Default Crashing on takeoff... how odd

I can't find anything in Part 121 to support this assertion...but maybe I'm
not using the correct search arguments. Do you have a regulation citation?

I've never heard of this before.


All aircarriers are required to fly prescribed familiarization flights
into and out of any airport they intend to serve several times without
passengers before they begin passenger service. (There is a term for it,
but old age prevents me from recalling what it is.)

Having said that, I wonder if they are given credit for using the sim to
fullfil this requirement in these days of high level simulators?
