Petitions for Rulemaking

Docket No.: 28678
Petitioner: Independent Pilots Association
Regulations Affected: 14 CFR 121.356
Description of Rulechange Sought: To require Traffic Alert and 
collision Avoidance System II on all transport category airplanes flown 
in all-cargo part 121 operations, not just those airplanes with more 
than 30 passenger seats. The petitioner feels that such change would 
significantly enhance aviation safety by reducing the risk of cargo 
planes colliding with each other and with passenger aircraft operating 
in the same airspace.

Docket No.: 28712
Petitioner: Independent Pilots Association
Regulations Affected: 14 CFR 25.810 and 121.310
Description of Rulechange Sought: To require automatically deployable 
exit slides or their equivalent at the crew entry door for transport 
category airplanes manufactured for or flown in all-cargo operations, 
and to eliminate the acceptability of providing only ropes at any 
emergency exit. The petitioner feels that such change would provide a 
level of safety for cargo-only flightcrew that is consistent with that 
available for passenger, supernumeraries, and flight crew on passenger 
carrying aircraft.
