Federal Aviation Administration 

Aviation Rulemaking Advisory 

Committee—New Task 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of new task assignment 

for the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory 

Committee (ARAC). 

SUMMARY: The FAA assigned the 

Aviation Rulemaking Advisory 

Committee (ARAC) a new task to 

develop maintenance requirements for 

aircraft used in commercial air tour 

operations. This is in response to 

National Transportation Safety Board 

(NTSB) recommendations. This notice is 

to inform the public of the new ARAC 

activity and solicit membership to a 

new Commercial Air Tour Maintenance 

(CATM) Working Group to support 

ARAC on this new task.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA established ARAC to 

provide advice and recommendations to 

the FAA Administrator on the FAA’s 

rulemaking activities with respect to 

aviation-related issues. This includes 

obtaining advice and recommendations 

on 14 CFR part 136—Commercial Air 

Tours and National Parks Air Tour 

Management. 

In March 2007, a helicopter, operating 

under part 135 as an air tour flight, 

crashed while trying to land in Hawaii. 

Due to this crash, NTSB, on June 12, 

2008, issued two safety 

recommendations to the FAA that 

identify the need for a maintenance 

quality assurance system and 

maintenance training for commercial air 

tour operations. The two safety 

recommendations are as follows: 

1. A–08–32: Require that all air tour 

operators (14 CFR parts 91 and 135) 

establish and maintain a system for 

continuously analyzing the performance 

and effectiveness of their inspection and 

maintenance program to ensure that all 

maintenance is performed with the 

utmost regard for quality and safety. 

2. A–08–33: Require air tour operators 

to provide formal, model specific 

helicopter maintenance training for 

their mechanics to ensure an adequate 

level of competency. 

FAA’s review of NTSB’s safety 

recommendations further identifies the 

need for a required inspection program 

for all commercial air tour operations. 

Current FAA regulations require that 

air carriers operating under parts 121 

and 135 (with aircraft type certificated 

for a passenger seating configuration, 

excluding any pilot seat, of ten seats or 

more) for the purpose of conducting air 

tours are required to have a 

maintenance quality assurance system, a 

maintenance training program and a 

required inspection program. However, 

similar requirements do not exist for 

aircraft operated under parts 91 and 135 

(with aircraft type certificated for a 

passenger seating configuration,
