Ground training subjects are listed under 61.31(g)  \nTo operate tailwheel airplanes, pilots must receive flight training from an instructor and receive an endorsement. Tasks required are listed in 61.31(i)  \n61.51 Flight time used to meet requirements for a certificate, rating, or flight review, or for currency must be logged in accordance with this section. In theory this doesn’t have to be in a“logbook” but the various logbooks out there have sections that meet the logging requirements in this section.  \n61.56 A flight review is required every 24 calendar months and requires a minimum of 1hr of ground and 1hr of flight instruction and must include a general review of part 91, maneuvers atthe discretion of the instructor. Flight reviews are not required if you have completed an airman practical test within the time period (essentially it resets the clock) .  \n51.57 To act as PIC with passengers a pilot must, within 90 days, complete 3 takeoffs and landings in the category, class and type (if applicable) of the aircraft to be flown. To operate atailwheel aircraft or at night, these landings must be completed to a full stop, and in the applicable conditions (tailwheel, night) .  \nThis section also stipulates the regulations for accomplishing this currency using a flight training device or simulator.  \nVERSION 2 REVISED 5/24/19  \n61.60 The holder of a pilot, flight instructor or ground instructor certificate who has made a change in permanent mailing address must notify the FAA of the address change within 30 days. After 30 days they may not exercise privileges  \nThis can now be performed online on the FAA website.  \n61.69 Outlines the requirements to act as PIC while towing gliders or ultra-lights. In short, the pilot must have at least a private pilot certificate with powered aircraft category rating and 100 hours in the category, class and type (if required) and be endorsed by an instructor after receiving ground and flight training.  \n61.95 A student pilot may not enter class B as PIC unless they have received ground and flight training in that specific class B airspace, and have received the appropriate endorsement from an instructor. Furthermore, they may not operate to an airport within class B without receiving ground and flight training at that specific airport and received and endorsement.  \nRegardless, there are still several class B airports that do not permit any student pilot operations. These are listed in FAR 91 Appendix D Section 4 and include: Atlanta, Boston, Camp Springs, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, New York, San Francisco and Washington DC ","cbCaig2nAPw8jsz7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig2nAPw8jsz7","pdf",79419,"English","# 61.3 Pilot document and medical requirements\n# 61.15 Alcohol and drug-related consequences\n# 61.23 Student and private pilot privileges\n# 61.31 PIC eligibility: ratings, training, solo endorsement\n# Complex, high-performance, and pressurized aircraft endorsements\n# 61.51 Flight time logging requirements\n# 61.56 Flight review and instructor ground/flight instruction\n# 61.57 Passenger and landing currency rules\n# 61.60 Address change notification\n# 61.69 Towing gliders or ultra-lights requirements\n# 61.95 Student pilot limits in Class B airspace\n# 61.101 Recreational pilot privileges and prohibitions\n# 61.103 Private pilot eligibility requirements\n# 61.109 Flight time requirements (partial)","[{\"question\":\"What documents and medical certificates must a pilot carry under 61.3?\",\"answer\":\"A pilot must carry a pilot certificate, a government issued photo identification, and a medical certificate.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the core requirements for acting as PIC under 61.31?\",\"answer\":\"A pilot must have the appropriate category, class, and type rating (if required), or have received authorized training and been endorsed for solo flight.
