transport pilot written examination, need be examined only on Sections 1, 3, 4, and 7.

(2) An applicant who holds a commercial pilot certificate, or a valid Form ACA-578A indicating passing grades on Sections 3 and 4 of the commercial pilot written examination or a passing grade on the new unsectionalized commercial pilot written examination, need be examined only on Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7.

(3) An applicant who holds both an airframe and powerplant mechanic certificate, or valid Form ACA-578A indicating passing grades on all sections of both examinations, need be examined only on Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. (Published in 16 F.R. 1630, Feb. 16, 1951, effective Feb. 16, 1951; amended in 22 F.R. 2040-1, Mar. 28, 1957, effective Apr. 30, 1957.)

35.8 Skill. Applicant shall pass a practical test in the duties of a flight engineer during flight on an aircraft having 4 or more engines and certificated in the transport category or on an aircraft having 4 or more engines and incorporating a flight engineer station; and shall demonstrate competency with respect to: (a) Normal duties and procedures relating to aircraft, aircraft engines, propellers, and appliances;

(b) Recognition of the malfunctioning of aircraft, aircraft engines, propellers, and appliances, and the taking of appropriate action thereon;

(c) Emergency duties and procedures relating to aircraft, aircraft engines, propellers, and appliances.

35.8-1 Aircraft used in flight tests (CAA interpretations which apply to sec. 35.8). The term "aircraft having four or more engines and incorporating a flight engineer station" includes military aircraft.

(Published in 16 F.R. 1630, Feb. 16, 1951, effective Feb. 16, 1951; amended in 22 F.R 2041, Mar. 28, 1957, effective Apr. 30, 1957.)

35.8-2 Practical examination (CAA policies which apply to sec. 35.8). (a) The practical examination will not be given on flights engaged in the transportation of passengers for hire.

(b) The applicant must have successfully completed the written examination required by sec. 35.7 within 24 months prior to taking the practical examination. The 24-month limitation shall not apply if the applicant has been continuously employed since taking the written examination in a capacity acceptable as qualifying experience in accordance with Part 35.

(c) The practical examination will include the applicable items listed on Form ACA-1863A (see figure 1). All the items listed under "emergency operation" may be simulated during flight with the exception of Item 49, Propeller Feathering and Unfeathering, and Item 52, Meto Power Application (missed approach). If it is desired to simulate the emergency procedures (except Items 49 and 52) this may be accomplished in the aircraft by explaining the failure or malfunction to the applicant and having him explain in detail the procedures he would follow. He should also be required to point out each appropriate control and its direction of movement.

(Published in 22 F.R. 2041, Mar. 28, 1957, effective Apr. 30, 1957.) 35.9 Limited certificate.

(a) An applicant may be certificated as a flight engineer for an aircraft having less than 4 engines: Provided, That (1) the design of the aircraft incorporates a flight engineer station satisfactory to the Administrator, (2) the applicant meets the requirements of sections 35.1 through 35.6, and (3) the applicant passes written and practical examinations respecting such aircraft on the subjects listed in sections 35.7 and 35.8.

(b) A certificate issued under the provisions of this section shall contain an appropriate limitation which may be removed at such time as the holder of the certificate passes the written and practical tests prescribed in sections 35.7 and 35.8.

35.9-1 Limited flight engineer certificates (CAA policies which apply to sec. 35.9 (b)). Since the written examination for a limited flight engineer certificate

is the same as that given for an unlimited flight engineer certificate, the holder of a limited certificate may have the limitation removed without retaking the written examination. However, he will be required to take the practical examination on an aircraft which meets the requirements of section 35.8.

(Published in 16 F.R. 1630, Feb. 16, 1951, effective Feb. 16, 1951; amended in 22 F.R. 2041, Mar. 28, 1957, effective Apr. 30, 1957.)
