14 CFR §61.58 regulatory excerpt

§61.58(i) states that within the preceding 12 calendar months a pilot-in-command proficiency check must be completed in an aircraft that is type certificated for more than one required pilot flight crewmember. A grace month is given within which to complete the 12-month proficiency check requirement. If a pilot takes the pilot-in-command proficiency check in the calendar month before or the calendar month after the month in which it is due, the pilot is considered to have taken it in the month in which it was due for the purpose of computing when the next pilot-in-command §61.58 proficiency check is due.
