Abstract
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 to renew an information collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on February 12, 2024. The collection involves requirements primarily applicable to air carriers conducting domestic, flag, and supplemental operations to enhance the professional development of pilots in those operations. The action requires air carriers conducting domestic, flag, and supplemental operations to provide new-hire pilots with an opportunity to observe flight operations and become familiar with procedures before serving as a flightcrew member in operations. Additionally, it requires air carriers who have not previously revised the upgrade training to include professional development and to provide leadership and command and mentoring training for all pilots in command. The information to be collected is necessary to mitigate incidents of unprofessional pilot behavior and reduce pilot errors that can lead to a catastrophic event.

SUMMARY: 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 to renew an information
collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was
published on February 12, 2024. The collection involves requirements
primarily applicable to air carriers conducting domestic, flag, and
supplemental operations to enhance the professional development of
pilots in those operations. The action requires air carriers conducting
domestic, flag, and supplemental operations to provide new-hire pilots
with an opportunity to observe flight operations and become familiar
with procedures before serving as a flightcrew member in operations.
Additionally, it requires air carriers who have not previously revised
the upgrade training to include professional development and to provide
leadership and command and mentoring training for all pilots in
command. The information to be collected is necessary to mitigate
incidents of unprofessional pilot behavior and reduce pilot errors that
can lead to a catastrophic event.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by December 16, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information.
OMB Control Number: 2120-0802.
Title: Pilot Professional Development.
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on February 12, 2024 (89 FR 9902). The collection
involves requirements primarily applicable to air carriers conducting
domestic, flag, and supplemental operations to enhance the professional
development of pilots in those operations. These amendments to part 121
set out prerequisites and levy requirements that must be met by
certificate holders using part 121 pilot training and qualification
programs and by those individuals who serve in given capacities for
those certificate holders.
The FAA anticipates that certificate holders will incur costs for
the following groups of provisions:
<bullet> Operations familiarization for new-hire pilots (Sec.
121.435);
<bullet> Leadership and command and mentoring ground training for
pilots currently serving as pilot in command (PIC) (Sec. 121.429) and
recurrent PIC leadership and command and mentoring ground training
(Sec. Sec. 121.409(b) and 121.427);
<bullet> Leadership and command training and recurrent leadership
and command training for pilots serving as second in command (SIC) in
operations that require three or more pilots (Sec. 121.432(a))
<bullet> Upgrade training curriculum requirements (Sec. Sec.
121.420 and 121.426);
<bullet> Part 121, appendix H requirements; and
<bullet> Approval of Qualification Standards Document for
certificate holders using an Advanced Qualification Program (AQP)
(Sec. 121.909).
The development and approval of new and revised curriculums will be
a one-time occurrence for each certificate holder. The documentation
regarding training in leadership and command and mentoring for current
PICs will be a one-time occurrence. Similarly, the documentation
regarding training in leadership and command for current SICs serving
in operations that require three or more pilots will be a one-time
occurrence. The documentation of operations familiarization for new-
hire pilots will occur once for each new-hire pilot. The documentation
of recurrent PIC leadership and command and mentoring training will
occur every three years for each PIC. The documentation of recurrent
leadership and command training for SICs serving in operations that
require three or more pilots will occur every three years for each such
SIC.
Respondents: Part 121 Air Carriers.
Frequency: Varies per Requirement.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: Varies per Requirement.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 341 Hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on November 12, 2024.
