Also, commercial aircraft always operate under IFR rules, while most general avaition aircraft always operate under VFR rules. Most pilots operating under Part 91 have never even SEEN parts 121 or 135, which would make the enforcement of this rule against part 91 operators most unfair.ĥ) Part 91.13 already prohibits 'careless and wreckless' operation of aircraft, which could presumably include accidents attributed to inattention.Ħ) There is a big difference between making an IFR approach in a commercial jet liner at 180 mph and making a IFR approach in a general avaition aircraft at 80 mph. Most general aircraft operate under part 91, which does not include the sterile cockpit rule. Typically only the aircraft already covered by the rule have such devices.ģ) The jurisdiction of the FAA normally doesn't include military aircraft.Ĥ) The rule is included only in Parts 121 and 135. Applying a rule that prohibits idle chit-chat and sightseeing would be ridiculous.Ģ) Enforcing such a rule in aircraft without cockpit voice recorders would be nearly impossible. Specifically, general aviation and military aviation could presumably also benefit from a Sterile Cockpit rule, since many of the same or similar environmental factors that allow distraction from non flying matters during critical flight phases exist in these segments also.'ġ) Most general avaition flights take place entirely below 10,000ft. The article states: 'this rule is also potentially applicable to other segments of aviation. Aviation Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation Template:WikiProject Aviation aviation articles
