<p>Amendments have been proposed to certain FAR Part 25 airworthiness regulations applicable to cabin pressurization systems to accommodate operations at airports with elevations at or above 8,000 ft msl. Currently, the FAA makes a finding of an equivalent level of safety (ELOS) when a manufacturer or modifier proposes to certify pressurization systems for operations at airports at or above 8,000 feet. In addition, the FAA grants exemption requests from the automatic oxygen mask deployment requirements for operations at airports with elevations at or above 14,000 feet. This proposed action would relieve the burden on industry and the FAA that results from project-specific ELOS requests and petitions for exemption to accommodate operations at these high elevation airports.</p>
