With us familiarization flights were only required into special fields that
presented real problems if the pilot was not fully aware of them. If they
could be programmed into the flight simulator it was done there.

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.)

PROVING FLIGHTS....but that does not include ALL Pilots.
