Description

This AC describes how powered-lift will comply with specific regulations in 14 CFR parts 43, 91, 91 subpart K (part 91K), 97, 135, and 136. This AC does not provide compliance options for every regulation addressed in 14 CFR part 194, as several do not require additional information. Instead, this AC provides clarification for specified regulations within Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) 120, Powered-Lift: Pilot Certification and Training; Operations Requirements, to ensure powered-lift operate safely. This AC can be used to help in understanding some of the part 194 regulations and will remain in effect until permanent rules for powered-lift are developed.
