Abstract: The collection of information is used to ensure compliance with subpart N of part 91. The information will also create written documentation establishing a base month for an annual training requirement. In addition, a recommended MU-2B training program has been published by the FAA as Appendix A to Advisory Circular 91-89. The recommended training program is an acceptable means of compliance with subpart N of part 91. Part 91 training providers are required to submit a proposed MU-2B training program to their local jurisdictional Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) for approval, which includes curriculum and syllabus. The information will be used by the FAA to ensure compliance with subpart N of part 91 and promote safety in air commerce. This information collection is mandatory for those entities and persons that wish to operate MU-2 aircraft. The collection consists of recordkeeping and reporting. It is mandatory for training providers to submit their training programs to the FAA every two years and for pilots to obtain logbook endorsements every year.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The number of aircraft and pilots is lower than in the last submission, due to attrition. The hourly burden is correspondingly lower. Moreover, in the previous submission, the number of training provider responses was over-counted; this has been corrected. The title of this collection has changed from “SFAR- Mitsubishi MU-2B Series Airplane Special Training, Experience, and Operating Procedures” to “Mitsubishi MU-2B Series Airplane Training Requirements”, in order to remove reference to SFAR, which was removed in 2016, and to more accurately reflect the components of the collection. The agency has separated collection activity into appropriate information collections; there have not been additional forms or applications added.
