83 FR 12474 - Qualification, Service, and Use of Crewmembers and Aircraft Dispatchers; Related Aircraft Amendment; Technical Amendment
FR Doc. 2018-05859
RIN 2120-AK95
Docket No. FAA-2016-9526
Amdt. No. 121-377B
Effective March 22, 2018.
The FAA publishes this action to correct a minor, editorial error in a December 16, 2016 final rule on related aircraft proficiency checks. The FAA published a final rule to allow air carriers to seek a deviation from the flight simulation training device (FSTD) requirements for related aircraft proficiency checks. The rule eliminated an inconsistency that permitted carriers that have obtained FAA approval to modify the FSTD requirements for related aircraft differences training, but not for corresponding proficiency checks. As a result, the rule allowed air carriers to seek a deviation from the FSTD requirements for such proficiency checks based on a related aircraft designation and determination of an equivalent level of safety. This technical amendment removes a redundancy in the regulatory text that now exists as a result of the final rule.
83 FR 4421 - Revisions to Operational Requirements for the Use of Enhanced Flight Vision Systems (EFVS) and to Pilot Compartment View Requirements for Vision Systems; Correcting Amendment
FR Doc. C1-2018-00225
Amdt. No. 121-376B
83 FR 1186 - Revisions to Operational Requirements for the Use of Enhanced Flight Vision Systems (EFVS) and to Pilot Compartment View Requirements for Vision Systems; Correcting Amendment
FR Doc. 2018-00225
The FAA is correcting a final rule published on December 13, 2016. In that rule, the FAA amended its regulations to allow operators to use an enhanced flight vision system (EFVS) in lieu of natural vision to continue descending from 100 feet above the touchdown zone elevation (TDZE) to the runway and to land on certain straight-in instrument approach procedures (IAPs) under instrument flight rules (IFR). As part of the final rule, the FAA revised appendix F to part 121 to provide greater clarity on the checking requirements for EFVS. In amending appendix F to part 121, the FAA used amendatory instructions that inadvertently misplaced new paragraph III(c)(5). This document amends appendix F to part 121 to correct that error.
82 FR 34397 - Removal of References to Obsolete Navigation Systems; Technical Amendment
FR Doc. 2017-15517
RIN 2120-AL10
Docket No. FAA-2017-0733
Amdt. Nos. 1-71, 63-39, 121-379, 125-67, 135-137, 147-8, 170-4
14 CFR Parts 1, 63, 121, 125, 135, 147, and 170
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is removing references to the obsolete navigation systems Loran, Omega and Consol that currently appear in FAA regulations.
81 FR 95860 - Qualification, Service, and Use of Crewmembers and Aircraft Dispatchers; Related Aircraft Amendment
FR Doc. 2016-31507
Amdt. No. 121-377A
81 FR 90979 - Qualification, Service, and Use of Crewmembers and Aircraft Dispatchers; Related Aircraft Amendment
FR Doc. 2016-30211
Amdt. No. 121-397
Effective January 17, 2017. Submit comments on or before February 14, 2017.
80 FR 58575 - Disclosure of Seat Dimensions To Facilitate Use of Child Safety Seats on Airplanes During Passenger-Carrying Operations
FR Doc. 2015-24720
RIN 2120-AK17
Docket No. FAA-2014-0205
Amdt. Nos. 11-57 and 121-373
This rule is effective October 30, 2015. Compliance with this rule is required February 29, 2016.
14 CFR Parts 11 and 121
This final rule requires air carriers conducting domestic, flag, and supplemental operations to make available on their Web sites information to enable passengers to determine which child restraint system can be used on airplanes in these operations. Specifically, this final rule requires air carriers to make available on their Web sites the width of the narrowest and widest passenger seats in each class of service for each make, model and series of airplane used in passenger-carrying operations.
