.1(b)(2) may provide training.

References to ‘‘required pilot,’’

‘‘required pilot crewmember,’’ and

‘‘required flight crewmember’’ have

been changed to ‘‘required pilot flight

crewmember’’ to provide for

consistency throughout part 61. In

addition, references to ‘‘currency

requirements’’ have been changed to

‘‘recent flight experience requirements’’

to accurately describe these

requirements.

Section 61.1 Applicability and

definitions. Paragraph (b)(3), which

defines cross-country time, has been

reorganized. In addition, the FAA

expanded the definition to clarify what

flight time may be logged as crosscountry time for the purposes of

meeting certain aeronautical experience

requirements for the certificates and

ratings issued under part 61. The FAA

also added provisions for the logging of

cross-country time for the purposes of

exercising recreational pilot privileges

under §61.101(c).

The FAA notes that after August 4,

1997, cross-country time for pilots

seeking an airline transport pilot (ATP)

certificate (except with a rotorcraft

rating) must involve a flight that is at

least a straight-line distance of more

than 50 nautical miles from the original

point of departure. If the pilot is seeking

an ATP certificate with a rotorcraft

rating, the cross-country flight must

include a landing that is at least a

straight-line distance of more than 25

nautical miles from the original point of

departure. Because pilots seeking an

ATP certificate did not previously have

to meet these distance requirements,

any cross-country time logged before

August 4, 1997, may be used to meet the

ATP aeronautical experience

requirements. However, after that date,

cross-country time logged for the

purposes of meeting the aeronautical

experience requirements for an ATP

certificate must comply with the

distance requirements.

Section 61.2 Certification of foreign

pilots, flight instructors, and ground

instructors. The FAA has corrected the

first sentence of paragraph (a) by adding

the phrase ‘‘other than under §61.75.’’

This language, which was included in

§61.2 before the adoption of the final

rule, is necessary to except from the

provisions of §61.2 the holders of

private pilot certificates issued on the

basis of a foreign pilot license under

§61.75.

Section 61.3 Requirement for

certificates, ratings, and authorizations.

Paragraph (c)(1) has been reorganized to

parallel the format of paragraph (a). In

addition, it may have appeared from the

language adopted in the final rule that

all individuals listed in paragraph (d)(3)

are permitted to provide the training

and endorsements described in

paragraphs (d)(2)(i) through (iv) without

holding a flight instructor certificate.

The FAA corrected paragraph (d)(3) to

clarify that the holder of a ground

instructor certificate may only provide

the training and endorsements in

paragraphs (d)(2)(i) and (d)(2)(iii), and

new paragraph (d)(2)(ii)(C), and a flight

instructor authorized under §61.41 is

only permitted to provide the

endorsement in paragraph (d)(2)(iii).

Similarly, the FAA expanded the

provisions of paragraph (i) to clarify

what ground training and endorsements

may be provided by individuals who do

not hold a ground instructor certificate.

The FAA notes that the preamble to

the final rule states that under

paragraph (d) the phrase ‘‘other

documentation acceptable to the

Administrator’’ would permit a flight

instructor to use a copy of a graduation

certificate from a CFI refresher course

and a copy of the completed application

for renewal to meet the requirements of

that paragraph. However, the FAA has

determined that the latter document is

not necessary. Therefore, a copy of a

graduation certificate from a CFI

refresher course, without the

application for renewal, is acceptable

documentation for the purpose of

meeting the requirements of paragraph

(d).

Section 61.11 Expired pilot

certificates and reissuance. Paragraph

(g) addresses the expiration of pilot

certificates issued on the basis of a

foreign license and, therefore, is more

appropriately included in paragraph (c),

which also addresses this issue. In

making this correction, the FAA

incorporated the language that was

contained in §61.11 before the adoption

of the final rule because that language

more clearly explains the circumstances

under which an expiration date will not

be included on a pilot certificate that is

issued on the basis of a foreign pilot

license. The FAA also corrected

paragraph (c) by adding at the end of the

first sentence the phrase ‘‘unless

otherwise specified on the U.S.

certificate’’ to address previously issued

special purpose pilot certificates that

contain an expiration date.
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 146 / Wednesday, July 30, 1997 / Rules and Regulations 40889

Section 61.13 Issuance of airman

certificates, ratings, and authorizations.

This section has been reformatted to

allow for the addition of paragraph

headings. In addition, new paragraph

(a)(2)(i) contains a reference to appendix

A to part 187. That appendix references

Advisory Circular No. 187–1, which

contains a schedule of charges for the

services of FAA aviation safety

inspectors outside the United States.

