This notice provides a consistent process to document Regulatory
Compliance Actions (CA) and Enforcement Actions in the Safety Assurance System (SAS) and
provides an update on available tools and reports to track these actions. This notice also provides
specific instructions for documenting passenger interference cases in SAS and the Enforcement
Information System (EIS). This notice focuses on the locations within the automation where
information is entered to create quality records.

This notice announces a planned revision to Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) Order 8900.1, Volume 4, Chapter 15, Section 2, Electronic Flight
Bag (EFB) Program Checklist, and ensures operators are following Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) recommendations for portable EFB batteries, if applicable

This AC provides an
educational roadmap for the development and implementation of preflight self-briefings,
including planning, weather interpretation, and risk identification/mitigation skills. Pilots
adopting these guidelines will be better prepared to interpret and utilize real-time weather
information before departure and en route, in the cockpit, via technology like Automatic
Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) and via third-party providers. This AC
provides guidance for required preflight actions under Title 14 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 91, § 91.103, which states, “Each pilot in command shall,
before beginning a flight, become familiar with all available information concerning that
flight.” This AC will also encourage pilots to utilize Flight Service in a consultative
capacity, when needed. 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. This document is intended only to
provide clarity to the public regarding existing requirements under the law or agency
policies.

This notice announces the establishment of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 8900.1, Volume 20, Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program. This new volume will have an introduction followed by 10 chapters that will correspond with each of the Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP) elements. Once established, guidance and policy will be migrated to this volume by following the Flight Standards normal revision and comment process. This notice extends the applicability of Notice N 8900.516, Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP) Guidance and Policy, which expired on July 8, 2020.

This notice provides guidance to Flight Standards Service aviation
safety inspectors (ASI) for oversight of an approved minimum equipment list (MEL) and MEL
management program. This notice extends the applicability of Notice N 8900.507, Operator Use
of Engineering Change Authorizations (EA), Engineering Change Orders (EO), and/or Other
Acceptable Maintenance Methods Applicable to Minimum Equipment List (MEL) Items, which
expired on April 9, 2020.

This memorandum authorizes a deviation to individual and organizational designee oversight
requirements from January 1, 2021, through September 30, 2021, that cannot be met due to
widespread federal, state, and local government and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) precautions taken to limit the spread of COVID-19. It also allows ongoing use of remote
technology by the FAA for purposes of performing individual and organizational designee
oversight and allows its use by Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) holders for
conducting on-site visits of inspection unit members.
