**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.
