The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), âPublic Aircraft Logging of Flight Time, Training in Certain Aircraft Holding Special Airworthiness Certificates, and Flight Instructor Privilegesâ proposes to terminate all active letters of deviation authority (LODAs) for training operations for compensation in experimental aircraft within two years of the effective date of the final rule. The FAA expects operators of experimental aircraft with active LODAs who broadly offer their aircraft for training to re-apply for a LODA under the proposed § 91.326(b) of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) within this time period. The FAA is proposing to terminate current LODAs in order to ensure that all operators are in compliance with the proposed requirements.
The proposed rule creates § 91.326(b) which establishes unified requirements for operators who broadly offer certain aircraft with special airworthiness certificates for flight training, testing, or checking to obtain prior approval from the FAA in the form of a LODA. Through the LODA process, the FAA provides oversight of operators who âhold outâ certain aircraft with special airworthiness certificates for elective and specialized flight training, testing, and checking. The advisory circular published concurrently with this proposed rule provides guidance, sample documentation, and training materials to fulfill Recommendation A-12-035 of the National Transportation Safety Board. The FAA expects that the proposed § 91.326(c) and advisory circular will ensure consistency and clarify the application process, thereby making it easier for potential applicants to understand requirements and submit a successful application.
The FAA proposes to terminate all active LODAs for training operations for compensation in experimental aircraft within two years of the effective date of the final rule. The FAA expects operators of experimental aircraft with active LODAs who broadly offer their aircraft for training to re-apply for a LODA under the proposed § 91.326(b) within this time period. The FAA currently issues LODAs without expiration dates for eligible operators who broadly offer their aircraft for training. The FAA is proposing to terminate current LODAs in order to ensure that all operators are in compliance with the proposed requirements.
