The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM), “Public Aircraft Logging of Flight Time, Training in
Certain Aircraft Holding Special Airworthiness Certificates, and
Flight Instructor Privileges” proposes to terminate all active
letters of deviation authority (LODAs) for training operations for
compensation in experimental aircraft within two years of the
effective date of the final rule. The FAA expects operators of
experimental aircraft with active LODAs who broadly offer their
aircraft for training to re-apply for a LODA under the proposed §
91.326(b) of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
within this time period. The FAA is proposing to terminate current
LODAs in order to ensure that all operators are in compliance with
the proposed requirements.
US Code:
49
USC 44701 Name of Law: General requirements
The proposed rule creates §
91.326(b) which establishes unified requirements for operators who
broadly offer certain aircraft with special airworthiness
certificates for flight training, testing, or checking to obtain
prior approval from the FAA in the form of a LODA. Through the LODA
process, the FAA provides oversight of operators who “hold out”
certain aircraft with special airworthiness certificates for
elective and specialized flight training, testing, and checking.
The advisory circular published concurrently with this proposed
rule provides guidance, sample documentation, and training
materials to fulfill Recommendation A-12-035 of the National
Transportation Safety Board. The FAA expects that the proposed §
91.326(c) and advisory circular will ensure consistency and clarify
the application process, thereby making it easier for potential
applicants to understand requirements and submit a successful
application. The FAA proposes to terminate all active LODAs for
training operations for compensation in experimental aircraft
within two years of the effective date of the final rule. The FAA
expects operators of experimental aircraft with active LODAs who
broadly offer their aircraft for training to re-apply for a LODA
under the proposed § 91.326(b) within this time period. The FAA
currently issues LODAs without expiration dates for eligible
operators who broadly offer their aircraft for training. The FAA is
proposing to terminate current LODAs in order to ensure that all
operators are in compliance with the proposed requirements.