Section 61.31 Type rating

requirements, additional training, and

authorization requirements. Paragraph

(e) addresses exceptions to §61.31 and,

therefore, has been redesignated as

paragraph (k). Consequently, paragraphs

(e) through (j) have been redesignated.

The FAA added paragraph (k)(2)(v),

which provides that the rating

limitations of §61.31 do not apply to the

holder of a recreational pilot certificate

when operating under the provisions of

§61.101(h). This exception for

recreational pilots was included in

§61.31 before the adoption of the final

rule. In addition, new paragraph (g) is

corrected by including an endorsement

requirement for ground training

received on the operation of pressurized

aircraft at high altitudes. This

requirement was included in §61.31(f)

before the adoption of the final rule and

was inadvertently omitted. New

paragraphs (g) and (i) also have been

reformatted to more clearly set forth the

additional training requirements for

operating pressurized aircraft capable of

operating at high altitudes and for

operating tailwheel airplanes.

Section 61.45 Practical tests:

Required aircraft and equipment. The

FAA added the phrase ‘‘unless

otherwise authorized by the

Administrator’’ at the beginning of

paragraph (b). This language is

necessary because some aircraft are not

approved for all of the maneuvers

required to be performed during a

practical test. For example, an Airbus

300 is not approved for steep turns;

however, the Administrator has

determined that an applicant can

receive a rating in an Airbus 300

without performing that maneuver. A

similar provision was included in

§61.13(c) before the adoption of the

final rule but was inadvertently omitted

when the provisions of that paragraph

were incorporated into §61.45(b).

Section 61.51 Pilot logbooks. The

FAA corrected paragraph (b)(1)(ii) to

include ‘‘lesson time’’ as information to

be recorded in logbook entries. This

provision is necessary because

simulator time and flight time are not

synonymous. Training time acquired in

a simulator must be logged as ‘‘lesson

time’’ unless otherwise specified in part

61. For example, §61.109(i) permits

certain training time acquired in a flight

simulator or flight training device to be

credited toward the flight training time

requirements of that section.

The FAA notes that §61.51 no longer

contains a provision for the logging of

‘‘other pilot time.’’ Few or no comments

were received to the proposed deletion

of this provision in Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking (Notice) No. 95–11 (60 FR

41160, August 11, 1995). Therefore,

after August 4, 1997, only solo, pilot-incommand, second-in-command, or

training time may be logged in

accordance with §61.51 for the purpose

of meeting the aeronautical experience

requirements of part 61. For example,

after the effective date of the rule, a pilot

who is the sole manipulator of the

controls of an aircraft but who is not

rated in the aircraft or receiving training

will no longer be able to log ‘‘other pilot

time’’ for the purpose of meeting the

aeronautical training or experience

requirements of part 61.

In paragraph (d) the FAA clarified

that a student pilot logging solo flight

time in an airship requiring more than

one pilot fight crewmember is

‘‘performing the functions of’’ pilot in

command rather than ‘‘acting as’’ pilot

in command. A similar correction has

been made in paragraph (e). This

language is consistent with the language

used in other sections of part 61 to

describe the activities of an individual

who is receiving solo flight training in

an airship.

Paragraph (e)(4) has been corrected to

clarify when a student pilot may log

pilot-in-command flight time. In

addition, paragraph (e)(4)(iii) no longer

contains the phrase ‘‘is logging pilot-incommand flight time to obtain the pilotin-command flight experience

requirements for a pilot certificate or

aircraft rating.’’ Because paragraph (e)

permits a student pilot who is

undergoing training for a pilot

certificate or rating to log pilot-incommand flight time, this language is

not necessary. The FAA notes that pilotin-command flight time logged under

paragraph (e) may be used to meet the

pilot-in-command aeronautical

experience requirements for additional

certificates and ratings.

Paragraph (i)(3) has been reformatted

and a provision has been added to

provide that a recreational pilot also

must carry his or her logbook when

conducting operations under

§ 61.101(h). This correction is consistent

with the requirement in § 61.101(i).

Section 61.55 Second-in-command

qualifications. The FAA has deleted the

reference to flight training devices in

paragraph (b)(2). Amendment No. 61–

100, ‘‘Aircraft Flight Simulator Use in

Pilot Training, Testing, and Checking at

Training Centers’’ (61 FR 34508, July 2,

1996), did not provide for the use of

flight training devices to meet the recent

flight experience requirements for pilots

serving as second-in-command of an

aircraft type certificated for more than

one required pilot flight crewmember or

in operations requiring a second in

command. The reference to flight

training devices was inadvertently

included in the final rule. The FAA

notes the use of flight simulators is

permitted to meet the requirements of

paragraph (b)(2).

