Dear Mr. Puhl:
This responds to your letter regarding pilot notification under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if hazardous materials excepted under § 175.10(a) (4) are subject to the notification of pilot-in-command requirements of § 175.33. Your airline is certificated under 14 CFR Part 121 and is designated as a “non-carry” airline with regard to the transportation of hazardous materials. Your airline does, however, notify the pilot-in-command in writing as required for specific circumstances identified in § 175.10(a) (4). Please accept my apology for the delay in responding to your inquiry and any
inconvenience it may have caused.
The answer is no. Unless specifically identified in § 175.10, hazardous materials carried aboard an aircraft by a passenger or crew member under the exceptions prescribed in § 175.10(a) (4) are not subject to the requirements of the HMR. Thus, a carrier of such items is not subject to the notification of pilot-in-command requirements of § 175.33.
I trust this satisfies your inquiry. Please contact us if you require further assistance.
