Authorization for Noise Restricted Aircraft.

Need for Information: FAR Part 91.805 prohibits any person from

Stage 2 aircraft to obtain modifications to meet Stage 3 noise levels.

In its regulation codifying this provision of the legislation, the FAA

stated that it would issue a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR)

to provide procedures for special flight authorizations to facilitate

these operations. SFAR 64 permitted certain operations of noise-

restricted aircraft without a formal grant of exemption under 14 CFR

Part 11.

Proposed Use of Information: Under SFAR 64, operators would be able to
