The Federal Aviation Administration’s recent issuance of the final draft of its Special Federal Aviation Regulation for powered lift aircraft regulations has drawn comment and positive reactions from across the industry.
According to the press release, the FAA “…today issued a final rule for the qualifications and training that instructors and pilots must have to fly aircraft in this “powered-lift” category, which have characteristics of both airplanes and helicopters.” The new rule also clarifies their operational requirements, including minimum safe altitudes and required visibility.
While industry insiders say that the ruling still leaves some questions unanswered, the issuance of the rule represents a significant milestone in the development of the AAM industry.
