scope:

Purpose of this Notice. This notice provides revised guidance for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certificate-holding district offices (CHDO) and principal operations inspectors (POI) assigned to operators conducting airplane operations under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) parts 91 subpart K (part 91K), 121, 125 (including the Letter of Deviation Authority (LODA) 125M operators), 129, and 135. This notice amends and clarifies the authorization (C052) for straight-in non-precision approach procedures with vertical guidance (APV) and Category (CAT) I precision approach and landing minima. It also incorporates the authorization of C053, which authorized straight-in Nonprecision Approach (NPA) procedures, introduces Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) procedures as a selectable in Table 1, and incorporates authorization C074, which authorized straight-in CAT I precision approach procedures. This notice decommissions all C053 and C074 templates, and amends all C052 templates; i.e., operations specification (OpSpec) C052, management specification (MSpec) C052, and letter of authorization (LOA) C052 for operators conducting airplane operations under parts 91K, 121, 125 (including the LODA 125M operators), 129, and 135. This is a mandatory change to C052.
