FAR 91.1107 — Recurrent Training

FAR 91.1107 sets the recurrent training rules for crewmembers in fractional ownership programs (Subpart K). The program manager is responsible for making sure every crewmember stays adequately trained and currently proficient for both the type of aircraft and the crewmember position they fly.

The rule has three parts:

• Program manager responsibility (a): Ensure each crewmember receives recurrent training and remains proficient.
• Recurrent ground training (b): Must include, at a minimum:
  • A quiz or review to verify the crewmember's knowledge of the aircraft and position.
  • Instruction as needed in the subjects from initial ground training, including low-altitude windshear, ground icing operations (per §§ 91.1097 and 91.1101), and emergency training.
• Recurrent flight training (c): Pilots must complete flight training on the maneuvers and procedures required by Subpart K. However, satisfactory completion of the § 91.1065 competency check within the preceding 12 months may be substituted for recurrent flight training.

This matters operationally because it ensures fractional crews don't get rusty — recurrent cycles catch knowledge gaps and keep emergency procedures sharp.
