DATES:
Background
The primary goal of this proposed
advisory circular is to provide training,
testing, and checking recommendations
designed to maximize the likelihood
that pilots will respond correctly and
consistently to unexpected stall
warnings, aerodynamic stalls, and/or
stick pusher activations. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:11 Dec 12, 2011
Jkt 226001
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.
Additional Information

guidance material by submitting written

the docket does not contain duplicate
comments, commenters should send

if comments are filed electronically,
commenters should submit only one

The FAA will file in the docket all

consider all comments it receives on or
before the closing date for comments.
The FAA will consider comments filed
after the comment period has closed if
it is possible to do so without incurring
expense or delay. The agency may
change this guidance material in light of
the comments it receives.

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.
