Document Headings Document headings vary by document type but may contain the following: • the agency or agencies that issued and signed a document • the number of the CFR title and the number of each part the document amends, proposes to amend, or is directly related to • the agency docket number / agency internal file number • the RIN which identifies each regulatory action listed in the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions See the Document Drafting Handbook for more details. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration • 14 CFR Part 135 • [Docket No. FAA-2019-0360; Amdt. No. 135-145A] • RIN 2120-AL12 AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION: Correcting amendments. SUMMARY: On June 18, 2024, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published a final rule titled “Removal of Check Pilot Medical Certificate Requirement,” which was corrected on July 16, 2024. That final rule removed inconsistencies applicable to the qualification requirements for check pilots and flight instructors in domestic, flag, and supplemental operations and flight instructors in commuter and on demand operations so that check pilots, check flight engineers, and flight instructors can continue to perform their functions in aircraft without a medical certificate unless they are serving as required flightcrew members. It also removed the medical certificate requirement for flight instructors in commuter and on-demand operations who perform their functions in aircraft and are not serving as required flightcrew members. The final rule inadvertently failed to revise two section headings. This document makes those corrections. DATES: This correction is effective December 27, 2024.

It also removed the medical certificate requirement for flight instructors in commuter and on-demand operations who perform their functions in aircraft and are not serving as required flightcrew members. This is the second set of corrections. The first set of corrections was published in the Federal Register on July 16, 2024 (89 FR 57729). This document augments the previously published corrections. After publication of the final rule, the FAA determined that the revisions to the section headings for §§ 135.339 and ( printed page 105448) 135.340 had inadvertently not been made. The final rule intended to revise the section heading for § 135.339 by removing the obsolete terminology “check airmen (aircraft), check airmen (simulator)” and replacing them with “check pilots.” This would rename the heading to that section from “§ 135.339 Initial and transition training and checking: Check airmen (aircraft), check airmen (simulator),” to “§ 135.339 Initial and transition training and checking: Check pilots.” Similarly, the section heading for § 135.340 was also intended to be revised by removing the obsolete terminology “flight …
