This Order specifies what actions need to be taken by the FAA to attempt to locate the legal holder of the TC prior to such a determination.The FAA is requesting information on the current holders of the Type Certificates and/or Supplemental Type Certificates listed below, prior to making a determination that these Certificates have been abandoned.
