Federal Aviation Administration August 21, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), along with Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), will hold two informational meetings to discuss the interpretations, applications, and harmonization of the Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Sec. 21.101, derived advisory circular (AC) 21.101, Establishing the Certification Basis of Changed Aeronautical Products (a.k.a. Change Product Rule (CPR)).

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a proposal to change a portion of the airport from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the release of 17.79 acres of airport property for non-aeronautical development. The land consists of portions of 7 original airport acquired parcels. These parcels were acquired under grants: 6-18-0038-01; 3-18-0038-45; and 3-180038-47 or without federal participation. The land currently has three empty office buildings previously used by air carriers. The future use of the property is for nonaviation office development.

This notice announces the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB's) approval of the information collection requirement contained in the FAA's final rule, ``Revisions to Digital Flight Data Recorder Regulations for Boeing 737 Airplanes and for All Part 125 Airplanes.'' That final rule was published on December 2, 2008.

This final rule revises the training, qualification, certification, and operating requirements for pilots, flight instructors, ground instructors, and pilot schools. These changes are needed to clarify, update, and correct our existing regulations. These changes are intended to update and clarify the training and qualifications rules for pilots, flight instructors, ground instructors, and pilot schools to ensure a better understanding of these rules that relate to aircraft operations in the National Airspace System.
