While the FAA did rescind Notice N8000.336 regarding addition of airplanes to Part 135 certificates, late last year it reissued the policy in a new notice, with only one change. Like N8000.336, Notice N8000.343 requires FAA principal inspectors to obtain concurrence from FAA headquarters before allowing an operator to add a new turbine-powered airplane to its OpSpecs.

The change in N8000.343 is an exemption for “newly manufactured airplanes delivered directly to the certificate holder.” Nevertheless, the procedure could slow the addition of airplanes to OpSpecs, according to National Air Transportation Association (NATA) manager of regulatory affairs Lindsey McFarren.
