In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new information collection. The collection involves application for a Special Purpose Pilot Authorization (SPPA) submitted to the FAA for the purpose of performing pilot duties on a civil aircraft of the United States and leased by a non-U.S. citizen. The information to be collected will be used to determine applicant eligibility for the issuance of a SPPA.
Learn More✈️FAA Airspace Amendment for Iron Mountain Kingsford, MI
This action amends the Class E airspace at Iron Mountain Kingsford, MI. This action is the result of an airspace review conducted due to the decommissioning of the Iron Mountain very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program; brings the airspace into compliance with FAA orders; and supports instrument flight rule (IFR) procedures and operations.

This action revises an earlier notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that the FAA published in Federal Register on March 20, 2025, by correcting the geographic coordinates of a boundary point in proposed restricted areas R-5305A, R-5305B, and R-5305C; Camp Lejeune, NC. This action continues to propose restricted areas R-5307A, R-5307B, and R- 5307C; Cherry Point, NC. The purpose of this proposal is to create additional restricted area airspace to connect restricted area R-5003, R-5004, and R-5306 complexes to contain hazardous activities such as weapon deployment, non-eye safe lasers, and artillery within larger contiguous restricted area airspace that is required to realistically simulate essential training mission tasks.
Learn More✈️FAA Airworthiness Directive on General Electric Engines Requires Action
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) Model CF34-8C1, CF34-8C5, CF34- 8C5A1, CF34-8C5A2, CF34-8C5A3, CF34-8C5B1, CF34-8E2, CF34-8E2A1, CF34- 8E5, CF34-8E5A1, CF34-8E5A2, CF34-8E6, and CF34-8E6A1 engines. This AD was prompted by a predicted reduction in the cyclic life of the combustion chamber assembly (CCA) forward flange. This AD requires fluorescent penetrant inspections (FPIs) of the CCA for any indications and replacement if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️FAA Proposes Amendment to Class E Airspace in Lacon, IL
This action proposes to amend the Class E airspace at Lacon, IL. The geographic coordinates of the Marshall County Airport, Lacon, IL, would also be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. The FAA is proposing this action as the result of airspace reviews conducted due to the decommissioning of the Bradford very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program. This action would bring the airspace into compliance with FAA orders and support instrument flight rule (IFR) procedures and operations.
Learn More✈️Class D and E Airspace Changes in Little Rock
This action amends Class D airspace and establishes Class E airspace extending upward from the surface above Little Rock AFB, Little Rock, AR, as the air traffic control tower will shift to part- time operations. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at this airport.
Learn More✈️FAA Corrects Class D Airspace Amendment for Jupiter, FL
This action corrects a final rule published by the FAA in the Federal Register on June 3, 2025. That final rule amended Class D airspace extending upward from the surface to and including 2,500 feet MSL within a 4.5-mile radius of William P. Gwinn Airport in Jupiter, FL, beginning at the 205[deg] bearing from the airport clockwise to the 145[deg] bearing, thence to the beginning point. However, there was an administrative error in the airspace description, with the incorrect state listed. Therefore, this action corrects that final rule by revising the airspace header to the correct state.
Learn More🚁Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Airbus Helicopters by FAA
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Model MBB-BK 117 D-2 and MBB-BK 117 D-3 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of airspeed and altitude indication errors. This proposed AD would require revising the existing rotorcraft flight manual supplement (RFMS) for the helicopter and replacing the air conditioning system (ACS) condenser outlet grids with ACS condenser outlet covers, and would prohibit installing ACS condenser outlet grids. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