In paragraph (b)(2)(i) the requirement

for full-stop landings was inadvertently

omitted from the recent flight

experience requirements. This

requirement was included in

§ 61.55(b)(2)(i) before the adoption of

the final rule and the FAA did not

propose deleting it in Notice No. 95–10.

Therefore, the requirement for full-stop

landings has been reinstated in the final

rule.

Section 61.57 Recent flight

experience: Pilot in command. As

adopted in the final rule, the recent

flight experience requirements of

paragraph (a)(1) could be interpreted as

precluding a pilot who does not meet

those requirements from acting as

second in command of an aircraft

requiring more than one pilot flight

crewmember. However, this was not the

FAA’s intention; therefore, the language

in this paragraph has been corrected to

provide that a person not meeting the

requirements of § 61.57(a)(1) may not

act as ‘‘a pilot in command of an aircraft

carrying passengers or of an aircraft

certificated for more than one pilot

flight crewmember.’’

The FAA reorganized paragraph (b) to

parallel the format of paragraph (a). In

addition, the FAA added paragraph

(b)(1) to require that a pilot must be the

sole manipulator of the flight controls to

meet the night takeoff and landing

experience requirements. Paragraph

(b)(2) has been added to require that the

takeoff and landings are performed in

the appropriate category, class, and

type, if applicable, of aircraft. These

requirements were included in § 61.57

before the adoption of the final rule and

were proposed in Notice No. 95–10. The

FAA did not intend to omit these

requirements from the final rule.

The FAA notes that accomplishment

of the night takeoff and landing

requirements in paragraph (b) may be

used to satisfy the requirements of

paragraph (a). However, the

accomplishment of the day takeoff and

landings required in paragraph (a) may
40890 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 146 / Wednesday, July 30, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

not be used to satisfy the requirements

of paragraph (b).

Section 61.58 Pilot-in-command

proficiency check: Operation of aircraft

requiring more than one pilot flight

crewmember. The FAA inadvertently

omitted from paragraph (b) the

exception for persons maintaining

continuing qualification under an

Advanced Qualification Program

approved under Special Federal

Aviation Regulation 58. In addition, the

FAA added language to clarify that the

pilot-in-command proficiency checks

and tests specified in paragraphs (d)(1)

through (d)(3) must be completed in an

aircraft type certificated for more than

one required pilot flight crewmember.

Because § 61.58 only applies to pilot-incommand proficiency checks for

operating aircraft type certificated for

more than one required pilot flight

crewmember, this correction was

necessary to ensure that the checks or

tests were performed in an aircraft

appropriate to the operations the pilot

will be authorized to conduct.

Paragraph (e) has been expanded to

include a provision for the use of an

otherwise qualified and approved flight

simulator that is not qualified and

approved for a specific maneuver

required during the pilot-in-command

proficiency check. This provision was

adopted in Amendment No. 61–100 but

inadvertently omitted in the final rule.

Section 61.63 Additional aircraft

ratings (other than on an airline

transport pilot certificate). The FAA

reinstated a provision in paragraph

(c)(4) to provide that a person who

holds a lighter-than-air category rating

with a balloon class rating and seeks an

airship class rating must meet the

training time requirements prescribed

for an airship class rating. This

requirement was included in § 61.63

before the adoption of the final rule and

was inadvertently omitted.

As adopted in the final rule, an

applicant for an additional type rating

would be required to perform the

practical test under ‘‘instrument flight

rules.’’ It was not the FAA’s intention to

require an applicant to file an

instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan.

Section 61.63 did not contain such a

requirement before the adoption of the

final rule. The FAA has corrected

paragraph (d)(5) to require that the

practical test for an additional type

rating must be performed in actual or

simulated instrument conditions.

Former paragraph (i) has been deleted

because it duplicated the provisions of

paragraph (h). Paragraphs (j) through (l)

have been redesignated as paragraphs (i)

through (k). In addition, the section

heading has been revised to more

accurately reflect the content of the

section.

Section 61.65 Instrument rating

requirements. The FAA corrected

paragraph (a)(1) to provide that a person

applying for an instrument rating must

only hold a private pilot certificate with

an airplane, helicopter, or powered-lift

rating as appropriate to the instrument

rating sought. The previous language

was more general and may have caused

confusion because only airplane,

helicopter, and powered-lift instrument

ratings are issued on pilot certificates.

For the same reason, equivalent changes

have been made to paragraphs (a)(5) and

(a)(8)(i).

