Petitions For Rulemaking

Docket No.: 28050

Petitioner: Mr. Richard D. Henry

Regulations Affected: 14 CFR 121.305(f)

Description of Rulechange Sought: To

delete paragraph (f) of § 121.305 and

replace it with a new paragraph (f), to

read as follows: A gyroscopic rate of

turn indicator combined with an

integral slip-skid indicator (turn and

bank indicator).

Petitioner’s Reason for the Request: The

petitioner feels that such a change

reflects several things: Graveyard

spirals, spins, rolls, and split ‘‘S’’

upsets continue to plague the

industry; reliable means for the

stopping of the turn is essential; turn

needle is still the most trustworthy

gyro to guarantee that the turn is

stopped; new laser gyro’s on occasion

do tumble, notwithstanding the fact

that they are rate gyro driven; turn

needle is the only gyro that is sage for

use following an in-flight power

restoration during dynamic gravity

influence, the only one to guarantee

proper erection.

Docket No.: 28111

Petitioner: Mr. Alankar Gupta

Sections of the FAR Affected: 14 CFR

parts 121 and 135

Description of Rulechange Sought: To

prevent any person from transporting,

storing, displaying, or using, on the

flight deck, any visual or audible

material that is unnecessary for safe

operation of the airplane or is

offensive to any crewmember.

Petitioner’s Reason for the Request: The

petitioner feels that such material has

caused a number of instances of

unpleasant, tense, stressful, or

confusing situations within the

cockpits aboard commercial aircraft.

Such conditions can lead to reduced

crew performance capabilities. Also,

tense, stressful, unpleasant, or

bewildering conditions can cause the

crew to respond slowly (or wrongly)

during emergency situations. This can

lead to accidents.

Dispositions of Petitions

Docket No.: 25063

Petitioner: Air Line Pilots Association

Sections of FAR Affected: 14 FR 121.437

Description of Rulechange Sought: To

increase the basic flight time and

experience requirements for persons

acting as pilots in command of air

carrier aircraft having a passenger

seating capacity, excluding any pilot

seat, of more than 30 seats or a

payload capacity of more than 7500

pounds. It would also increase the

basic flight time and experience

requirements of persons acting as

second in command of large aircraft

or turbojet-powered multiengine

aircraft type certificated for more than

one required flight crewmember.

Petitioner’s Reason for the Request: The

petitioner feels that because of the

growing complexity and changes in

operations within commercial

aviation a continually escalating need

for new pilots has meant rapid pilot

progression from the position of

second in command to pilot in

command.
