The FAA is extending the duration of aircraft registration certificates from three years to seven years. Initial Certificates of Aircraft Registration will expire seven years from the month issued. In addition, the FAA is applying this amendment to all aircraft currently registered under existing FAA regulations governing aircraft registration, which will extend valid Certificates of Aircraft Registration to a seven-year duration. This rulemaking also makes other minor revisions to rules related to internal FAA registration processes.

The regulatory amendment also introduces a new paragraph in 14 CFR 47.40 to require aircraft owners to submit new registration forms to update their Certificates of Aircraft Registration prior to the seven-year expiration date if the Administrator determines that their registration information is inaccurate.

Additionally, as stated in the preamble to the rule, the amendment also revises 14 CFR 47.31(c)(1) to remove the requirement that the FAA issue a letter extending the temporary authority for an aircraft to operate when a Certificate of Aircraft Registration has not been issued or denied within 90 days after the date the application was signed.

This notice announces a mandatory change to Operations
Specification (OpSpec) C381, Special Instrument and RNAV Visual Flight Procedures, for
foreign air carriers operating under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 129. It also announces revised Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 8900.1 policy
guidance associated with the change. The part 129 C381 has been decommissioned and replaced
with part 129 OpSpec C081, Special Instrument and RNAV Visual Flight Procedures. The
OpSpec C081 will allow International Flight Offices (IFO) to issue and amend the OpSpec
without requesting the Flight Technologies and Procedures Division (AFS-400) and the
International Program Division (AFS-50) to concur on each OpSpec approval.

This order directs the activities of aviation safety inspectors (ASI)
and other Flight Standards Service (FS) employees responsible for the certification, technical
administration, and surveillance of air carriers, certain other air operators conducting operations
in accordance with the appropriate part of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR),
certificated airmen, and other aviation activities.

This AC is issued to assist
pilots with their regulatory obligation to see and avoid other aircraft. Specifically, this
AC looks to alert pilots to human contributors to midair collisions and near midair
collisions (NMAC), and recommend improvements to pilot education, operating
practices, procedures, and improved scanning techniques to reduce midair conflicts. This
AC is not mandatory and does not constitute a regulation. The contents of this document
do not have the force and effect of law and are not meant to bind the public in any way,
and the document is intended only to provide clarity to the public regarding existing