The FAA also corrected paragraph

(a)(8)(ii) to clarify that if a flight training

device is used for the practical test, the

instrument approach procedures are

limited to one precision and one

nonprecision approach. The words

‘‘instrument approach’’ were

inadvertently omitted in the final rule.

It was not the FAA’s intent to limit all

procedures accomplished in a flight

training device to one precision and one

nonprecision approach.

Section 61.69 Glider towing:

Experience and training requirements.

To meet the recent experience

requirement for towing gliders, a pilot is

required to meet the requirements of

paragraph (a)(6)(i) or paragraph (a)(6)(ii).

Paragraph (a)(6)(i) requires a pilot to

perform three actual glider tows while

accompanied by a qualified pilot.

Paragraph (a)(6)(ii) requires a pilot to

make at least three flights as pilot in

command of a glider towed by an

aircraft. In paragraph (a)(6)(i), the FAA

inadvertently omitted the provision

allowing pilots to meet the recent

experience requirement by performing

at least three simulated glider tows

while accompanied by a qualified pilot.

This provision was included in § 61.69

before adoption of the final rule and is

necessary because not all glider clubs

have two-place glider tow airplanes. In

addition, a pilot who does not have a

glider rating would not be able to meet

the alternative recent experience

requirement under paragraph (a)(6)(ii).

Section 61.73 Military pilots or

former military pilots: Special rules. As

adopted in the final rule, the language

in paragraph (c)(2) inadvertently

required an applicant to present

documentation that he or she was on

active military status during the 12

months preceding application for a pilot

certificate or rating based on the

applicant’s military training. However,

paragraph (c) specifically addresses the

requirements for military pilots who

were not on active military status during

that time period. Paragraph (c)(2) has

been corrected by incorporating

language contained in § 61.73 before the

adoption of the final rule.

Section 61.77 Special purpose pilot

authorization: Operation of U.S.-

registered civil aircraft leased by a

person who is not a U.S. citizen. The

FAA corrected paragraph (b) to clarify

that an applicant must present to a

Flight Standards District Office all

documentation required to establish his

or her eligibility for a special purpose

pilot authorization.

Paragraph (d), which describes the

circumstances under which a special

purpose pilot authorization is valid, has

been corrected to include several

provisions that were contained in

§ 61.77 before adoption of the final rule

and that were inadvertently omitted in

the rulemaking process. Under new

paragraph (d)(2) the holder of a special

purpose pilot authorization must have

the medical documentation required by

paragraph (b) in his or her physical

possession or immediately accessible in

the aircraft while exercising the

privileges of the authorization. In

addition, new paragraphs (d)(3) and

(d)(4) provide that a special purpose

pilot authorization remains valid only

while the holder of the authorization is

employed by the person who provides

the certification required by paragraph

(b) and while the holder operates the

aircraft described in that certification.

Paragraph (i) has been established to

address the renewal requirements

previously included in paragraph (d),

‘‘General limitations.’’ In addition, the

FAA has added paragraph (j) to address

the surrender of a special purpose pilot

authorization. This provision was

contained in § 61.77 before the adoption

of the final rule.

Section 61.87 Solo requirements for

student pilots. The FAA determined that

it is necessary to add the phrase ‘‘if

applicable’’ at the conclusion of

paragraphs (i) (4), (10), and (11).

The maneuvers described in

paragraphs (i) (4) and (10) are required

only if a student pilot is receiving

training in a powered glider. The

maneuver described in paragraph (i)(11)

is required only if training is received in

a nonpowered glider. In addition,

paragraph (m)(3) has been deleted

because it duplicated the endorsement

requirement contained in paragraph

(m)(4).

Section 61.93 Solo cross-country

flight requirements. This section

addresses the solo cross-country flight

requirements for student pilots.

Therefore, the FAA has removed

paragraph (c)(2)(ii) because that

paragraph addressed cross-country

endorsement requirements for
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 146 / Wednesday, July 30, 1997 / Rules and Regulations 40891

certificated pilots receiving training for

an additional aircraft category and class

rating. The endorsement requirements

for pilots seeking additional aircraft

ratings are contained in § 61.63.

Section 61.96 Applicability and

eligibility requirements: General. The

FAA has corrected paragraph (b)(6) to

provide that an applicant for a

recreational pilot certificate must meet

the aeronautical experience

requirements of § 61.99 before applying

for the practical test. This requirement

is consistent with the eligibility

requirements for other certificates

issued under part 61.

