scope:

Purpose.

This change incorporates the updated Flight Standards organization structure while removing all Flight Standards routing symbols/codes. Also, this change transfers approval authority for special instrument flight procedures from the Flight Technologies and Procedures Division to the Flight Procedure Implementation and Oversight Branch. It assigns the Flight Procedure Implementation and Oversight Branch as the approval authority for instrument flight procedures that require specific approval (as identified in this and other 8260-series orders), or that require waivers to procedure design standards. In addition, the approval authority for Attention All Users Pages (AAUP) have been moved from the Flight Technologies and Procedures Division to the Flight Operations Branch. These changes are intended to reduce administrative redundancies and improve customer response times. Other editorial changes unrelated to policy and/or guidance have been made to correct publishing errors throughout the document.
