The FAA fixed a typo in the rules for flying new electric aircraft

The Federal Aviation Administration corrected two minor errors in its new rules for pilot certification and operations of powered-lift aircraft. This means the official text now accurately reflects the agency's intended regulations for these new types of aircraft.

The FAA recently published the first comprehensive rules for how pilots will fly electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. These aircraft combine features of helicopters and airplanes. This correction is a small but necessary step to ensure the foundational rules are clear and legally sound as the industry prepares for these new vehicles.
