PLT367: Large Airplane Operating Rules
What code PLT367 covers, why the FAA tests it, and how to study Large Airplane Operating Rules before your checkride.
Recall regulations - additional equipment/operating requirements large transport aircraft
What this means for your checkride
Part 125 prescribes rules for U.S.-registered civil airplanes and powered-lift that have a seating configuration of 20 or more passengers or a maximum payload capacity of 6,000 pounds or more, when common carriage is not involved. Operators of these large aircraft must hold the appropriate certificate and operations specifications and meet the additional equipment and operating requirements of the part. A person who already holds the certificate needed to operate under Part 121, 129, or 135 is not eligible for a Part 125 certificate.
Pilots must recognize which large airplanes fall under Part 125 and that these aircraft carry additional equipment and operating requirements beyond general aviation rules.
Part 125 does not apply to operations conducted in common carriage; those fall under Part 121 or 135 instead.
Where to study it
A code on your test report is an area of deficiency. An authorized instructor must review it with you and endorse that review before you take the practical test, and the examiner may revisit it during the oral. Study it until you can explain it out loud, not just recognize the answer.
