Petitions For Rulemaking
Docket No.: 28050
Petitioner: Mr. Richard D. Henry
Regulations Affected: 14 CFR 121.305(f)
Description of Rulechange Sought: To delete paragraph (f) of
Sec. 121.305 and replace it with a new paragraph (f), to read as
follows: A gyroscopic rate of turn indicator combined with an integral
slip-skid indicator (turn and bank indicator).
Petitioner's Reason for the Request: The petitioner feels that such a
change reflects several things: Graveyard spirals, spins, rolls, and
split ``S'' upsets continue to plague the industry; reliable means for
the stopping of the turn is essential; turn needle is still the most
trustworthy gyro to guarantee that the turn is stopped; new laser
gyro's on occasion do tumble, notwithstanding the fact that they are
rate gyro driven; turn needle is the only gyro that is sage for use
following an in-flight power restoration during dynamic gravity
influence, the only one to guarantee proper erection.
Docket No.: 28111
Petitioner: Mr. Alankar Gupta
Sections of the FAR Affected: 14 CFR parts 121 and 135
Description of Rulechange Sought: To prevent any person from
transporting, storing, displaying, or using, on the flight deck, any
visual or audible material that is unnecessary for safe operation of
the airplane or is offensive to any crewmember.
Petitioner's Reason for the Request: The petitioner feels that such
material has caused a number of instances of unpleasant, tense,
stressful, or confusing situations within the cockpits aboard
commercial aircraft. Such conditions can lead to reduced crew
performance capabilities. Also, tense, stressful, unpleasant, or
bewildering conditions can cause the crew to respond slowly (or
wrongly) during emergency situations. This can lead to accidents.
Dispositions of Petitions
Docket No.: 25063
Petitioner: Air Line Pilots Association
Sections of FAR Affected: 14 FR 121.437
Description of Rulechange Sought: To increase the basic flight time and
experience requirements for persons acting as pilots in command of air
carrier aircraft having a passenger seating capacity, excluding any
pilot seat, of more than 30 seats or a payload capacity of more than
7500 pounds. It would also increase the basic flight time and
experience requirements of persons acting as second in command of large
aircraft or turbojet-powered multiengine aircraft type certificated for
more than one required flight crewmember.
Petitioner's Reason for the Request: The petitioner feels that because
of the growing complexity and changes in operations within commercial
aviation a continually escalating need for new pilots has meant rapid
pilot progression from the position of second in command to pilot in
command.
Denial, March 22, 1995.