Section 61.109 Aeronautical

experience. The introductory paragraph

of this section, as adopted in the final

rule, sets forth the total aeronautical

experience requirements for persons

seeking a private pilot certificate with

an airplane, rotorcraft, or powered-lift

category rating. However, this section

also addresses the requirements for

obtaining a private pilot certificate with

a glider, airship, or balloon rating.

Consequently, the FAA added

introductory language to each of the

paragraphs describing the total

aeronautical requirements for the

particular ratings. The FAA has not

included any additional requirements

for obtaining these ratings.

The FAA notes that the instrument

training required by paragraphs (a)(3),

(b)(3), and (e)(3) need not be provided

by an authorized instructor who holds

an instrument rating on his or her flight

instructor’s certificate. Instrument

training for a private pilot certificate

only requires training on basic

instrument maneuvers such as straight

and level flight, constant airspeed

climbs and descents, turns to a heading,

and recovery from unusual flight

attitudes; therefore, the FAA does not

require that such training be provided

by an instructor who holds a flight

instructor certificate with an instrument

rating. The rule language of paragraphs

(a)(3), (b)(3), and (e)(3) has been

corrected to reflect this policy.

Section 61.110 Night flying

exceptions. The FAA corrected

paragraph (b)(2) to provide that a private

pilot certificate issued with the

limitation ‘‘Night flying prohibited’’ will

become invalid for use if the pilot does

not comply with the night flight training

requirements within 12 calendar

months after issuance of the certificate.

It may have appeared from the language

adopted in the final rule that the FAA

would pursue an enforcement action to

suspend the pilot certificate if the night

flight training requirements were not

met within the 12-month period. This is

not the case; however, the pilot

certificate will be invalid for use after

that period until the pilot meets the

night flight training requirements.

Section 61.129 Aeronautical

experience. The FAA removed the

references to the hours that may be

credited for training received in a flight

simulator or flight training device from

paragraphs (a), (b), (c), and (e), which

describe the total aeronautical

experience requirements for obtaining a

commercial pilot certificate with an

airplane, helicopter, or powered-lift

rating. It is no longer necessary to

include this language because paragraph

(i), which addresses the crediting of

training received in a flight simulator or

flight training device, was included in

this section with the adoption of

Amendment No. 61–100. In addition,

the FAA corrected paragraphs (a)(2)(ii),

(b)(2)(ii), and (e)(2)(ii) to provide that

only 10 of the 50 hours of required

cross-country flight for an airplane or

powered-lift rating must be

accomplished in the category of aircraft

for which the applicant is seeking a

rating.

Paragraphs (a)(3)(ii) and (b)(3)(ii)

require that a person seeking a

commercial pilot certificate with a

single-engine or multiengine rating

receive training in a complex aircraft.

As adopted in the final rule, § 61.129

did not address those requirements as

they apply to seaplanes. Therefore, the

FAA added language to paragraphs

(a)(3)(ii) and (b)(3)(ii) to provide that an

applicant for a commercial pilot

certificate with a seaplane rating must

obtain 10 hours of training in a seaplane

that has flaps and a controllable pitch

propeller.

The requirement for cross-country

training in night visual flight rules

(VFR) conditions for applicants seeking

a commercial pilot certificate with a

powered-lift rating was inadvertently

omitted from paragraph (e)(3)(iii). This

requirement was proposed in Notice No.

95–10 and is consistent with the crosscountry flight training requirements for

persons seeking a commercial pilot

certificate with an airplane, rotorcraft,

or airship rating.

As adopted in the final rule,

paragraph (i)(3) provided for a reduction

in the total aeronautical experience

requirements if an applicant for a

commercial pilot certificate with an

airplane, helicopter, or powered-lift

rating satisfactorily completes an

approved commercial pilot course

conducted by a training center

certificated under part 142. However,

the hours specified in paragraph

(i)(3)(ii) did not result in a reduction in

the total aeronautical experience

requirements for applicants seeking a

commercial pilot certificate with a

helicopter rating. Therefore, the FAA

removed the reference to the helicopter

rating in paragraph (i)(3).

Section 61.131 Exceptions to the

night flying requirements. The FAA

corrected paragraph (b)(2) to provide

that a commercial pilot certificate

issued with the limitation ‘‘Night flying

prohibited’’ will become invalid for use

if the pilot does not comply with the

night flight training requirements within

12 calendar months after issuance of the

certificate. This correction is consistent

with the change to § 61.110(b)(2).

Section 61.133 Commercial pilot

privileges and limitations. A provision

permitting a commercial pilot with a

lighter-than-air category rating to

provide training and endorsements for a

flight review, operating privilege, or

recency of experience requirements was

inadvertently omitted from paragraphs

(a)(2)(i) and (a)(2)(ii). The FAA added

paragraphs (a)(2)(i)(E) and (a)(2)(ii)(D) to

provide for these privileges.

