NPRM Posted In The Federal Register With Request For Comments
The FAA has posted a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) in the Federal Register for Advisory Circulars (AC) 120-UPRT and 120-109A. AC 120-UPRT provides recommended practices and guidance for academic and flight simulation training device (FSTD) training for pilots to prevent developing upset conditions and ensure correct and consistent recovery responses to upsets. AC 120-109A provides guidance and best practices for training, testing, and checking for pilots to ensure correct responses to impending and full stalls.
According to the NPRM, the primary goal of the proposed Advisory Circular 120-UPRT is to provide recommended practices and guidance for academic and flight simulation training device (FSTD) training for pilots to prevent developing upset conditions and ensure correct and consistent recovery responses to upsets.
Proposed Advisory Circular 120-109A would provide guidance and best practices for training, testing, and checking for pilots to ensure correct responses to impending and full stalls. Both ACs were developed based on a review of recommended practices developed by major airplane manufacturers, labor organizations, air carriers, training organizations, simulator manufacturers, and industry representative organizations.
The agency will consider all comments received by May 12, 2014. Comments received after that date may be considered if consideration will not delay agency action on the review.
