Additionally, VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:11 Dec 12, 2011 Jkt 226001 the advisory circular provides guidance for operators and training centers in the development of stall and stick pusher event training to include stall prevention, recognition of an approachto-stall or actual stall, familiarity with stick pusher systems, and the correct procedure to recover from those conditions. Core principals of this Advisory Circular include: • Emphasis of ‘‘reduce angle of attack’’ response as the primary response for stall events. • Clarification of the evaluation criteria for a recovery from a stall or approach. • Scenario-based training that includes realistic events that could be encountered in operational conditions, including stalls encountered with the autopilot engaged. • Clarification of training to a full stall, to ensure that pilots execute the stall recovery at the first indication of a stall. • Stick Pusher demonstration training. The information within this proposed advisory circular was developed based on a review of recommended practices developed by major aircraft manufacturers, labor organizations, air carriers, training organizations, simulator manufacturers, and industry representative organizations. The FAA recognizes that the content of this draft AC explains in further detail concepts proposed in the supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM), entitled Qualification, Service, and Use of Crewmembers and Aircraft Dispatchers, FAA Docket FAA–2008–0677, and corresponding flightcrew member training AC, regarding stall and stick pusher training. Following review of the comments regarding the stall and stick pusher training proposed in the SNPRM, this advisory circular may require additional revision. The FAA will review both the comments received in response to this advisory circular and the SNPRM, and revise the documents accordingly to ensure consistency and standardization. The agency will consider all comments received by January 12, 2012. Comments received after that date may be considered if consideration will not delay agency action on the review. A copy of the advisory circular is available for review in the assigned docket for the advisory circular at https:// www.regulations.gov.

Background

    On November 8, 2011, the FAA published Clarification of Policy 
Regarding Designated Aircraft Dispatcher Examiners (76 FR 69171, 
69172). The comment period closed on December 8, 2011.
    In a letter dated November 18, 2011, Sheffield School of 
Aeronautics requested a five month extension of the comment period to 
allow the part 65 dispatcher certification course operators, which 
often are small businesses with limited resources, sufficient time to 
review and comment on the guidance material. While the FAA concurs with 
the petitioners' requests for an extension of the comment period, it 
does not support a five month extension as requested by the petitioner. 
The FAA finds that providing an additional 60 days is sufficient to 
provide meaningful comment.
    The FAA does not anticipate any further extension of the comment 
period for this guidance material.

Extension of Comment Period

    In accordance with 14 CFR 11.47(c), the FAA has reviewed the 
request for extension of the comment period to the proposed guidance 
material. The petitioner has shown a substantive interest in the 
guidance material and good cause for the extension. The FAA has 
determined that extension of the comment period is consistent with the 
public interest, and that good cause exists for taking this action.
    Accordingly, the comment period is reopened and extended until 
February 8, 2012.