Section 61.153 Eligibility

requirements: General. The FAA

inadvertently included the phrase ‘‘if

the person holds a pilot license’’ in the

eligibility requirements for pilots

applying for an ATP certificate, and

who hold a foreign ATP license or a

foreign commercial pilot license and an

instrument rating. This language was a

superfluous addition and has been

deleted. In addition, the requirement

that the applicant hold the foreign pilot

license and instrument rating without

limitations was inadvertently omitted

from the final rule. This language was

included in § 61.155 before the adoption

of the final rule and has been reinstated.

Section 61.157 Flight proficiency. As

adopted in the final rule, an applicant

for a type rating would be required to

perform the practical test under

‘‘instrument flight rules.’’ It was not the

FAA’s intention to require an applicant

to file an IFR flight plan; therefore, the

FAA has corrected paragraph (b)(3) to

require that the practical test for an

additional type rating be performed in

actual or simulated instrument

conditions.

In Amendment No. 61–101, ‘‘Aircraft

Flight Simulator Use in Pilot Training,

Testing, and Checking at Training

Centers; Editorial and Other Changes’’

(62 FR 13788, March 21, 1997), the FAA

revised § 61.157, in part, to provide that

a check conducted under 14 CFR

§ 121.441 and used to satisfy the

requirements of § 61.157 must be a

pilot-in-command proficiency check.

This requirement was inadvertently

omitted from § 61.157 when the final

rule was adopted. This requirement has

been incorporated into paragraph (f)(1).
40892 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 146 / Wednesday, July 30, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

Section 61.165 Additional aircraft

category and class ratings. The FAA

corrected paragraphs (b) and (c) by

removing the references to class ratings.

This correction is necessary because a

knowledge test is not required when a

person who holds an ATP certificate

seeks an additional class rating within

the same aircraft category. The FAA has

added paragraph (e) to address this

situation.

Section 61.183 Eligibility

requirements. The FAA has clarified the

eligibility requirement contained in

paragraph (c)(2) for persons seeking a

flight instructor certificate. Under new

paragraph (c)(2), an applicant is

required to hold either a commercial

pilot certificate with an instrument

rating or an ATP certificate with

instrument privileges on that applicant’s

pilot certificate that is appropriate to the

flight instructor rating sought. The word

‘‘privileges’’ refers to the instrument

privileges held by airline transport

pilots.

The reference in paragraph (e) to

§ 61.185(a) has been corrected to read

§ 61.185(a)(1). This correction was

necessary because not all applicants for

a flight instructor certificate or rating are

required to pass a knowledge test on the

fundamentals of instruction as specified

in § 61.185(a)(1). However, the FAA

notes that all applicants are required to

pass a knowledge test on the

appropriate aeronautical knowledge

areas in § 61.185(a) (2) and (3).

Section 61.185 Aeronautical

knowledge. For the same reasons stated

in the preamble to the corrections of

§ 61.183, the reference to § 61.185(a) in

paragraph (b) has been corrected to read

§ 61.185(a)(1).

Section 61.193 Flight instructor

privileges. The FAA has removed from

the introductory paragraph to this

section the phrase ‘‘and that person’s

pilot certificate and rating.’’ It may have

appeared from this language that a flight

instructor could instruct based only on

that instructor’s pilot certificate and

ratings; however, a flight instructor is

authorized to instruct only within the

limitations on that person’s flight

instructor’s certificate. The FAA notes

that under § 61.195, a flight instructor

may not conduct flight training in any

aircraft for which the flight instructor

does not hold a valid pilot certificate

and flight instructor certificate, with the

appropriate ratings. In addition, a flight

instructor who provides flight training

for the issuance of an instrument rating

or type rating not limited to conducting

operations under VFR must hold an

instrument rating on his or her pilot

certificate and flight instructor

certificate that is appropriate to the

category and class of aircraft in which

instrument training is provided.

Section 61.217 Recent experience

requirements. It was not the FAA’s

intention to require a ground instructor

to meet the recent experience

requirements by demonstrating

proficiency to an FAA inspector or a

designated pilot examiner. Therefore,

paragraph (b) has been corrected to

provide that the holder of a ground

instructor certificate may not perform

the duties of a ground instructor unless

within the preceding 12 months that

person has received an endorsement

from an authorized ground or flight

instructor who certifies that the person

has demonstrated proficiency in the

subject areas prescribed in §61.213(a)(3)

and (a)(4).

