A commercial airplane pilot holds a remote pilot certificate. The pilot's last part 107 training was 25 calendar months ago, and the pilot's flight review under §61.56 is no longer current. Which action would let this pilot again exercise remote pilot in command privileges?
- AComplete the part 61 pilot training that covers the §107.74 knowledge areas
- BComplete recurrent training covering the §107.73 knowledge areas
- CNothing, because holding a part 61 pilot certificate satisfies part 107 recency
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Complete recurrent training covering the §107.73 knowledge areas
§107.65 lists three ways to meet recency within 24 calendar months. The §107.74 training in paragraph (c) requires a part 61 certificate plus a current §61.56 flight review. Without a current flight review, this pilot must use paragraph (a) or (b), such as recurrent training covering the §107.73 areas.
- A. Incorrect. Under §107.65(c), the §107.74 training path is available only to a part 61 certificate holder who meets the flight review requirements of §61.56, which this pilot does not.
- B. Correct. §107.65(b) accepts recurrent training covering the §107.73 areas within the previous 24 calendar months, with no flight review condition.
- C. Incorrect. §107.65 requires one of the listed tests or trainings within the previous 24 calendar months; a part 61 certificate alone is not one of them.
