Industry Input Needed on Restricted Category Certifications

On Jan. 24, the Virginia-based law firm Obadal, Filler, MacLeod, & Klein, P.L.C. launched a survey gathering experience with certification and operation of restricted category aircraft in the United States. As ARSA’s management firm and in support of multiple restricted-category clients, OFMK has taken the lead in gathering, analyzing, and disseminating industry information for a series of FAA listening sessions.

The FAA outreach is to provide for meaningful discussion between agency representatives and industry stakeholders regarding restricted category certification, operational challenges, and regulatory requirements. The law firm created the survey questionnaire to ensure the industry provides the appropriate information for consideration under the plain language of the applicable regulations. Responses will be collated without attribution to identify the regulatory requirements associated with the issues experienced so appropriate resolutions can be reached.

All interested parties are encouraged to complete the survey. Collected information will be referred to the appropriate FAA and industry contacts throughout the engagement.

To participate in the survey, go to:

Respondents may voluntarily provide contact information that will be used only for clarification on any responses provided. Although providing contact information will not create an attorney client relationship with the law firm, the information provided will not be released without a demand from a court of competent jurisdiction.

For more information or questions about the survey, contact ofmk@potomac-law.com.
