Spring is right around the corner. While you're cleaning around your office and getting ready for the warmer weather, it may be worth considering refreshing your flight training, too. While certain pilot licenses don't expire, recurrent training is still important (and often required), especially because safety procedures can change. But how do you know when it's time to refresh your flight training?

Consider Your Type Rating

According to SkyTough, there are over 100,000 commercial pilots operating in the United States. Different pilots have different type ratings, which is the designation on your license that proves you can fly a specific aircraft. The FAA mandates certain requirements depending on your type rating. For example, a SIC-type rating doesn't expire, but it's necessary to have three bounces in the last year. A PIC-type rating, on the other hand, needs to be current, and you'll need annual recurrent training to maintain your license. This is for your safety as well as for the safety of others on the aircraft and on the ground.

Consider How Long You've Been Flying

While all pilot certificate holders in the U.S. are required to take a biennial flight review every 24 months, you may need recurrent trainings if you've taken a longer break from flying. Of course, you'll still have your credits from your initial classes and certification, and your pilot's license doesn't go away simply because it's been many years since you've gotten behind the wheel of a plane. However, you'll need additional recurrent training to ensure you're up-to-date on the latest regulatory changes, safety procedures, and more.

Even if you aren’t located in the United States, Jet Safety International is here to provide for your recurrent and citation training needs.

What is the origin of CRM?

CRM (originally Cockpit Resource Management) originated from a NASA workshop in 1979 with an NTSB recommendation made during their investigation of the 1978 United Airlines Flight-173 crash in which a DC-8 crew ran out of fuel over Portland, Oregon while troubleshooting a landing gear problem.

The evolution of CRM (now Crew Resource Management) over the years has changed the letter ‘C’ to “Crew” because CRM involves the entire flight and ground crew including ATC. The basic principles of CRM emphasize the Non-Technical aspects of Airmanship and are part of required training for PIC type rating and SIC type rating.

What is Airmanship?

Airmanship is to operate an aircraft: SAFELY, EFFICIENTLY, and EFFECTIVELY, Utilizing;

• Technical (Knowledge and Skill) and

• Non-Technical Domains (Attitude / CRM / TEM).

What is CRM and who needs it?

CRM is a discipline that includes skills and procedures providing the means of improving human behavior in interpersonal relationships. CRM is both an observable discipline and a set of behaviors that are essential for pilots with an SIC Type Rating or a PIC Type Rating.

1. Necessary

If you already have a PIC type rating, you are undoubtedly aware that to continue to fly that aircraft type as PIC, recurrent training classes are required by law. Specifically the FAA regulation 14 CFR Part 61.58 Pilot-in-command proficiency check: Operation of an aircraft that requires more than one pilot flight crew member or is turbojet-powered.

This requirement is annual (12 calendar months) and if you fly multiple aircraft requiring a type rating then at least one type of recurrent training must be within 12 months and the others within 24 months.

Further, If a pilot takes the required pilot-in-command proficiency check in the calendar month before or the calendar month after the month in which it is due, the pilot is considered to have taken it in the month in which it was due for the purpose of computing when the next pilot-in-command proficiency check is due.

2. Important

PIC Recurrent Training is Important because refreshing and updating your aviation knowledge and flight proficiency is necessary for pilot competency therefore safety.

What Is a Type Rating?

Aviation regulations require that to fly an aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight greater than 12,500 Lbs. and/or an aircraft powered by turbojet engines that the pilots must hold at least PIC (Pilot in Command) type rating for the Captain's seat and at least an SIC (Second in Command) type rating for the co-pilot seat.

Flying a large or turbojet aircraft requires a high degree of knowledge and skill. To earn a PIC type rating, a pilot must complete extensive ground study and classroom ground school to prepare for the oral examination. The pilot in training will also undergo extensive flight training on maneuvers and procedures and simulated emergency operations in a flight simulator or in the actual aircraft to prepare for the flight portion of the examination.

Upon passing these tests, the pilot will receive a type rating on their certificate (license). Type ratings are specific to the actual aircraft type and may cover several models or versions of that aircraft type. The type ratings offered by Jet Safety International are the Citation CE-500 and CE-525.
