FAR/AIM: Explanation of Changes

Explanation of Changes

Effective: October 5, 2023

  1. 1-1-9. INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM (ILS)
    This change reflects the FAA Order JO 7110.65 guidance that allows a preceding arrival or departure in or over the ILS critical area when the weather is above 200' ceiling and 2000 RVR. The new guidance warns pilots of signal disturbances that may be encountered in any weather at or above standard CAT I minima.
  2. 1-1-20. PRECISION APPROACH SYSTEMS OTHER THAN ILS AND GPS
    APPENDIX 3. ABBREVIATIONS/ACRONYMS

    This change will result in the removal of references to SCAT-I DGPS from the AIM.
  3. 3-5-2. MILITARY TRAINING ROUTES
    This change adds language to paragraph 3-5-2 that defines what the Department of Defense Flight Information Publications (DoD FLIP) represent and describes instrument/visual routes (IR/VR) that can be found in charts and narratives. It also describes FAA's responsibility for providing information about them on IFR and VFR routes. Additionally, a note was added for users who require copies of the FLIP.
  4. 3-5-8. WASHINGTON DC SPECIAL FLIGHT RULES AREA (SFRA) INCLUDING THE FLIGHT RESTRICTED ZONE (FRZ)
    This change adds a new paragraph 3-5-8, Washington DC Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA) including the Flight Restricted Zone (FRZ), to the AIM to better inform pilots and reduce violations reference the requirements of 14 CFR Part 93.339 and Part 91.161, and 14 CFR 99.7 Special Security Instruction NOTAMs. The current paragraphs 3-5-8 and 3-5-9 are being renumbered 3-5-9 and 3-5-10, respectively.
  5. 4-1-21. AIRPORT RESERVATION OPERATIONS AND SPECIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
    Dual-tone multi-frequency (telephone touch-tone signaling) interfaces are no longer available for use to receive an Electronic Special Traffic Management Program or Enhanced Computer Voice Reservation System reservation. Procedures for coordination processing are updated and some content has been revised for clarification.
  6. 7-3-5. COLD TEMPERATURE AIRPORT PROCEDURES
    This change adds an additional segment to FIG 7-3-1, Example Cold Temperature Restricted Airport List - Required Segments, along with guidance on how to apply a temperature correction to this segment. The change also rearranges the section for better flow, swapping the positions of updated subparagraphs e and f.
  7. Editorial Changes
    Editorial changes include updated and corrected references and typos; rewording subparagraph 8-1-2d to eliminate confusion between high altitude of aircraft vs. low cabin altitude pressure; clarifying language in subparagraph 11-2-2c2 to say that UAS that are flown exclusively for recreational purposes must be registered if they weigh more than 0.55 pounds (250 grams); updating the subscription information for this publication; and a hyperlink fix and hyperlink update for Helicopter Association International in subparagraph 10-2-1a.
  8. Entire Publication
    Additional editorial/format changes were made where necessary. Revision bars were not used because of the insignificant nature of these changes.
