Title: SFAR-108 MU-2 Aircraft Training Requirements Update (SFAR 108 Update)
Abstract: This rulemaking would relocate and update the content of SFAR No. 108 to the newly created subpart N of part 91 in order to improve the safety of operating the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) MU-2B series airplane. SFAR No. 108 will be eliminated from the Code of Federal Regulations on [DATE 14 MONTHS AFTER PUBLICATION] after which time all MU-2B operators must comply with this subpart. The FAA is relocating the training program from the SFAR No. 108 appendices to advisory material in order to allow the FAA to update policy while ensuring significant training adjustments still go through notice-and-comment rulemaking. The FAA is also correcting and updating several inaccurate maneuver profiles to reflect current FAA training philosophy and adding new FAA published procedures not previously part of the MU-2B training under SFAR No. 108. As a result of moving the prescriptive training requirements to advisory material, this rule will require all MU-2B training programs to meet the performance standards of this subpart and to be approved by the FAA to ensure safety is maintained. As a result of this action, operators, training providers, and safety officials will have more timely access to standardized, accurate training material.
