                 Title: Mitsubishi MU-2B Series Airplane Special Training,
                Experience, and Operating Procedures.
                 Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this
                collection.
                 Type of Review: Renewal.
                 Background: In response to the increasing number of accidents and
                incidents involving the Mitsubishi MU-2B series airplane, the Federal
                Aviation Administration (FAA) began a safety evaluation of the MU-2B in
                July of 2005. As a result of this safety evaluation, on February 6,
                2008 the FAA issued Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 108--
                Mitsubishi MU-2B Series Special Training, Experience, and Operating
                Requirements. This Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR)
                established a standardized pilot training program. The collection of
                information is necessary to document participation in, completion of,
                and compliance with the pilot training program for the MU-2B under
                subpart N of CFR part 91, issued on September 7, 2016, which superseded
                SFAR No. 108.
                 Respondents: Approximately 20 part 91 training providers, and
                approximately 400 active MU-2 pilots.
                 Frequency: Every year (pilots); every two years (training
                providers).
                 Estimated Average Burden per Response: Pilots: Logbook endorsement
                and training course final phase check = 10 minutes. Training providers:
                Submission of training program = 4 hours.
                 Estimated Total Annual Burden: Pilots: 67 hours. Training
                providers: 40 hours. Total: 107 hours.
