Title: ●Revise Airplane Definition to Incorporate Powered-lift Operations
Abstract: This rulemaking would remove reference to the term powered-lift and designate applicability of current airplane operating regulations for aircraft formerly referred to as powered-lift category aircraft. This action is necessary to resolve discrepancies within the regulations, where powered-lift had been introduced in airmen regulations but not introduced for any of the associated operating regulations. This discrepancy is a barrier to the introduction of these types of aircraft into commercial service within the national airspace system (NAS). In addition, this action will also enable a path forward to airmen certification for the introduction of the first civilian twin-engine tiltrotor vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft entering into commercial passenger carrying service.