80 FR 25215 - Air Carrier Contract Maintenance Requirements; Correction
FR Doc. 2015-10423
Docket No. FAA-2011-1136
Amdt. Nos. 121-371A and 135-132A
This correction is effective on May 4, 2015. The effective date of the final rule published March 4, 2015 (80 FR 11537), is corrected to March 4, 2016.
The FAA is correcting a final rule published on March 4, 2015 (80 FR 11537). In that rule, the FAA amended its maintenance regulations for domestic, flag, and supplemental operations, and for commuter and on-demand operations for aircraft type certificated with a passenger seating configuration of 10 seats or more (excluding any pilot seat). The FAA originally proposed to make the effective date of the rule one year after its publication date to give affected operators time to come into compliance with the new requirements, and to allow the FAA time to review information submitted by the operators under the rule. However, in the final rule, the FAA inadvertently overlooked the proposed one-year compliance time, and included an effective date of 60 days after publication. This document corrects the effective date of that document.
80 FR 19251 - Interpretation of the Flight Time Limitations
FR Doc. 2015-07991
Docket No. FAA-2015-0881
Notice of Proposed Interpretation
This action proposes to interpret our regulations to not apply to flight segments that are flown by a flightcrew consisting of only two pilots and no other flight crewmembers.
80 FR 11537 - Air Carrier Contract Maintenance Requirements
FR Doc. 2015-04179
Amdt. Nos. 121-371 and 135-132
Effective May 4, 2015 except for §§ 121.368 and 135.426 which contain information collection requirements that have not been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The FAA will publish a document in the Federal Register announcing the effective date.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) amends the maintenance regulations for domestic, flag, and supplemental operations, and for commuter and on-demand operations for aircraft type certificated with a passenger seating configuration of 10 seats or more (excluding any pilot seat). The new rules require affected air carriers and 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. The rules also require the air carriers and operators to provide a list to the FAA of all persons with whom they contract their maintenance. These changes are needed because contract maintenance has increased to over 70 percent of all air carrier maintenance, and numerous investigations have shown deficiencies in maintenance performed by contract maintenance providers. These rules will help ensure consistency between contract and in-house air carrier maintenance and enhance the oversight capabilities of both the air carriers and the FAA.
79 FR 72970 - Flightcrew Member Duty and Rest Requirements
FR Doc. 2014-28868
RIN 2120-AJ58
14 CFR Parts 117 and 121
The FAA is issuing a Final Supplemental Regulatory Impact Analysis (Final SRIA) of its final rule that amended its existing flight, duty and rest regulations applicable to certain certificate holders and their flightcrew members. A copy of the Final SRIA may be found in the docket for the rulemaking. The Final SRIA responds to comments that were made in response to the Initial Supplemental Regulatory Impact Analysis, and, where appropriate, incorporates new information provided by the commenters. In addition, the Final SRIA makes adjustments to the methodology used to estimate the costs and benefits of applying the final flight, duty, and rest rule to cargo-only operations, and includes additional sensitivity analyses. The results of the Final SRIA concludes that the base-case benefits of applying the flight, duty, and rest rule to cargo-only operations would be about $3 million, and the high-case benefits of doing so would be about $10 million. Conversely, the costs of applying the flight, duty, and rest rule to cargo-only operations would be about $452 million. Because the results of the analysis continue to indicate that the costs of mandating all-cargo operation compliance with the new flight, duty, and rest rule significantly outweigh the benefits, the FAA has determined that no revisions to the final rule are warranted.
79 FR 65360 - Advisory Circular for Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP)
FR Doc. 2014-26212
AC 120-66C
Notice of availability of proposed revision to Advisory Circular for Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP); Extension of comment period.
The comment period for the Notice of availability of proposed revision to Advisory Circular for Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) published on September 5, 2014, was scheduled to close on November 4, 2014, and is extended until January 5, 2015.
