Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on March 2, 2026; 91 FR 10181. The agency will summarize comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information collection.
In response to the increasing number of accidents and incidents involving the Mitsubishi MU-2B series airplane, the 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compliance with the pilot training program for the MU-2B under subpart N of part 91, issued on September 7, 2016, which superseded SFAR No. 108.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.
