Research Notes
Section 91.1014 — Issuing or denying management specifications — establishes the FAA process for issuing and revoking management specifications (similar to operations specifications) for fractional program managers.
What management specs cover: The specific aircraft authorized for the program, the authorized operating regions, the authorized flight crew certificates required, the manual provisions, training program elements, and operational limitations.
FAA approval: The program manager applies via Form 8400-6 (or equivalent) with detailed proposals. The FAA Flight Standards office reviews and issues management specifications, which must be on board the aircraft during operations.
Reference: FAA Order 8900.1 Volume 4 Chapter 11.