14 CFR Parts 121 and 145
This action extends the comment period for the Notice of availability of proposed revision to Advisory Circular for Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) that was published on September 5, 2014. In that document, the FAA proposed to clarify FAA policy, facilitate achievement of an ASAP&apos;s safety goals, and encourage wider participation in the program. Multiple industry groups have requested that the FAA extend the comment period closing date to allow time to prepare comments.
2014-09-19; vol. 79 # 182 - Friday, September 19, 2014
79 FR 56288 - Acceptance Criteria for Portable Oxygen Concentrators Used On Board Aircraft
FR Doc. 2014-21964
Notice No. 14-08
Send comments on or before November 18, 2014.
14 CFR Parts 1, 121, 125, and 135
This rulemaking would replace Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 106 with acceptance criteria for portable oxygen concentrators to be used by passengers in air carrier operations, commercial operations and certain other operations using large aircraft. Currently, the agency assesses each portable oxygen concentrator on a case-by-case basis to determine whether it is safe for use on board aircraft. If the agency determines that a portable oxygen concentrator is safe for use on board aircraft, the specific model is identified in regulations. This rulemaking would replace the burdensome approval process with acceptance criteria and a requirement for manufacturers to demonstrate compliance by affixing a label on the exterior of the portable oxygen concentrator applied in a manner that ensures it will remain affixed for the life of the device. The proposed acceptance criteria and labeling requirement would only affect portable oxygen concentrators intended for use on board aircraft. Portable oxygen concentrators currently approved for use on board aircraft would not be affected by this proposal and will be listed in this rule as approved. This rulemaking would also eliminate redundant requirements and paperwork requirements that are not necessary for aviation safety thereby reducing burdens for portable oxygen concentrator manufacturers, passengers who use portable oxygen concentrators while traveling, and aircraft operators conducting air carrier operations, commercial operations or certain operations using large aircraft.
79 FR 53008 - Advisory Circular for Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP)
FR Doc. 2014-21094
Notice of availability of proposed revision to Advisory Circular for Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP), request for comment.
Written comments must be received on or before November 4, 2014.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is announcing the availability of proposed Advisory Circular (AC) 120-66C. AC 120-66C provides guidance for establishing an air transportation Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP).
2014-06-04; vol. 79 # 107 - Wednesday, June 4, 2014
79 FR 32157 - Pilot Assigned as Second in Command; Legal Interpretation
FR Doc. 2014-12982
Docket No. FAA-2013-0944
On November 13, 2013, the FAA sought comment on a proposed legal interpretation intended to clarify the qualification requirements for the pilot assigned as second in command on a flight in part 121 operations that require three or more pilots and the pilot who provides relief to the assigned second in command during the en route cruise portion of the flight. On April 29, 2014, the FAA issued a legal interpretation on these issues. This legal interpretation is available on the agency&apos;s Web site and in the docket for the proposed legal interpretation.
79 FR 18212 - Disclosure of Seat Dimensions to Facilitate Use of Child Safety Seats on Airplanes During Passenger-Carrying Operations
FR Doc. 2014-07172
Notice No. 14-03
Send comments on or before June 30, 2014.
The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 requires the Federal Aviation Administration to initiate rulemaking to require air carriers conducting domestic, flag, and supplemental operations to make available on their Web sites information to enable passengers to determine which child safety seats can be used on aircraft in these operations. To fulfill the requirements of the Act, the FAA proposes to require air carriers to make available on their Web sites the width of the widest passenger seat in each class of service for each make, model and series of airplane used in passenger-carrying operations. If finalized as proposed, this rule would provide greater information to caregivers to help them determine whether a particular child restraint system will fit in an airplane seat. This proposal does not affect existing regulations regarding the use of child restraint systems on board airplanes or a passenger under the age of 2 traveling onboard aircraft with or without the use of a child restraint system.
79 FR 8257 - Prohibition on Personal Use of Electronic Devices on the Flight Deck
FR Doc. 2014-02991
79 FR 6078 - Use of Additional Portable Oxygen Concentrators on Board Aircraft
FR Doc. 2014-02121
RIN 2120-AK35
Docket No. FAA-2013-1013
Amdt. No. 121-367
Effective February 18, 2014.
