Enabling Supersonic Overland Flight

July 2, 2026

This proposal would advance the United States' leadership in next-generation aviation by replacing the longstanding prohibition on civil supersonic flight over land with a modern, performance-based regulatory framework. Consistent with national policy set forth by the Executive Order of June 6, 2025, Leading the World in Supersonic Flight, this action would enable the safe, efficient, and commercially viable operation of civil supersonic aircraft in the United States. Current regulations prohibit flight operations of civil aircraft at a true flight Mach number greater than 1 in the U.S., except under the conditions and limitations of an operation-specific authorization from the Administrator, to protect the public from sonic boom. FAA has determined the general ban on civil supersonic flight is outdated and no longer appropriate due to advancements in technology, flight techniques that prevent sonic booms from reaching the surface, and increased interest in civil supersonic flight. FAA proposes to repeal this outdated and unnecessary prohibition and establish a corresponding interim noise-based certification standard to allow supersonic flights without an operation-specific special authorization clearing the way for next-generation supersonic flight. This rule removes regulatory barriers, provides clear pathways for testing and early commercial operations, and positions the United States to serve as the leader in setting global standards for supersonic flight. These actions will ensure that the United States leads the world in the safe, lawful, and rapid development and deployment of next-generation supersonic aviation.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

July 2, 2026

AD 2025- 13-09 requires inspecting the tightening torque, reporting the results of the inspections, and, depending on the results of the inspection, taking corrective action. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-13-09, the manufacturer determined that additional inspections of the main rotor (MR) servo-controls nut torque should be required. This proposed AD would retain some of the actions of AD 2025-13-09 and would also require additional inspections and, depending on the results of the inspection, corrective actions. This proposed AD would also require reporting certain information to the manufacturer. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Enhancing Flexibility of Air Fare Price Advertising

July 1, 2026

The U.S. Department of Transportation (Department or DOT) is proposing to amend its rule on air fare advertising to allow the total fare, including taxes and fees, to be displayed with the same prominence as any individual components. The current rule states that individual components of air fare, like taxes and fees, may not be displayed prominently. The Department is also proposing to eliminate a prescriptive advertising regulation stating that components of a fare may not be presented in the same or larger size as the total price. These proposed changes would ensure greater flexibility in how air fare is displayed while ensuring information is presented clearly to consumers, and in conformity with the intent of Congress as articulated in a provision of the Internal Revenue Code establishing standards for the display of taxes in advertisements for air transportation. In addition, the Department is proposing to rescind nine air fare price advertising guidance documents. They have become outdated and unnecessary because entities are bound by statute and regulatory text; furthermore, in certain cases, these documents improperly functioned as de facto regulations without adhering to the notice-and-comment procedures required by the Administrative Procedure Act.

Mechanic Certification: Inspection Rating and Recent Experience Requirements

July 1, 2026

FAA proposes to amend the regulations for certificated mechanics by replacing the inspection authorization with an inspection rating on a mechanic's certificate, similar to the existing airframe and powerplant ratings. The inspection rating would carry the same privileges and limitations as the inspection authorization but would not require renewal or have an expiration date, consistent with the other mechanic ratings. As a result, FAA proposes to require certificated mechanics with inspection ratings to complete rolling recent experience activities, maintained independently, to exercise the privileges of their rating, rather than the current requirements of presenting evidence of renewal activities each March of every odd- numbered year. These proposed changes are intended to align mechanic privileges, which would streamline and simplify the process for maintaining inspection privileges, increase FAA efficiency by reducing on-demand work tasks, and save critical hours for safety-focused missions. These proposed changes would be deregulatory since they would reduce the paperwork and resource burdens linked to complying with the existing regulations for both industry and FAA.

Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Aerospace LP Airplanes (Type Certificate Previously Held by Isr...

June 9, 2026

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-15-04, which applies to all Gulfstream Aerospace LP Model G150 airplanes. AD 2025-15-04 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate a new airworthiness limitation. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-15-04, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require actions in AD 2025-15-04 and would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
