Purpose of This Notice.

This notice announces changes to issuing requirements for Operations Specifications (OpSpec) A006, Management Personnel, and A008, Operational Control, and revises the templates for affected Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 135 certificate holders. These changes clarify which 14 CFR part 119 management personnel are required to be direct employees of the part 135 certificate holder (i.e., the Director of Operations (DO) and Chief Pilot) as well as more clearly indicate whether or not the Director of Maintenance (DOM) is a direct employee.
