type rating specifics 135.299?

299

The 299 must be done in an aircraft. It is not type specific so it can be done in any type
of aircraft. I have found nothing stating that the 299 is operator specific. However, 293
and 297 checks are operator specific, as you must show that the training they recieved
from the other operator is equal or better than yours in all areas. Which means that they
will not approve the ones from inhouse training programs. And can and do accept Flight
Safety and Simuflite programs. Flight Safety and Simuflite both put N/A in the 299 box on
all 8410s.

There is a great deal of discussion right now on the 135 rewrite to either eliminate the
299 ride or allow a LOFT ride to be used. The 299 ride was originally intended for
scheduled operations till some legal eagle at the FAA came up with a 'bright' idea to get
more flying time.

135 line checks were required when I came on the scene over 30 years ago. Also, how does this requirement create more flying time for a FAA "legal eagle"?

.299

If you had to, most feds will approve the Flight Safety or Simuflite check airmen to do your .299 in the plane.

.299 is not required for #91 ops, you were legal when you left the level D with the type rating.
