Disposition of Petitions

Docket No.: 26158
Petitioner: Everett W. Morris
Sections of the FAR Affected: 14 CFR 121
Description of Rulechange Sought: To add a new section that would 
require that each large turbine-powered airplane be equipped with a 
takeoff warning system that meets the requirements of 14 CFR 
Sec. 25.703.
Petitioner's Reason for the Request: The petitioner feels amending the 
operating rule can provide an earlier required compliance date, thus 
reducing the probability of future accidents caused by improper 
configuration of the airplane. Denial; November 15, 1996

Docket No.: 27371
Petitioner: Homeowners of Encino
Sections of the FAR Affected: 14 CFR 91.119(d)
Description of Rulechange Sought: To limit helicopter operations below 
the minimum altitudes prescribed in Sec. 91/119 (b) and (c) except for 
helicopters operated by any municipal, county, State, or Federal 
authority for emergency services, rescue operations, or police or fire 
protection.
Petitioner's Reason for the Request: The petitioner feels that the 
petition for reconsideration of a previous denial of petition for 
rulemaking was justified in that the FAA failed to make a reasonable 
determination of the facts and issues in the original petition for 
rulemaking. Denial; October 31, 1996

Docket No.: 27803
Petitioner: Air Transportation Association of America
Sections of the FAR Affected: 14 CFR 121, 135, and 145
Description of Rulechange Sought: To establish regulations requiring 
quality/inspection systems for all aircraft parts distributors, 
suppliers, sellers, brokers, and surplus dealers.
Petitioner's Reason for the Request: The petitioner feels that it is 
imperative that every step possible be taken to ensure no opportunity 
is available to introduce an unapproved part into the parts 
distribution/supply system and there must be regulations which help 
deter and remove unethical organizations from the aircraft parts 
business. Denial; November 25, 1996.
