DOT/FAA RIN: 2120-AF07 Publication ID: Spring 2003 
Title: National Air Tour Safety Standards 
Abstract: FAA will propose new regulations for air tour and sightseeing operations that are currently allowed to operate under less stringent regulations than those applied to other types of commercial operations. Over the past decade the number of these operations and the number of accidents and incidents associated with these operations have increased. Hot air balloons and gliders would not be included in this amendment. This rulemaking is considered significant because of substantial public interest.
