Petitions for Rulemaking
Docket No.: 27532.
Petitioner: Air Transport Association.
Regulations Affected: 14 CFR 121.343(c).
Description of Rulechange Sought: To allow operators to complete a
phased compliance schedule for installation of the 11-parameter digital
flight data recorders (DFDR) on aircraft between December 31, 1994, and
December 31, 1999, and eliminate the need to make costly DFDR retrofit
to aircraft that will not be in the U.S. airline inventory at the end
of the decade.
Petitioner's Reason for the Request: The petitioner feels that this
amendment will save ATA operators alone $23,700,000; retrofit
installation is not supported via an aircraft manufacturer service
bulletin, since the majority of aircraft models affected by the rule
are out of production; and any enhancement to the collection of flight
history data may be of minimal benefit for the airplanes that are to be
retired between 1994 and 1999.
