Abstract
The FAA is revising its regulations for landing under instrument flight rules to allow aircraft to operate below certain specified altitudes during instrument approach procedures, even when the airport environment is not visible using natural vision, if the pilot uses certain FAA-certified enhanced flight vision systems. This action informs the public and the aviation industry of the approval of the use of new technology for certain operational benefits.
