Description

The FAA proposes a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) for alternate eligibility requirements to certificate initial groups of powered-lift pilots, as well as determine which operating rules apply to powered-lift on a temporary basis. This SFAR will enable the agency to gather information for the most appropriate permanent rulemaking path for these aircraft. Currently, general and commercial operating regulations do not contemplate the operation of powered-lift. This action also proposes changes to practical tests in aircraft that require type ratings, training center rotorcraft instructor eligibility, training, and testing requirements, and training center use of rotorcraft in flight instruction. Comments are due by Aug. 14, 2023.
