U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular Subject: Flight Standards Service Schedule of Charges Outside the United States Date: 3/28/08 Initiated by: AFS-50 AC No: 187-1B Change:
1. PURPOSE. This advisory circular (AC) transmits a schedule of charges for services of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Flight Standards Service (AFS) aviation safety inspectors (ASI) outside the United States. The methodology for determining these charges and the initial charges developed by this methodology were established by rulemaking action to Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 187, Docket No. 27809; Notice N 94-24, Fees for Certification Services and Approvals Performed Outside the United States.
The rulemaking established that these fees would be published in an AC.
2. CANCELLATION. AC 187-1A, Flight Standards Service Schedule of Charges Outside the United States, dated September 24, 2004, is canceled.
3. RELATED 14 CFR SECTIONS. Each charge listed in Appendix 1 refers to an FAA activity described in 14 CFR. The specific 14 CFR reference is listed beside each category of service and charge. Generally, these charges refer to:
• Part 187, Appendix A - Methodology for Computation of Charges;
• Parts 61, 63, and 65 - Airman certification;
• Parts 141, 142, 145, and 147 - Air agency certification; and
• Part 183 – Representatives of the Administrator.
4. APPENDIX CHANGES. The FAA plans to review the actual costs incurred in the services listed in Appendix 1 at the beginning of each fiscal year.

The FAA will amend the schedule of charges on an annual basis to either increase or decrease fees, as needed. Each amended schedule will be published in the Federal Register and updated in a change to this AC.
