FAA to Hold Public Meetings on Airplane Certification
Beginning this month, the FAA’s Small Airplane Directorate will host a series of public meetings to discuss the requirements for small airplanes covered by federal regulations (14 CFR part 23). The meetings will focus on the future of small airplane certification standards as well as maintenance and operations regulations. The last thorough review of part 23 requirements occurred more than 25 years ago.
The meetings will follow an open discussion format based on the findings of a recent two-year study, "Part 23 Small Airplane Certification Process Study." Public participation is encouraged to provide feedback in developing what will affect the next 20 years of small airplane design, certification, and operations. Pilots, mechanics, owners, manufacturers, and other interested parties are all encouraged to participate. The first meeting will be held February 23 and 24 in Wichita, Kansas.
