One Time Re-Application for Letter of Deviation Authority (LODA) for Experimental Aircraft Broadly Offered For Training, Testing or Checking under Part 91

This paperwork burden directly supports the Department of Transportation Strategic Goal on Safety. Specifically, the goal is to promote the public health and safety by working toward the elimination of transportation related deaths, injuries, and property damage. The LODA requirements under § 91.326(b) are similar to the current LODA requirements under § 91.319(h) for operators of certain experimental aircraft who broadly offer their aircraft for training, testing, or checking. In the “Public Aircraft Logging of Flight Time, Training in Certain Aircraft Holding Special Airworthiness Certificates, and Flight Instructor Privileges” final rule, the FAA will terminate current training LODAs issued under 91.319(h) within two years of the effective date of a final rule. To ensure that all operations in which an aircraft with a special airworthiness certificate is “held out” for training, testing, or checking comply with the proposed requirements, holders of current exemptions and LODAs permitting these training operations will need to apply for a LODA under the revised § 91.326(b).
