NTSB Issues Recommendation A-14-097 to FAA Regarding SFAR No. 108

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued Recommendation A-14-097, identified by reference number CEN14FA046, addressed directly to the Federal Aviation Administration. This directive urges the agency to separate the flight training profiles contained within Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 108 from the regulation itself. The primary objective of this recommendation is to establish a more agile regulatory framework that allows for necessary updates to these training profiles without requiring the full rulemaking process. By decoupling these technical standards from the formal regulation, the NTSB aims to streamline administrative procedures and ensure that flight training requirements can be adjusted efficiently in response to evolving safety needs or operational data.
