Docket No. FAA-2018-0243, 83 FR 12856 (March 26, 2018) (“the Order”), which prohibits the

Correct use of FAA-approved SPRSs during flight meets this requirement. The Order became
effective immediately upon issuance. This notice provides updated guidance for resumption of
doors-off flights for compensation or hire and supersedes the information conveyed in Notice
