Petitions For Rulemaking

Docket No.: 28050
Petitioner: Mr. Richard D. Henry
Regulations Affected: 14 CFR 121.305(f)
Description of Rulechange Sought: To delete paragraph (f) of 
Sec. 121.305 and replace it with a new paragraph (f), to read as 
follows: A gyroscopic rate of turn indicator combined with an integral 
slip-skid indicator (turn and bank indicator).
Petitioner's Reason for the Request: The petitioner feels that such a 
change reflects several things: Graveyard spirals, spins, rolls, and 
split ``S'' upsets continue to plague the industry; reliable means for 
the stopping of the turn is essential; turn needle is still the most 
trustworthy gyro to guarantee that the turn is stopped; new laser 
gyro's on occasion do tumble, notwithstanding the fact that they are 
rate gyro driven; turn needle is the only gyro that is sage for use 
following an in-flight power restoration during dynamic gravity 
influence, the only one to guarantee proper erection.

Docket No.: 28111
Petitioner: Mr. Alankar Gupta
Sections of the FAR Affected: 14 CFR parts 121 and 135
Description of Rulechange Sought: To prevent any person from 
transporting, storing, displaying, or using, on the flight deck, any 
visual or audible material that is unnecessary for safe operation of 
the airplane or is offensive to any crewmember.
Petitioner's Reason for the Request: The petitioner feels that such 
material has caused a number of instances of unpleasant, tense, 
stressful, or confusing situations within the cockpits aboard 
commercial aircraft. Such conditions can lead to reduced crew 
performance capabilities. Also, tense, stressful, unpleasant, or 
bewildering conditions can cause the crew to respond slowly (or 
wrongly) during emergency situations. This can lead to accidents.

Dispositions of Petitions

Docket No.: 25063
Petitioner: Air Line Pilots Association
Sections of FAR Affected: 14 FR 121.437
Description of Rulechange Sought: To increase the basic flight time and 
experience requirements for persons acting as pilots in command of air 
carrier aircraft having a passenger seating capacity, excluding any 
pilot seat, of more than 30 seats or a payload capacity of more than 
7500 pounds. It would also increase the basic flight time and 
experience requirements of persons acting as second in command of large 
aircraft or turbojet-powered multiengine aircraft type certificated for 
more than one required flight crewmember.
Petitioner's Reason for the Request: The petitioner feels that because 
of the growing complexity and changes in operations within commercial 
aviation a continually escalating need for new pilots has meant rapid 
pilot progression from the position of second in command to pilot in 
command.
