Looking Forward to Year 5

Flight Path Management Workgroup

• Recommendations on guidance for training

information automation systems and energy

management

Air Carrier & Contract Training Workgroup

• Support of Standardized Curriculum

Concept Implementation

15


Looking Forward to Year 5

Part 121 Data Analysis Action Team

• Explore the availability, aggregation, and utilization of

data to analyze the connection between pilot

background to experience and qualification via

performance in part 121 training programs

Effectiveness of Training Delivery Media

• New workgroup to examine recommendations and

guidance for development, continual assessment, and

improvement of Distant Education (DE) Methods.

16


Conclusion

• The ACT ARC continues to serve as a valuable

interface between FAA and industry to address

emerging risks and increase safety.

• There is a high-level of voluntary contribution by

industry.

• The FAA is working to implement ACT ARC

recommendations for Flight Path Management,

Contract Training, and Crew resource management

(CRM) guidance enhancements.

17


Pilot Professional Development

• Background– Statement of the Problem

– Airline Safety and Federal Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2010

(Public Law 111-216)

– Flight Crewmember Mentoring, Leadership, and Professional Development

Aviation Rulemaking Committee (MLP ARC)

– Related Rulemakings

• NPRM– Summary of Proposed Training Provisions

• Timeline

18


Statement of the Problem

• Overall safety and reliability of the National

Airspace System demonstrates most pilots operate

with high degree of professionalism.

• In multiple accidents and incidents, NTSB cites the

following factors:

– Inadequate leadership in the flight deck,

– Unprofessional pilot behavior, and

– Pilots’ failure to comply with the sterile flight deck rule.

• Examples - Colgan Air flight 3407 and Pinnacle

Airlines flight 3701, Eastern Airlines 3452

19


Public Law 111-216, Section 206

• Convene ARC to develop procedures for part 121 air

carriers:– Establish mentoring program for newly employed flightcrew members (mentor pilots

should be provided specific training)

– Establish flightcrew member professional development committee made up of air

carrier management and labor union to develop, administer, and oversee mentoring

program

– Establish or modify training programs to accommodate different levels and types of

flight experience for newly employed flightcrew members

– Establish or modify training programs for first time PICs in specific aircraft type

(include leadership and command training)

– Ensure PIC recurrent training includes leadership and command training

– Other actions ARC determines appropriate to enhance flightcrew member professional

development

• Issue NPRM and final rule based on ARC

recommendations

20


MLP ARC

• Established September 2010

• Members

– Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), Airlines for America

(A4A), Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations (CAPA),

National Air Carrier Association (NACA), National

Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI), Regional

Airline Association (RAA), and the University Aviation

Association (UAA).

• Report completed November 2010

• NACA filed dissenting report

21


Related Rulemakings

• Pilot Certification and Qualification Requirements for

Air Carrier Operations final rule (2013)

• Qualification, Service, and Use of Crewmembers and

Aircraft Dispatchers final rule (2013)

• Flight Simulation Training Device Qualification

Standards for Extended Envelope and Adverse Weather

Event Training Tasks final rule (2016)

22


Summary of Proposed Training Provisions

• Upgrade training curriculum requirements

– Leadership and command (L&C) and mentoring training are required

subjects for upgrade ground training.

– L&C training must be incorporated into flight training through

scenario-based training.

– Updated upgrade ground and flight training requirements based on

the qualification and experience that all upgrading pilots now have as

a result of the Pilot Certification and Qualification Requirements for

Air Carrier Operations rule.

23


Summary of Proposed Training Provisions –

cont.• Mentoring, L&C ground training for current pilots in

command (PIC)

– All pilots currently serving as PIC must complete ground training on

L&C and mentoring.

– The Administrator may credit previous training completed by the

pilot at that air carrier.

• Recurrent PIC mentoring, L&C training

– PICs must complete recurrent L&C and mentoring ground training

every 36 months.

– Recurrent Line-Oriented Flight Training (LOFT) must provide an

opportunity for PICs to demonstrate L&C.

24


Timeline

• Comment period closed January 5, 2017

• FAA completed the final rule and submitted it

to the Office of the Secretary of Transportation

(OST) on March 8, 2018

• OST completed review and submitted the final

rule to the Office of Information and

Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) on October 1, 2018

• Currently awaiting OIRA decision

• If OIRA approves, publication of final rule– Proposed effective date – 60 days after publication

– Proposed compliance date – 24 months after effective date

25


Additional Information

• All documents are available in the docket

including the NPRM, comments, draft ACs, ARC

reports and research material that was

referenced in the NPRM.

• Docket Number FAA-2014-0504

Recognition of Pilot in Command Experience in

the Military and in Part 121 Air Carrier

Operations

• Proposed to provide relief to military pilots

of powered-lift aircraft seeking to obtain an

ATP certificate in the airplane category.

• Proposed to allow credit for part 121 PIC

time prior to July 2013 to count towards air

carrier experience.

• Final rule anticipated July 2019

• https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgenda

https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201804&RIN=2120-AL03


Air Carrier Definitions

• Proposed action would enable air carrier

operation in aircraft other than airplanes

and helicopters by broading the definitions

in part 110 and the appropriate sections of

part 119 that define management personnel

and direct certain air carrier operations to

their appropriate operational rule part for

compliance.

• NPRM anticipated July 2019

• https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgenda

ViewRule?pubId=201810&RIN=2120-AL21

28


135 UAS Operations

• FAA issued its first part 135 air carrier

certificate to Wing Aviation for small UA

package delivery in April 2019. Wing is part of a

larger DOT initiative called the Integration Pilot

Program (IPP), which is geared towards

integrating UAS operations into the NAS while

also enabling the FAA to collect data and learn

from these operations to inform future

rulemaking and policy decisions.
