FAA AIR-600-DM19 Deviation to Order 8000.71, Aircraft Make, Model, and Series, Relating to the Replacement of “Hybrid Lift” With the Term “Powered-Lift” for Examples of Aircraft Category

This deviation memorandum updates FAA Order 8000.71 to replace the term and
definition for “hybrid lift” with “powered-lift,” as one of the examples of aircraft
category. The term “powered-lift” is defined in § 1.1 of title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) and has not been prohibited from FAA use with regards to the order
which states, in paragraph 5.i. Applicability, “Where definitions are already present in
FAA regulations (for terms such as ‘aircraft,’ ‘type,’ or ‘type certificate’), the regulatory
definitions will take precedent.”
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has since adopted the term and
definition of “powered-lift,” which fully aligns with the FAA definition. Therefore, any
usage of the “hybrid lift” term is now outdated for international agreement
