The FAA is amending its regulations regarding separate requirements for check airmen who check only in flight simulators and flight instructors who instruct only in flight simulators. This document corrects minor technical errors in the codified text of those regulations.

On June 17, 1996, the FAA published a final rule entitled, “Training and Qualification Requirements for Check Airmen and Flight Instructors” (61 FR 30734).
In that final rule the FAA established separate requirements for check airmen who check only in flight simulators and flight instructors who instruct only in flight simulators. To ensure an equivalent level of safety, the affected check airmen and flight instructors must accomplish the following: Recency of experience requirements, including completion of an approved line-observation program within each 12-Start Printed Page 35104month period; and required training, including recurrent ground and flight training. Additionally this rule allowed check airman and flight instructors to obtain all of their flight training in simulators, as opposed to the then current scheme in which initial and transition flight training must include an in-flight element.
This technical amendment makes two revisions to the final rule: (1) The language in § 121.412(f)(2) incorrectly uses the term “check airman” when the term “flight instructor” should have been used; and (2) the language in § 135.338(f)(2) incorrectly uses the term “check airman” when the term “flight instructor” should have been used. Accordingly, this technical amendment revises §§ 121.412(f)(2) and 135.338(f)(2).
Start Amendment Part2. Amend § 121.412 by revising paragraph (f)(2) to read as follows:End Amendment Part
§ 121.412 Qualifications: Flight instructors (airplane) and flight instructors (simulator).
Start Amendment Part4. Amend § 135.338 by revising paragraph (f)(2) to read as follows:End Amendment Part
§ 135.338 Qualifications: Flight instructors (aircraft) and flight instructors (simulator).
Issued in Washington, DC, on June 10, 2011.
