Course Information
Thank you for choosing FlightSafety International as your provider for aviation training. We value your partnership.
The FAA considers the ground based oral and simulator sessions of a multi-day or progressive recurrent pilot course, to be a §61.58 Pilot-in-Command (PIC) proficiency check. Therefore, the same training and proficiency limitations apply to the entire event as they would on a single, stand-alone proficiency checking event. If you are currently assigned to a multi-day or progressive checking event, it is presumed that you are proficient on all FAA ACS or PTS tasks and thereby can perform to the standard on the first attempt of each task. The FAA has specified that FlightSafety is allowed to suspend checking to retrain a task and then recheck that task during the same or subsequent simulator checking session. However, evaluators are limited to two (2) retraining/rechecking instances per multi-day or progressive proficiency check.
Per FAA guidance, if more than two (2) tasks require retraining and rechecking, then the entire §61.58 proficiency check will be recorded as unsatisfactory. The pilot will need to complete the remainder of the tasks in the recurrent training course to proficiency and then satisfactorily complete a stand-alone check; this event will consist of checking the retrained tasks and any other remaining tasks not completed in the prior checking attempt. Please note that this stand-alone check may result in an additional day on your existing reservation.
If you find that you would rather participate in recurrent training simulator sessions followed by a stand-alone proficiency check, please let your FlightSafety Scheduling Specialist know as soon as possible. We will work to modify your existing reservation and accommodate your request.
