Streamlined LOA Applications

In June 2022, the FAA introduced the first phase of its effort to streamline the Part 91 Letter of Authorization (LOA) application process. The Streamlined LOA (SLOA) process is currently limited to newly manufactured aircraft delivered directly from the manufacturer to the operator submitting the LOA application. (Some OEMs are starting to add preowned aircraft under certain conditions, so contact your OEM rep.)

Applications must be submitted no later than 90 days following aircraft delivery along with valid TSOC and PSOCs. Operators that do not meet these eligibility requirements must apply through the standard Part 91 LOA application process.

There are three components to the SLOA application, and the operator must have all three components in order to participate:

ASOC: Aircraft Statement of Capability

TSOC: Training Statement of Compliance for each LOA requested

PSOC: Procedures Statement of Compliance

An ASOC is issued by the FAA to a specific aircraft make/model. Most newly manufactured aircraft have an ASOC. To confirm whether your aircraft serial number can be issued an ASOC, check the FAA's streamlined LOAs website for a list of OEMs and their contact information.

A TSOC is issued by the FAA to a training facility. There are two types of TSOC's; one issued for general training courses like RVSM, NAT HLA, RNP-10, PBN (standalone or as modules in an International Operations Procedures course), and the second is the aircraft specific training for LOAs such as CPDLC, LNAV/VNAV/LPV, and EFVS. The operator must complete both the generic (non-aircraft specific) for RVSM, NAT HLA, RNP-10/4/2 and aircraft specific training for CPDLC, RNAV-1/RNP-1, LNAV/VNAV/LPV, and EFVS. Some TSOCs do not have aircraft specific training for CPDLC. If this is the case for your aircraft, the CPDLC LOA cannot be submitted under the SLOA process.

A PSOC is issued by the FAA to manual vendors after the FAA has conducted an extensive review of their international procedures manual. The PSOC identifies what LOAs are covered, and all LOAs requested by the operator must be identified on the PSOC. Jet RVSM has a PSOC for our International Operations Manual, which includes RVSM, NAT HLA, RNP-10/4/2, RNAV-1/RNP-1, LNAV/VNAV/LPV and CPDLC LOAs. Some vendors only have RVSM authorization on their PSOC.
