This InFO provides clarification for pilots with a higher grade of pilot certificate exercising
sport pilot privileges, flight instructors with a sport pilot rating (subpart K), and flight instructors with
category and class ratings issued under subpart H who provide training and qualifying endorsement
privileges.

This notice provides information and direction regarding the data
collection and reporting on safe uniform options for pregnant aviation employees to address the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act of 2024 (Public Law (PL) 118-63)
Section 409.

This order prescribes the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Directives Management
System as the means for issuing policies and procedures within the FAA. This directive
establishes policy, delegates authority, and assigns responsibility for ensuring compliance with
this order within each organization.
This version of FAA Order 1320.1 changes the coordination review timeframe from 20 to 30
business days and includes administrative updates, including the digital imprint and clarifying
language. The Office of Information & Technology, Strategy & Performance Service (ASP-110)
will continue collecting all future, signed directives in electronic format. ASP-110 will create a
hyperlink to each directive from the FAA Document Library available on the MyFAA Orders &
Notices website. This will enable access to directives on existing agency websites.
The long-term goal is to create a document management system that will allow users to view,
coordinate, and approve FAA directives electronically.

On November 20, 2023, the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) issued Notice N 8110.118, Submittal and Disclosure of Safety Critical Information by
Applicants for Transport Category Airplane Type Certificates to supplement FAA Order
8110.4C, Type Certification and provide FAA interim policy regarding some of the requirements
of Section 105(a) of The Aircraft Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act, Pub. L. 116-260
(the Act). Section 105(a) of the Act established paragraph 44704(e) of Title 49, United States
Code (49 U.S.C.). The Act mandates that the Administrator require the submittal and disclosure
of safety critical information by applicants for, or holders of, new or amended, but not
supplemental, type certificates (TC) for transport category airplanes covered under title 14, Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 25. Section 105(a) also mandates the FAA to establish
multiple milestones throughout the certification process at which a proposed airplane system will
be assessed to determine whether any change to such system during the certification process is
such that the system should be considered novel or unusual by the Administrator.
FAA subsequently issued Notice N 8110.119 to extend the interim policy of Notice
N 8110.118, and to update references to specific 14 CFR part 25 sections based on a final rule
issued by the FAA (89 FR 68706) on August 27, 2024. This rule amended certain airworthiness
regulations to standardize the criteria for conducting safety assessments for systems, including
flight controls and powerplants, installed on transport category airplanes. This current Notice N
8110.120, further extends the interim policy and continues to provide methods for clearly
identifying certain information as “safety critical,” which applicants provide during the
application process for a new or amended TC project for a transport category airplane.

This order grants authority to the Flight Standards Service (FS)
Aircraft Evaluation Division (AED) (AFS-100) to manage technical policy and aircraft
operational evaluation projects, including evaluating aircraft, engine, or propeller and associated
systems for operational relevance, evaluating flightcrew type rating requirements, establishing
minimum equipment required for dispatch and continued airworthiness, and evaluating
instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA). This order contains information that is pertinent
to Title 49 of the United States Code (49 U.S.C.) § 44702.

THIS GENOT REVISES FAA ORDER JO 7110.65, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, PARAGRAPH 7–2–1 IN RESPONSE TO CONCERNS ABOUT HELICOPTER OR POWERED-LIFT AIRCRAFT TRANSITING ACROSS THE FLIGHT PATHS OF ARRIVING AND DEPARTING AIRCRAFT. VISUAL SEPARATION MUST CEASE BETWEEN HELICOPTER OR POWERED-LIFT AIRCRAFT CROSSING THE ARRIVAL OR DEPARTURE PATHS OF THESE AIRCRAFT.

This order provides guidance and assigns responsibilities for the acknowledgment,
communication, Continued Operational Safety (COS), and oversight of a Corporate Safety
Management System (SMS) that interfaces with the Flight Standards Service (FS) and Aircraft
Certification Service (AIR) within Aviation Safety (AVS).
This order supports Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Orders 8900.1, Volume 17, Safety
Management System; 8120.24, Implementation Plan Approval, Verification, and Evaluation of
Safety Management Systems for Design and Production Approval Holders; and 8120.25, Safety
Management Oversight of Design and Production Approval Holders.
