14 CFR Part 121

[Docket No.: FAA-2016-9526; Amdt. No. 121-377A]
RIN 2120-AK95

Qualification, Service, and Use of Crewmembers and Aircraft 
Dispatchers; Related Aircraft Amendment

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; Correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a final rule published on December 16, 
2016. In that final rule, which becomes effective on January 17, 2017, 
the FAA will allow air carriers to seek a deviation from the flight 
simulation training device (FSTD) requirements for related aircraft 
proficiency checks. As a result, that rule will eliminate an 
inconsistency that currently permits carriers that have obtained FAA 
approval to modify the FSTD requirements for related aircraft 
differences training, but not for corresponding proficiency checks. The 
FAA inadvertently listed an incorrect Amendment Number for that final 
rule. This document corrects that error.

DATES: Effective January 17, 2017.
