(AutoGyro) Model Calidus Gyroplane 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Issuance of final Airworthiness 

Design Standards. 

SUMMARY: These airworthiness design

INFORMATION CONTACT. 

Background 

The ‘‘primary’’ category for aircraft 

was created specifically for the simple, 

low performance personal aircraft. 

Section 21.17(f) provides a means for 

applicants to propose airworthiness 

standards for their particular primary 

category aircraft. The FAA procedure 

establishing appropriate airworthiness 

standards includes reviewing and 

possibly revising the applicant’s 

proposal, publication of the submittal in 

the Federal Register for public review 

and comment, and addressing the 

comments. After all necessary revisions, 

the standards are published as approved 

FAA airworthiness standards. 

Comments 

Proposed Primary Category 

Airworthiness Design Standards; 

AutoGyro USA, LLC (AutoGyro) Model 

Calidus Gyroplanes was published in 

the Federal Register on July 24, 2015 

(80 FR 43969). One supportive comment 

was received, and the airworthiness 

design standards are adopted as 

proposed. 

Applicability 

These airworthiness design standards 

under the primary category rule are 

applicable to the Autogyro Model 

Calidus gyroplane. Should Autogyro 

wish to apply these airworthiness 

design standards to other gyroplane 

models, Autogyro must submit a new 

airworthiness design standard 

application under the primary rule 

category. 

Conclusion 

This action affects only certain 

airworthiness design standards on the 

Autogyro Model Calidus gyroplane. It is 

not a standard of general applicability 

and it affects only the applicant who 

applied to the FAA for approval of these 

features on the gyroplane. 

Citation 

The authority citation for these 

airworthiness standards is as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113 and 

44701.

[Docket No. 31038; Amdt. No. 3662] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums 

and Obstacle Departure Procedures; 

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule amends, suspends, 

or removes Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and 

associated Takeoff Minimums and 

Obstacle Departure Procedures for 

operations at certain airports. These 

regulatory actions are needed because of 

the adoption of new or revised criteria, 

or because of changes occurring in the 

National Airspace System, such as the 

commissioning of new navigational 

facilities, adding new obstacles, or 

changing air traffic requirements. These 

changes are designed to provide for the 

safe and efficient use of the navigable 

airspace and to promote safe flight 

operations under instrument flight rules 

at the affected airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective October 15, 

2015. The compliance date for each 

SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, 

and ODP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions.
