How
Does The Program Work? |
The program has twenty phases. Minimum requirements, which include
specific subjects and flight maneuvers have been established. In addition,
pilots
must attend an FAA sponsored or sanctioned Aviation Safety Seminar, or
industry conducted recurrent training program, or physiological training
course, or mountain flying course
and
satisfactorily completed three (3) hours of flight training with an
appropriately rated flight instructor. The flight training profiles are
established for airplanes, rotorcraft, gliders, and lighter-than-air
aircraft, and ultralights.
The required
training profiles are defined in FAA Advisory Circular
AC 61-91H.
As a regular airman (not a CFI), you may earn each
phase award at 12 calendar month intervals.
The program was
designed to offer participating airmen and women with a twenty year
recurrent training opportunity. Training profiles represent areas of
operation identified by NTSB and DOT accident reports as the areas most
likely to produce accidents. Involvement in an aircraft or ultralight
accident will not disqualify you for participating in the award program. |

How Do I
Participate? |
You may begin training any time, and the hours of dual may be in any
order. It is not necessary to complete the ground training before flying. As
you complete each part of the training, be sure it is recorded in the Record
Of Recurrent Training (other side of this form). Also,
all
flight training must be recorded in your pilot logbook by the instructor
administering the flight training.
In addition,
once each phase is completed the recommending instructor should endorse your
logbook using the example provided in
AC 61-91H |