Part 141

Terminology. References to

‘‘instructor’’ have been changed to

‘‘authorized instructor’’ because only

authorized instructors as defined in

§61.1(b)(2) may provide training.

Section 141.31 Applicability.

Paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) have been

clarified by specifying that a pilot

school or provisional pilot school must,

at the time of application, have

ownership of, or a written lease

agreement for, a facility or airport for at

least the 6 calendar months beyond the

date that the application for initial

certification and renewal was made.

Section 141.35 Chief instructor

qualifications. Paragraph (a)(1) has been

corrected by specifying that a chief

instructor must hold an instrument

rating only if such a rating is applicable

to the course of training for the

particular category and class of aircraft

in which he or she will instruct. The

language in the amendment

inadvertently resulted in a requirement

that a chief pilot for a commercial pilothelicopter course must hold an

instrument rating. In addition,

paragraph (a)(6) has been corrected to

include airships among the class of

aircraft for which a chief instructor is

required to have only 40 percent of the

hours specified in paragraphs (b) and (d)

of the section; those paragraphs include

requirements for instrument instruction.

The requirement in paragraph (a)(6) has

been changed because the FAA

proposed an instrument rating for

airships in Notice No. 95–11, but

inadvertently neglected to omit that

proposal in the final rule. Paragraphs (a)

(6) and (7) also have been combined to

remove a reference to paragraph (c) that

addresses instrument ratings, which no

longer apply to airships.

Section 141.36 Assistant chief

instructor qualifications. Paragraph (a)

has been corrected by specifying that an

assistant chief instructor must hold an

instrument rating only if such a rating

is applicable to the course of training for

the particular category and class of

aircraft in which he or she will instruct.

This change was necessary for the same

reasons that the requirements of

§141.35(a) were changed for chief

instructors.

Section 141.53 Approval procedures

for a training course: General. Paragraph

(c)(1) has been clarified by specifying

that the retention of a course’s approval

until 1 year after August 4, 1997, when

that training course is submitted for

approval before August 4, 1997, is

permitted, but not mandated, by the

rule, which was never the FAA’s intent.

Section 141.63 Examining authority

qualification requirements. Paragraph

(a)(5) has been corrected by replacing

the word ‘‘after’’ with the word ‘‘before’’

because the paragraph lists the

requirements that a school must meet

before it can apply for examining

authority.

Section 141.75 Aircraft

requirements. This section has been

changed by deleting paragraphs (b) and

(c) because they contained provisions in

§141.39(b), to the extent that, at the time

of application, the Administrator may

permit a flight school’s aircraft to hold

airworthiness certificates that are other

than standard or primary, if the

Administrator determines that such

types of aircraft may be used. This

would include such specialized roles as

agricultural, external-load, test-pilot,

and special operations.

Section 141.77 Limitations. This

section has been clarified by specifying

the requirement for the manner in

which a school may give credit for

another school’s certification.

Specifically, this credit relates to the

kind and amount of training the

previous school provided to a student

who has since transferred.

Section 141.93 Enrollment.

Paragraph (a)(3)(v) has been clarified by

changing the term ‘‘write-offs’’ to

‘‘approval for return-to-service

determinations,’’ even though the

former term was used before adoption of

the final rule. The FAA is making this

change because the term was never

adequately explained, and it is not part

of common aviation terminology.

Appendix B to Part 141—Private Pilot

Certification Course. Section No. 4,

paragraphs (c)(2), (3), and (4) have been

corrected to permit the additional use of

training time in flight simulators and

flight training devices in approved

courses. This change reflects the

changes set forth in the final rule, which

incorporated a new definition for ‘‘flight
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 146 / Wednesday, July 30, 1997 / Rules and Regulations 40893

simulators’’ and introduced a new

definition for ‘‘flight training devices,’’

with other training equipment falling

under the definition of ‘‘training aids

and equipment.’’ As a result of these

changes, the number of hours that could

be credited for flight training devices

based on the older definition of ‘‘ground

trainers’’ no longer corresponded to the

total number of hours that could be

credited for training specified in part

141 before the amendment. Because this

reduction was unintentional, the FAA is

adjusting the amount of training

permitted in flight training devices to

avoid any reduction in the amount of

training time that may be credited. To

preserve the ratio of training time that

may be credited in a part 141 course

between flight training devices and

flight simulators, the amount of training

time that may be credited in a flight

simulator also has been adjusted.

Appendix C to Part 141—Instrument

Rating Course. Section No. 4, paragraph

(b)(3) has been modified for the same

reasons as appendix B, section No. 4,

paragraphs (c)(2), (3), and (4).

