CURRICULUM SEGMENT: QUALIFICATION
OBJECTIVE: To determine that a student has satisfactorily completed all required curriculum segments and to
determine whether sufficient learning has occurred by the comparison of the student's performance, in practical
situations, to established standards.
Each person required to train under a curriculum, must complete the curriculum in its entirety.
All written examinations must be completed with a score of 80%. Subject areas found deficient will be reviewed and
the student knowledge corrected to 100%. The instructor will document such review.
Satisfactory completion of flight training required events will be in accordance with the standards set forth in the
Practical Test Standards FAA-S-8081-5B (ATP), FAA-S-8081-12A (COMM), and FAA-S-8081-4B (INST) as
appropriate for the pilot certificate and rating required for the duty position assigned and/or to the standards set by
the Maneuvers and Procedures manual, whichever requires the greater degree of pilot skill.
A student who fails to meet qualification objectives must continue training until those objectives are met, unless
he/she is removed from training status.
A pilot will become fully qualified to serve in a specific duty position in a specific aircraft upon satisfactory completion
of the qualification segment requirements as follows:
1. PIC Competency Check
2. PIC Instrument Proficiency Check
3. PIC Line Check
4. PIC Commuter IOE

* PIC LINE CHECK (FAR 135.299) (AIRPLANE)
1. The line check must be conducted over at least one route segment which includes takeoffs and landings at
one or more airports that are representative of the operator's type of operation. A route segment for the
purpose of a line check consists of a departure from one terminal area and the flight to, and arrival at, a
different terminal area.
2. The pilot must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the inspector or check airman, takeoffs and landings at one
or more representative airports.
3. For a pilot authorized to conduct IFR Operations:
a. Complete 1 and 2 above.
b. At least one flight shall be flown over a civil airway, an approved off-airway route or a portion of either
under IFR with an instrument approach procedure.
4. The line check should be conducted during revenue flights. In the case of commuter operators the line check
should be conducted near the completion of IOE time (FAR 135.244), and may be credited towards the total
IOE time. If it is not practical to conduct the line check during revenue flights the check airman or inspector
may authorize that the line check be conducted during the same flight period that the competency check is
conducted. If the line check is conducted in this manner, the line portion of this flight must include the
requirements of paragraphs 1 through 3 of this section and will not count for IOE time for commuter
operations.
5. The pilot must be determined to have satisfactorily performed the duties and responsibilities of a PIC in
operations under FAR Part 135. This certification shall be entered in the pilot's training record.
Note: This check must be accomplished each 12-calendar months in one of the make and model aircraft the pilot is
assigned to fly.
*NOTE: See Section G, Page 12, for combined IOE/Line Check Form.

QUALIFICATION SEGMENT - BASIC CHECKING MODULE
INITIAL OPERATING EXPERIENCE (FAR135.244) AIRPLANE
1. Each pilot who will be assigned to serve as PIC in a commuter passenger carrying operation, must acquire
the minimum Initial operating experience for each make and basic model of aircraft in which the pilot is to
serve as PIC.

a. Single engine airplanes
10 hours
b. Multiengine, reciprocating powered airplanes
15 hours
c. Multiengine, turbine-powered airplanes
20 hours
d. Turbo-jet powered airplanes

2. IOE time shall be conducted during revenue flights. The pilot must have completed the required
competency and proficiency checks of FAR 135.293 and 135.297 as required, in the make and basic model
of aircraft to be flown, prior to conducting IOE flights.
3. One hour of IOE time may be credited for each additional takeoff and landing during each flight. Credit will
not exceed 50% of the minimum required hours. Time spent conducting the line check required by FAR
135.299 may be credited toward the required IOE hours.
* 4.
The IOE checking flight time will include the following items:
1. Status/possession of certificates & manuals
2. Flight planning
3. Aircraft preflight
4. Use of checklists
5. Crew coordination/management
6. Taxiing
7. Runway incursion avoidance

5 If the airman is not proficient after completing the required minimum hours for IOE for the airplane being
used, IOE time will continue until the PIC is proficient.
6. The check airman must determine when the PIC is proficient and then will recommend or conduct the initial
line check.
7. The record of all IOE time shall be kept in the airman's record for each make and basic model of aircraft.
8. The principal operations inspector may allow IOE in one make and model of single engine land aircraft which
would count toward IOE in a similar single engine make of aircraft.
*Note: See Section G, Page 12, for combined IOE/Line Check Form.
