(3) Flight Training Requirements. To meet the completion standards, most flight lessons should be scenario based. It is understood that the training provider can and should incorporate repetitive skills based training into the flight lessons and/or scenarios. The training provider should incorporate SRM, RM, ADM, AM, SA, and CFIT awareness training throughout the flight training. The training provider should incorporate learner centered grading into the entire training program.
(a) The training program should include a minimum of 16 hours of flight time in seven or more lessons.
(b) Training providers may use FAA-approved simulators and/or FTDs to accomplish the flight training requirements.
(c) The training program should include flight training operations in Class A, C, and D airspace. The FAA encourages Flight training operations in Class B, E, and G.
(d) The training program should include night flight. If a mentor program is part of the training program, and night flight is a required part of mentor program, then the FAA does not require a night flight in the type rating training program. If the pilot is not subject to a mentor program, or if the mentor program does not have a requirement for night flight, then night flight is required in the type rating training program.

6. MENTOR PROGRAM. The mentoring program is for pilots with low flight time or experience in turbine-powered aircraft. It is intended to provide the pilot with additional experience, under the watchful eye of an experienced mentor. Additionally, the training provider designs a mentor program for pilots who received their type rating in a traditional type rating program. If an applicant meets the experience requirement listed below (after successful completion of the type rating training program) prior to taking the practical test, then equivalency has been met and the FAA will not require post-type-rating training.
a. Mentor Supervised Events. After successfully completing a traditional type rating training program, the pilot will be required to perform a number of events under mentor supervision. The matrix below lists the minimum number of events for a specific pilot experience level. Tailor events to individual requirements, as dictated by the pilot’s typical operating profile. After an assessment of the pilot’s prior experience and level of performance during type training, the training provider will assign him or her an individualized profile that will prescribe a list of events and the number of times the pilot should accomplish each event.
There is no specific fixed number of flight hours required for a given pilot’s mentoring program, unless the minimum hour requirements of part 61, § 61.64 apply.
b. Mentor Providers. Since a mentor program is part of initial training, the training provider oversees that program. The establishment of organizations providing only mentor services is expected and training providers may contract with these mentor service providers.
In this case the training provider and the mentor services provider will work closely together in developing mentor programs tailored to the pilot, considering the pilot’s experience and performance during the type rating training.
c. Assigned Profile. A pilot will not have completed the training provider’s EA-500 training program until he or she completes the assigned profile and the mentor is satisfied without reservation that the pilot is safe to operate consistently as a solo pilot in the EA-500.
Appendix 1
d. Required Mentoring Documentation. The training provider needs to document that the pilot has received the required mentoring. This documentation should include certification that the pilot has satisfactorily completed the assigned mentoring as listed in his or her mentor profile. The training provider shall issue the pilot a certificate or sign-off indicating that the required mentoring is complete.
e. Mentor Matrix/Profile. The matrix below will be used to identify a pilot’s initial profile based on previous flight experience. Subsequently, as determined by the manager of flight training, the training provider assigns an individual profile based on performance in the type rating training. This profile will be provided to the pilot and mentor prior to initiating their mentoring program. If the pilot meets one portion of a higher experience level, but only a lower portion of another, the pilot should complete the mentoring program of the lower experienced pilot. For example, if the pilot has over 5,000 hours but only one type rating, then that pilot should complete the “MODERATE EXPERIENCE PILOT” mentor profile.
