Contents of the previous chapters are reorganized under the Draft for Comment, with the sequence of each chapter adjusted. A new chapter titled "Flight Crew Members" is added, while the former chapters concerning operation qualification reviews over commercial non-transport operators and qualification reviews over private-use large aircraft operators are removed, and contents in relation to commercial non-transport operations and reviews over such operators are included in the other relevant chapters. The main body of the rules and some articles specified in annexes are amended accordingly.
