FAR 91.1081 — Crewmember Training Requirements
FAR 91.1081 requires fractional ownership program managers to provide initial, transition, upgrade, recurrent, and emergency crewmember training.
FAR 91.1081 lays out what a fractional ownership program manager must include in its crewmember training program. It's the framework rule — other sections (91.1083, 91.1101, 91.1103, 91.1105, 91.1107) fill in the specifics.
Each program must provide:
- Basic indoctrination for new hires, covering crewmember duties, applicable regulations, the program manager's management specifications (not required for flight attendants), and relevant portions of the operating manual.
- Initial and transition ground training per §§ 91.1101 and 91.1105.
- Emergency training per § 91.1083.
- Initial and transition flight training per § 91.1103.
- Recurrent ground and flight training per § 91.1107.
- Upgrade training when a SIC moves to PIC on the same aircraft type.
- Additional training, instruction, and practice so each crewmember stays proficient in their aircraft, position, and type of operation, and qualifies on new equipment, procedures, or aircraft modifications.
Why it matters: in fractional operations, the program manager — not the owner — is responsible for ensuring every crewmember is trained and current for the job they're flying.
