Regulation Text
(a) Each program manager must ensure that each crewmember receives recurrent training and is adequately trained and currently proficient for the type aircraft and crewmember position involved.
(b) Recurrent ground training for crewmembers must include at least the following:
(1) A quiz or other review to determine the crewmember's knowledge of the aircraft and crewmember position involved.
(2) Instruction as necessary in the subjects required for initial ground training by this subpart, as appropriate, including low-altitude windshear training and training on operating during ground icing conditions, as prescribed in § 91.1097 and described in § 91.1101, and emergency training.
(c) Recurrent flight training for pilots must include, at least, flight training in the maneuvers or procedures in this subpart, except that satisfactory completion of the check required by § 91.1065 within the preceding 12 months may be substituted for recurrent flight training.
The short answer
(14 CFR § 91.1107) requires the program manager to ensure each crewmember receives recurrent training and stays currently proficient. Recurrent ground training must include a knowledge quiz or review plus instruction as needed in initial-training subjects; recurrent pilot flight training may be satisfied by passing the § 91.1065 check within the preceding 12 months.
