| Title: ●Minimum Altitudes for Use of Autopilots (RRR) | |
| Abstract: This rulemaking would modify the way pilots operate an aircraft´s autopilot capabilities during flight. This action is necessary because evolving aircraft technologies have outpaced current FAA´s operational guidance for use of autopilots. The intended effect of this rulemaking is to allow movement of aircraft in safer and more efficient flight patterns, resulting in operator efficiency, while smoothly incorporating ever-increasing related technological changes. | |
