OP NONTRANSPORT CATEGORY OPERATING
LIMITATIONS

Adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board at its office in Washington, D. C., on the 23d day of December 1953.
This amendment to Part 41 of the Civil Air Regulations eliminates the require ment for certification in the transport category after December 31, 1953, and establishes nontranspoft category oper ating limitations to become effective on July 1, 1954.
Section 41.26 c of Part 41 currently states that after December 31, 1953, all aircraft operating under this part shall comply with the transport category cer tification requirements of either Part 4a or 4b and with the operating limita tions prescribed in this part for trans port category airplanes. This require ment was intended to remove from the scheduled air transportation such air craft types as the Douglas DC-3 and Lockheed L-18 after this date unless recertificated in the transport category.
This provision was also contained in Part 40 of the Civil Air Regulations. In view of the safety record of the DC-3 and L-18
and their continued use in scheduled passenger operation, the Board, in re vised Part 40, permitted the continued operation of these airplanes but required that they comply with certain perform ance operating limitations based on the nontransport category performance lim itations that presently appear in Part 42.
In view of the action taken with re spect to these airplanes in revised Part 40, this regulation permits operation of nontransport category airplanes under Part 41 after December 31, 1953, but at the same time prescribes the same per formance operating limitations that are Prescribed in revised Part 40.. Since it is estimated that the affected air car
riers will require about six months to implement these operating limitations for these aircraft, the operating limita tions will not become effective until July 1, 1954. This will permit con tinued operation, of these aircraft under present conditions until that date.
Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate in the making of this regulation, and due con sideration has been given to all relevant matter presented. Since this regulation imposes no immediate additional burden on any person, it may be made effective without prior notice.
In consideration of the foregoing, the Civil Aeronautics Board hereby amends Part 41 of the Civil Air Regulations 14
CFR, Part 41, as amended effective immediately:
