Abstract
On April 1, 2024, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published a final rule in the Federal Register to incorporate certain Airman Certification Standards and Practical Test Standards by reference into the certification requirements for pilots, flight instructors, flight engineers, aircraft dispatchers, and parachute riggers. In that final rule, the FAA incorrectly set forth certain regulatory text which, if not corrected, would remove certain content from the Code of Federal Regulations the FAA did not intend to remove. This correction remedies the error.

Airman Certification Standards and Practical Test Standards for
Airmen; Incorporation by Reference
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On April 1, 2024, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
published a final rule in the Federal Register to incorporate certain
Airman Certification Standards and Practical Test Standards by
reference into the certification requirements for pilots, flight
instructors, flight engineers, aircraft dispatchers, and parachute
riggers. In that final rule, the FAA incorrectly set forth certain
regulatory text which, if not corrected, would remove certain content
from the Code of Federal Regulations the FAA did not intend to remove.
This correction remedies the error.
DATES: Effective on May 31, 2024.
ADDRESSES: For information on where to obtain copies of rulemaking
documents and other information related to this final rule, see ``How

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 1, 2024, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) published the final rule, Airman Certification
Standards and Practical Test Standards for Airmen; Incorporation by
Reference.\1\ That final rule adopted several amendments to parts 61,
63, and 65 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) by
incorporating by reference (IBR) the Airman Certification Standards
(ACS) and Practical Test Standards (PTS). The ACS and PTS \2\ serve as
the testing standards for airman certificates and rating practical
tests. Among other things, the final rule revised Sec. 65.119(a) to
require compliance with the respective PTS for parachute riggers.
However, the FAA inadvertently set forth only the revisions to the
introductory text of paragraph (a) and did not address the undesignated
paragraph at the end of paragraph (a). The FAA is correcting this error
by setting forth the entirety of paragraph (a) and designating the
currently-undesignated paragraph at the end of paragraph (a) as
paragraph (a)(3).

plural Standards throughout the document.
