## Text

||
|
||
(a) Prohibition.— No pilot in command of an aircraft may allow an individual who does not hold—
|
||
|
||
(1) a valid private pilots certificate issued by the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration under part 61 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations; and
|
||
|
||
(2) the appropriate medical certificate issued by the Administrator under part 67 of such title,
|
||
|
||
to manipulate the controls of an aircraft if the pilot knows or should have known that the individual is attempting to set a record or engage in an aeronautical competition or aeronautical feat, as defined by the Administrator.
|
||
|
||
(b) Revocation of Airmen Certificates.— The Administrator shall issue an order revoking a certificate issued to an airman under section 44703 of this title if the Administrator finds that while acting as a pilot in command of an aircraft, the airman has permitted another individual to manipulate the controls of the aircraft in violation of subsection (a).
|
||
|
||
(c) Pilot in Command Defined.— In this section, the term “pilot in command” has the meaning given such term by section 1.1 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations.
