Line Check
The flight crew member shall not act in any capacity as a pilot unless he has successfully completed a Line Check (LC). LC shall be conducted on the aeroplane during actual line operation. It is a test of a pilot's ability to satisfactorily perform a complete line operation in safe and efficient manner. It includes the conduct of pre-/post-flight procedures and the use of the onboard equipment. The period of validity of a LC is 12 calendar months from the end of the month of the check.

The 90 days period may be extended up to a maximum of 120 days by line flying under the supervision of a Type Rating Instructor or Examiner. For periods beyond 120 days, the recency renewal process shall be applied as defined in OM Part D.
Recently Qualified Pilots

Low Visibility Operations Certificate
The flight crew member shall not act in any capacity as a pilot during actual LVO (LVTO, CAT II/III) unless he can produce valid Company LVO Certificate for applicable aeroplane type.
Additionally, before commencing actual LVO, the following requirements are applicable to Commanders, who are new to the aircraft type/class:

Additional qualification requirements may also be prescribed for flight crew members performing special types of operation (e.g. Cruise Relief Captain, etc.). Processes to obtain and maintain these additional qualification requirements are defined in OM Part D.
Operation on more than One Type
Qualification for operation on more than one type/variant requires compliance with training, checking and recency requirements. If the types/variants are sufficiently similar and if the authority has approved the use of credit(s), then a differences/ familiarisation training program may be used and checking/recency may be done on either type / variant.
