U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular Subject: Flight Standards Service Schedule of Charges Outside the United States Date: 9/24/14 Initiated by: AFS-50 AC No: 187-1H Change:

1. PURPOSE. This advisory circular (AC) transmits an updated schedule of charges for services of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Flight Standards Service (AFS) aviation safety inspectors (ASI) outside the United States. Rulemaking action to Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 187, Docket No. 27809 and Notice 94-24, Fees for Certification Services and Approvals Performed Outside the United States, established the methodology for determining these charges. The rulemaking established that the FAA would publish these fees in an AC.

2. EFFECTIVE DATE. The effective date of this AC is October 1, 2014.

3. CANCELLATION. This AC cancels AC 187-1G, Flight Standards Service Schedule of Charges Outside the United States, dated September 20, 2013.

4. RELATED 14 CFR REFERENCES. Each charge listed in Appendix 1, Schedule of Services, Flight Standards Service, Schedule of Charges Outside the United States, refers to an FAA activity described in FAA regulations. Listed beside each category of service and charge is the specific regulatory reference. Generally, these charges refer to 14 CFR:

• Parts 61, 63, and 65 (Airman Certification);

• Parts 141, 142, 145, and 147 (Air Agency Certification);

• Part 183, Representatives of the Administrator; and

• Part 187, Appendix A, Methodology for Computation of Fees for Certification Services Performed Outside the United States.

5. 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 (FY). The FAA will do this using the same fee methodology described in part 187 appendix A. The FAA will amend the schedule of charges on an annual basis to either increase or decrease fees, as needed. The FAA will publish each amended schedule in the Federal Register (FR) and as a revision to this AC.
