How often must a Pilot in Command (PIC) undergo a line check?

A Pilot in Command (PIC) must undergo a line check every 12 months to ensure that they are compliant with regulatory requirements and are proficient in their flying duties. The purpose of this line check is to evaluate the pilot’s performance in actual flight operations, confirming their ability to safely manage the aircraft and respond to normal and emergency situations.

Being current on line checks is essential for maintaining operational standards and safety in aviation. Regular assessments also help to identify any areas where additional training may be necessary, further enhancing safety and efficiency in flight operations.
