Federal Aviation Administration April 16, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Special Conditions: Airbus Model A330 Series Airplanes; Seats With Inertia Locking Devices
Document Number: 2019-07516
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2019-04-16
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes special conditions for Airbus Model A330 series airplanes. These airplanes will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport-category airplanes. This design feature is seats with inertia locking devices. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These proposed special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools
Document Number: 2019-06399
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2019-04-16
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
On October 2, 2015, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing to amend the regulations governing the curriculum and operations of FAA-certificated Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools. Commenters suggested expanding the scope of that proposal to allow competency-based training and satellite training locations and to eliminate the national passing norms specified in the quality of instruction requirements. After analyzing the comments, the FAA agrees with expanding the scope of the proposal. The FAA is proposing to allow the option of competency-based training and satellite training locations. Additionally, the FAA is proposing to amend the quality of instruction requirements by replacing the national passing norms with a standard pass rate.
