scope:

PURPOSE. a. This order provides guidance for amending the FAA Form 8100-2, Standard Airworthiness Certificate for certain aircraft operated in the State of Alaska that may undergo major alterations approved under the FAA's field approval process. The FAA has determined that some of these altered aircraft may need to be limited to operating only within the boundaries of the State of Alaska.

b. This order also provides guidance for FAA Flight Standards aviation safety inspectors (ASI) to determine which aircraft are affected by these requirements and how to amend the standard airworthiness certificate for each of those aircraft. Aircraft currently operating in the State of Alaska that had major alterations incorporated before the effective date of this order and aircraft operating in States other than Alaska are not affected by this order.
