US-FAA14 CFR 91.1707

Training program hours

This regulation defines the training levels used in the MU-2B aircraft special training program and references tables that specify required hours for ground instruction, flight instruction, and differences training (though the actual tables aren't shown in this excerpt).

The four training levels progress in complexity and realism:

Level A: Self-study by the pilot
Level B: Classroom instruction with a qualified instructor
Level C: Training in an FAA-approved flight training device (FTD) that specifically represents the MU-2B cockpit
Level E: Training in the actual MU-2B airplane or an advanced (Level C or D) simulator

These standardized levels ensure MU-2B pilots receive appropriate training using methods suited to different learning objectives. The MU-2B requires this special program due to its unique handling characteristics. Pilots must complete the specific combination of hours and training levels outlined in the referenced tables to meet the subpart's requirements.
