    Title: Mitsubishi MU-2B Series Airplane Special Training 
Requirements.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Background: In response to the increasing number of accidents and 
incidents involving the Mitsubishi MU-2B series airplane, FAA began a 
safety evaluation of the MU-2B in July of 2005. As a result of this 
safety evaluation, on February 6, 2008, the FAA issued Special Federal 
Aviation Regulation (SFAR) No. 108--Mitsubishi MU-2B Series Special 
Training, Experience, and Operating Requirements. This SFAR established 
a standardized pilot training program. The collection of information is 
necessary to document participation in, completion of, and compliance 
with the pilot training program for the MU-2B under subpart N of Part 
91, issued on September 7, 2016, which superseded SFAR No. 108.
    Respondents: Approximately 210 active MU-2 pilots, and 
approximately 11 Part 91 training providers.
    Frequency: Every year (pilots); every two years (training 
providers).
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Pilots: Logbook endorsement 
and training course final phase check = 10 minutes. Training providers: 
Submission of training program = 4 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: Pilots: 35 hours. Training 
providers: 22 hours. Total: 57 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on February 26, 2026.
