Only an approved pilot check airman(121.441(b)(2)), not a sim instructor or just an ATP, can give a 121.441 PC. You must be designated by the FAA on your check airman approval letter as either a "Proficiency Check Airman - Simulator" or "Check Airman - All Checks" to conduct a 121.441 PC in an approved flight simulator.



Thanks.
I looked at the FAR's, and I now have to agree that a PC in a 121 SIM (even for an FO) should count as a BFR. However, I'm not confident that a PT would count since it's "training" and technically not a flight check. We should all get at least one PC every two years anyway...just watch the late grace month, that would NOT apply to a BFR!
