The FAR Part 135 Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) delivered a long-awaited briefing on its research and a preview of the coming notice of proposed rulemaking. The committee’s two-year charter comes to a close this month, and the committee met for the last time in late February. Kathy Perfetti, the FAA’s national resource specialist for Part 135 operators, said there is still time for interested parties to contact the committee through NATA and voice opinions that could change the draft that the ARC will deliver to the FAA. She said, “We ended up with three or four three-inch volumes.”
Once it receives the draft from the ARC, the FAA will form internal work teams covering the myriad categories addressed in the draft. The committee recommends teams be assigned to the following issues related to Part 135: applicability, operations, training, airworthiness, equipment and technical issues, rotorcraft, aeromedical and airships.
