DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Public Meeting on Future Policy and 

Rulemaking for Normal, Utility, 

Acrobatic, and Commuter Category 

Small Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of public meeting. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice 

to advise the public of a meeting to 

discuss a review of the requirements for 

small airplanes. This discussion focuses 

on the future of small airplane 

regulation; however, we are asking for 

feedback concerning maintenance and 

operations, and not just certification. 

DATES: The meeting will be held 

February 23 and 24 from 8 a.m. to 5 

p.m. each day. 

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at 

the Marriott, 9100 Corporate Hills Drive, 

Wichita, Kansas 67207. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Lowell Foster, Regulations and Policy, 

ACE–111, Federal Aviation 

Administration, 901 Locust St., Kansas 

City, MO 64106; telephone: (816) 329– 

4125; facsimile (816) 329–4090; e-mail: 

lowell.foster@faa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given of a public meeting to 

initiate the review of 14 CFR part 23 

regulations. The last thorough review of 

part 23 requirements occurred more 

than 25 years ago. Due to this long 

interval, this regulatory review goes 

beyond the traditional regulatory 

reviews. 

We are attempting to determine the 

adequacy of the current airworthiness 

standards throughout a small airplane’s 

service life while anticipating future 

requirements. We encourage the 

public’s participation and feedback in 

developing or amending new and 

existing policy, guidance, and 

rulemaking. These efforts will affect the 

next 20 years of small airplane design, 

certification, and operations. 

Specifically, we would like feedback 

from manufacturers, pilots, owners, 

mechanics, instructors and anyone else 

with an interest in the small airplane 

industry. 

The FAA’s Small Airplane Directorate 

plans to host at least three, two-day 

meetings, depending on public interest. 

There may be a meeting in the southeast 

and southwest regions of the United 

States. The meetings will not follow a 

fixed agenda, but the discussions will 

generally follow the findings from a 

recent two-year study. That study, the 

‘‘Part 23 Small Airplane Certification 

Process Study,’’ addressed the following 

areas: 

• Structure and Process of Part 23 

• Design Certification 

• Continued Airworthiness 

• Data Management 

• Pilot Interface 

The report is available on-line at: 

http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/ 

headquarters_offices/avs/offices/air/ 

directorates_field/small_airplanes/. 

Included in the study are 

recommendations associated with 

certification, maintenance, 

modifications, and pilot training. Also 

included in the report is the 

recommendation to revise part 23 such 

that requirements are based on airplane 

performance and complexity. Since the 

beginning, small airplane certification 

requirements have been based on 

propulsion and weight. Many previous 

assumptions for small airplanes are no 

longer accurate. This is discussed in 

detail in the Certification Process 

Report. 

The FAA plans to open each meeting 

with a detailed presentation from the 

Certification Process Study findings 

followed by opening the floor for 

discussions. There will be an official 

recorder participating at each meeting. 

The meeting minutes, as well as any 

comments, feedback, recommendations 

or action items will become public 

record. 

Attendance is open to the interested 

public but limited to space availability. 

Since seating is limited, we ask anyone 

interested in attending to notify Lowell 

Foster at the phone or e-mail address 

listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section.

20, 2010.
