The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 14 CFR Part 135 after this date.
79 FR 65139 - Departing IFR/VFR When Weather Reporting Is Not Available; Confirmation of Effective Date
FR Doc. 2014-26052
RIN 2120-AK49
Docket No. FAA-2014-0502
Amdt. No. 135-131
The direct final rule published July 28, 2014 (79 FR 43619) will become effective on April 22, 2015.
This action confirms the effective date of the direct final rule published on July 28, 2014, and responds to the comments received on that direct final rule. The rule permits the pilot in command of a helicopter air ambulance to assess the weather at a departure point where current weather observations are not available and allows the pilot to depart if the observed ceiling and visibility is greater than certain weather minimums. This action will allow a pilot to utilize the minimum takeoff visibilities depicted in a published obstacle departure procedure, or in the absence of such a procedure, when the pilot observed ceiling and visibility is greater than the minimum ceiling and visibility limitations required by specific helicopter air ambulance rules. This change to the current regulation will permit helicopter air ambulance flights to enter the National Airspace System (NAS) under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) when visibilities and ceilings are below Visual Flight Rules (VFR), thus increasing the safety of the flight.
79 FR 58672 - Helicopter Air Ambulance, Commercial Helicopter, and Part 91 Helicopter Operations; Clarification
FR Doc. 2014-23250
This document provides clarification of the intent of the Approach/Departure IFR Transitions regulation contained in the Helicopter Air Ambulance, Commercial Helicopter, and Part 91 Helicopter Operations final rule, published on February 22, 2014. After publication, the FAA received comments and questions from intended users and industry advocacy groups about the clarity of terms used in this regulation, specifically, regarding the use of published instrument approaches and departures and the visibility limitations and differences between the terms “proceed visually” and “proceed VFR”. The FAA is clarifying the terms and intent of this regulation in order to increase situational awareness and enhance Helicopter Air Ambulance safety. This clarification is intended for Part 135 air carriers engaged in helicopter air ambulance operations, and Principal Inspectors with oversight responsibility for helicopter air ambulance operations.
79 FR 43619 - Departing IFR/VFR When Weather Reporting Is Not Available
FR Doc. 2014-17729
Effective April 22, 2015. Submit comments on or before September 26, 2014. If we receive an adverse comment or notice of intent to file an adverse comment, we will advise the public by publishing a document in the Federal Register withdrawing the direct final rule before the effective date of the final rule.
This action will permit the pilot in command of a helicopter air ambulance to assess the weather at a departure point where current weather observations are not available and allow the pilot to depart if the observed ceiling and visibility is greater than certain weather minimums. This action will allow a pilot to utilize the minimum takeoff visibilities depicted in a published obstacle departure procedure, or in the absence of such a procedure, when the pilot observed ceiling and visibility is greater than the minimum ceiling and visibility limitations required by specific helicopter air ambulance rules. This change to the current regulation will permit helicopter air ambulance flights to enter the National Airspace System under Instrument Flight Rules when visibilities and ceilings are below Visual Flight Rules, thus increasing the safety of the flight.
78 FR 66865 - Interpretation of Rest Requirements
FR Doc. 2013-26485
Notice of proposed interpretation; withdrawal.
The notice of proposed interpretation published December 23, 2010, at 75 FR 80746 is withdrawn as of November 7, 2013.
On December 23, 2010, FAA published a Notice of Proposed Interpretation seeking public comment on the application of certain rest requirements during on-demand operations. Section 346 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 provided that the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration may not finalize the interpretation proposed in Docket No. FAA-2010-1259, relating to rest requirements, and published in the Federal Register on December 23, 2010. Consistent with this statute, no further action will be taken with regard to this interpretation.
78 FR 9865 - Air Carrier Contract Maintenance Requirements; Extension of Comment Period
FR Doc. 2013-03178
The comment period for the NPRM published on November 13, 2012 (77 FR 67584), was scheduled to close on February 11, 2013, and is extended until March 13, 2013.
This action extends the comment period for an NPRM that was published November 13, 2012. In that rulemaking, the FAA proposed to amend the maintenance regulations for domestic, flag, and supplemental operations, and commuter and on-demand operations for aircraft type certificated with a passenger seating configuration of 10 seats or more (excluding any pilot seat). It would require these operators to develop policies, procedures, methods, and instructions for performing contract maintenance that are acceptable to the FAA and to include them in their maintenance manuals. It would also require the operators to provide a list to the FAA of all persons with whom they contract their maintenance. At the behest of several of their FAA-certificated air carrier members, Regional Air Cargo Carriers Association (RACCA) requested that the FAA extend the comment period closing date to allow time to adequately analyze the NPRM and prepare comments.
FR Doc. 2012-27433
77 FR 11738 - Authorization To Use Lower Than Standard Takeoff, Approach and Landing Minimums at Military and Foreign Airports; Confirmation of Effective Date
FR Doc. 2012-4633
RIN 2120-AK02
Docket No. FAA-2012-0007
Amdt. No. 135-126
The effective date for the direct final rule published on January 11, 2012, at 77 FR 1629, is confirmed as February 27, 2012.
This action confirms the effective date of the direct final rule published on January 11, 2012. The rule allows qualified operators to conduct lower than standard instrument flight rules (IFR) airport operations at military airports or outside the United States when authorized to do so by their operations specifications.
77 FR 7010 - Clarification of Policy Regarding Approved Training Programs; Correction
FR Doc. 2012-3194
Docket No. FAA 2011-1397
Written comments must be received on or before February 27, 2012.
The FAA is correcting a notice published on December 27, 2011 (76 FR 80831). In that notice of availability the FAA announced the availability of an FAA Notice that would require FAA inspectors to review policy regarding approved training programs as well as to identify and correct those training programs which erroneously issued credit for previous training or checking. The Notice also provided guidance on constructing reduced hour training programs based on previous experience. Upon review of the comments and any necessary revision, the Notice would cancel and replace FAA Order 8900.1, Volume 3, Chapter 19, Paragraph 3-1111. This document corrects an incorrect comment due date.
77 FR 1629 - Authorization To Use Lower Than Standard Takeoff, Approach and Landing Minimums at Military and Foreign Airports
FR Doc. 2012-356
Effective: February 27, 2012. Comments for inclusion in the Rules Docket must be received on or before February 10, 2012.
This rulemaking would allow qualified operators to conduct lower than standard instrument flight rules (IFR) airport operations at military airports or outside the United States when authorized to do so by their operations specifications. This action is necessary because the current regulatory section limits certain operators to a takeoff minimum visibility of 1 mile, and a landing minimum visibility of 1/2 mile when conducting IFR operations at those airports, even when the operator has demonstrated the ability to safely conduct operations in lower visibility. The intended effect of this final rule is to bring the identified regulatory section into alignment with other sections of the regulations that currently permit lower than standard IFR operations at domestic civilian, foreign, and military airports when authorized to do so.
