Research Notes
Section 91.881 — Final compliance: Civil subsonic jet airplanes weighing 75,000 pounds or less — established the Stage 3 compliance deadline for smaller subsonic jets.
The smaller-aircraft phase-out: The Stage 3 compliance requirement was extended to smaller business jets and regional aircraft on a later schedule than the large airliner phase-out, recognizing the different operational and engineering challenges.
Reference: Part 91 Subpart I.
