Aviation Rulemaking Advisory 

Committee; Transport Airplane and 

Engine Issue Area—New Task 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of new task assignment 

for the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory 

Committee (ARAC). 

SUMMARY: The FAA assigned the 

Aviation Rulemaking Advisory 

Committee (ARAC) a new task to 

identify and develop recommendations 

on additional requirements for low 

speed alerting in new transport category 

airplanes. This task is the first phase of 

an overall effort to examine new 

standards, as well as possible retrofit 

standards. This notice is to inform the 

public of this ARAC activity.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA established ARAC to 

provide advice and recommendations to 

the FAA Administrator on the FAA’s 

rulemaking activities with respect to 

aviation-related issues. With respect to 

low speed alerting, the FAA previously 

revised regulations in the area of flight 

guidance (autopilot) and performance 

and handling qualities in icing 

conditions to improve transport airplane 

standards for low speed protection (in 

the case of icing, stall warning standards 

were enhanced). However, as a result of 

several recent loss-of-control accidents 

and incidents, the FAA has identified a 

need for additional low speed 

safeguards, in addition to the regulatory 

actions that have already been taken. 

The committee will address the first 

task under the Transport Airplane and 

Engine Issues, under the existing 

Avionics Systems Harmonization 

Working Group. 

The Task 

ARAC is initially tasked with 

providing information that will be used 

to develop standards and guidance 

material for low speed alerting systems. 

This information may result in 

standards that complement existing stall 

warning requirements. The working 

group will be expected to provide a 

report that addresses the following low 

speed alerting technical questions, 

relative to new aircraft designs (Phase 1 

task—new Part 25 standards), and 

provides the rationale for their 

responses. If there is disagreement 

within the working group, those items 

should be documented, including the 

rationale from each party and the 

reasons for the disagreement. 

• How much time is needed to alert 

the crew in order to avoid stall warning 

or excessive deviation below the 

intended operating speed? 

• What would make the alerting 

instantly recognizable, clear, and 

unambiguous to the flightcrew? 

• How could nuisance alerts be 

minimized? 

• Could the alerting operate under all 

operating conditions, configurations, 

and phases of flight, including icing 

conditions? 

• Could the alerting operate during 

manual and autoflight? 

• Could the system reliability be 

made consistent with existing 

regulations and guidance for stall 

warning systems? 

• Are there any regulations or 

guidance material that might conflict 

with new standards? 

• What recommended guidance 

material is needed? 

• After reviewing airworthiness, 

safety, cost, and other relevant factors, 

including recent certification and fleet 

experience, are there any additional 

considerations that should be taken into 

account? 

• Is coordination necessary with 

other harmonization working groups 

(e.g., Human Factors)? (if yes, 

coordinate and report on that 

coordination) 

The working group will be also be 

expected to provide a report that 

addresses the following low speed 

alerting technical questions, relative to 

existing aircraft designs (as a lead-in to 

the Phase 2 task—retrofit standards), 

and provides the rationale for their 

responses. If there is disagreement 

within the working group, those items 

should be documented, including the 

rationale from each party and the 

reasons for the disagreement.
