CAPT OF AN MLG ACR ACFT INADVERTENTLY OPERATED ACFT WITH EXPIRED LINE CHK.

Narrative

4 DAYS AFTER I COMPLETED MY REGULAR 6 MONTHS CHK (SIMULATOR LOFT TRAINING SEP/XX/93); I WAS ON THE 2ND DAY OF A 4-DAY TRIP. A COMPANY TRAINING INSTRUCTOR CALLED ME AT MY OVERNIGHT LOCATION AND INFORMED ME THAT I WAS PAST MY GRACE MONTH FOR A LINE CHK. I WAS TAKEN OFF AND REPLACED FROM THAT 4-DAY TRIP AND WAS TOLD NOT TO FLY UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. COMPANY MGMNT NOTIFIED THE FAA OF THIS MISSED LINE CHK; AND IS CURRENTLY AWAITING WORD FROM THEM AS TO WHAT IS REQUIRED TO GET ME RECERTIFIED. ACCORDING TO OUR COMPANY FLT OPS MANUAL; A LINE PLT; LIKE MYSELF; IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SCHEDULING OR NOTIFYING THE COMPANY TRAINING DEPT THAT A LINE CHK IS DUE. THEY ARE SCHEDULED BY THE COMPANY; BUT NOT AT ANY CERTAIN TIME AS WITH GND SCHOOL; RECURRENT GND SCHOOL; OR RECURRENT SIMULATOR CHKS; ETC. HOWEVER; IF I KNEW I WAS PAST DUE; OR APCHING MY TIME FOR A LINE CHK; I CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE NOTIFIED THE TRAINING DEPT. IT'S JUST THAT THEY ARE SCHEDULED WITH SUCH IRREGULARITY YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO OCCUR; AND IT'S AT COMPANY TRAINING CONVENIENCE TO SCHEDULE AND COMPLETE THEM.