Appendix D to Part 141—Commercial

Pilot Certification Course. Section No. 3,

paragraph (a) has been changed to

reduce the hours of training required for

the commercial pilot certification course

for an airplane or powered-lift category

rating, because candidates for the course

are already required to hold an

instrument rating before enrolling in the

course. At the same time, a new section

No. (a)(2) was created with increased

hour requirements to provide for a

lighter-than-air category with an airship

class rating. This increase was

inadvertently omitted from the final

rule, and is a result of the FAA’s

decision to withdraw the proposed

instrument rating for the airship class.

As a result, a commercial pilot

certification course would require

increased hours for airship class

candidates. This would provide a

comparable level of training and

experience among pilots regardless of

the rating obtained. Section No. 4,

paragraph (a) has been changed for the

same reasons. Paragraphs (c)(2), (3), and

(4) have been modified for the same

reasons as appendix B, section No. 4,

paragraphs (c)(2), (3), and (4).

Appendix F to Part 141—Flight

Instructor Certification Course. Section

4, paragraph (c)(6)(vii) has been clarified

to include tows as well as launches, and

to specify go-arounds ‘‘if applicable’’

because only certain gliders are

motorized.

Appendix I to Part 141—Additional

Aircraft Category or Class Rating

Course. Section No. 3 has been

corrected to clarify that an approved

course for an additional aircraft category

rating or additional class rating must

include only the ground training time

requirements and ground training on the

aeronautical knowledge areas that are

specific to that aircraft category and

class rating and pilot certificate level for

which the course applies as provided in

appendixes A, B, D, or E of this part. It

was not the FAA’s intent to require that

the course for an additional rating

include the total ground training time

requirements for the pilot certificate.

Section No. 4, paragraph (a) has been

corrected for reasons similar to those

discussed in the preamble of the

corrections to Section No. 3. In addition,

paragraphs (b)(2), (3), and (4) have been

modified for the same reasons as

appendix B, section No. 4, paragraphs

(c)(2), (3), and (4).

ratings, and authorizations.

(a) Application. (1) An applicant for

an airman certificate, rating, or

authorization under this part must make

that application on a form and in a

manner acceptable to the Administrator.

(2) An applicant who is neither a

citizen of the United States nor a

resident alien of the United States—

(i) Must show evidence that the

appropriate fee prescribed in appendix

A to part 187 of this chapter has been

paid when that person applies for a—

for the certificate, rating, or

authorization sought is entitled to

receive that airman certificate, rating, or

authorization.

(b) Limitations. (1) An applicant who

cannot comply with certain areas of

operation required on the practical test

because of physical limitations may be

issued an airman certificate, rating, or

authorization with the appropriate

limitation placed on the applicant’s

airman certificate provided the—

(i) Applicant is able to meet all other

certification requirements for the airman

certificate, rating, or authorization

sought; (ii) Physical limitation has been

recorded with the FAA on the

applicant’s medical records; and

(iii) Administrator determines that the

applicant’s inability to perform the

particular area of operation will not

adversely affect safety.

(2) A limitation placed on a person’s

airman certificate may be removed,

provided that person demonstrates for

an examiner satisfactory proficiency in

the area of operation appropriate to the

airman certificate, rating, or

authorization sought.

(c) Additional requirements for

authorization contains the following

limitations:

(i) For Category II operations, the

limitation is 1,600 feet RVR and a 150-

foot decision height; and

(ii) For Category III operations, each

initial limitation is specified in the

authorization document.

(3) The limitations on a Category II or

Category III pilot authorization may be

removed as follows:

(i) In the case of Category II

limitations, a limitation is removed

when the holder shows that, since the

beginning of the sixth preceding month,

the holder has made three Category II

ILS approaches with a 150-foot decision

height to a landing under actual or

simulated instrument conditions.

(ii) In the case of Category III

limitations, a limitation is removed as

specified in the authorization.

(4) To meet the experience

requirements of paragraph (c)(3) of this

section, and for the practical test

required by this part for a Category II or

a Category III pilot authorization, a

flight simulator or flight training device

may be used if it is approved by the

Administrator for such use.

(d) Application during suspension or

revocation. (1) Unless otherwise

authorized by the Administrator, a

person whose pilot, flight instructor, or

ground instructor certificate has been

suspended may not apply for any

certificate, rating, or authorization

during the period of suspension.

(2) Unless otherwise authorized by

the Administrator, a person whose pilot,

flight instructor, or ground instructor

certificate has been revoked may not

apply for any certificate, rating, or

authorization for 1 year after the date of

revocation.