This action amends the FAA&apos;s rules for permitting use of portable oxygen concentrator (POC) devices on board aircraft, provided certain conditions in the SFAR are met. This action is necessary to allow all POC devices deemed acceptable by the FAA for use in air commerce to be available to the traveling public in need of oxygen therapy. Passengers will be able to carry these devices on board the aircraft and use them with the approval of the aircraft operator.
FR Doc. 2014-02123
RIN 2120-AK11
Docket No. FAA-2012-1059
Amdts. No.: 121-368, 125-63, 135-128
14 CFR Parts 121, 125, and 135
This rulemaking amends and harmonizes minimum altitudes for use of autopilots for transport category airplanes; it also enables the operational use of advanced autopilot and navigation systems by incorporating the capabilities of current and future autopilots, flight guidance systems, and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) guidance systems while protecting the continued use of legacy systems at current autopilot minimum use altitudes. Additionally, this final rule implements a performance-based approach, using the certified capabilities of autopilot systems as established by the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) or as approved by the Administrator.
79 FR 2088 - Flight Data Recorder Airplane Parameter Specification Omissions and Corrections
FR Doc. 2014-00383
RIN 2120-AK27
Docket No. FAA-2013-0579
14 CFR Parts 91, 121, and 125
On December 31, 2012, the FAA published a final rule with a request for comments amending the operating regulations for flight data recorders by correcting errors in recording rates in three different appendices. These errors created requirements that could not be met by certain airplanes without extensive modification, which was not intended when the requirements were adopted. The corrected recording rates are as intended when the applicable flight data recorder parameter requirements were adopted, but which had been omitted from the then current publication of the regulatory text.
78 FR 69287 - Flightcrew Member Duty and Rest Requirements; Technical Correction
FR Doc. 2013-27539
Amdt. Nos. 117-1, 119-16, 121-357
Effective January 4, 2014.
The FAA is correcting the final flightcrew member duty and rest rule published on January 4, 2012. In that rule, the FAA amended its existing flight, duty and rest regulations applicable to certificate holders and their flightcrew members operating certain domestic, flag, and supplemental operations. This document corrects several issues requiring a technical correction in the codified text of the final flightcrew member duty and rest rule.
78 FR 67983 - Proposed Legal Interpretation
FR Doc. 2013-26919
Proposed legal interpretation.
Comments must be received on or before January 13, 2014.
The FAA is proposing to clarify the qualification requirements for the pilot assigned as second in command on a flight in part 121 operations that requires three or more pilots and the pilot who provides relief to the assigned second in command during the en route cruise portion of the flight.
78 FR 67800 - Qualification, Service, and Use of Crewmembers and Aircraft Dispatchers
FR Doc. 2013-26845
RIN 2120-AJ00
Amdt. No. 121-366
Effective March 12, 2014.
This final rule revises the training requirements for pilots in air carrier operations. The regulations enhance air carrier pilot training programs by emphasizing the development of pilots&apos; manual handling skills and adding safety-critical tasks such as recovery from stall and upset. The final rule also requires enhanced runway safety training and pilot monitoring training to be incorporated into existing requirements for scenario-based flight training and requires air carriers to implement remedial training programs for pilots. The FAA expects these changes to contribute to a reduction in aviation accidents. Additionally, the final rule revises recordkeeping requirements for communications between the flightcrew and dispatch; ensures that personnel identified as flight attendants have completed flight attendant training and qualification requirements; provides civil enforcement authority for making fraudulent statements; and, provides a number of conforming and technical changes to existing air carrier crewmember training and qualification requirements. The final rule also includes provisions that provide opportunities for air carriers to modify training program requirements for flightcrew members when the air carrier operates multiple aircraft types with similar design and flight handling characteristics.
