SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The FAA has established an Aviation

provide advice and recommendations to

the FAA Administrator, through the

Associated Administrator for Regulation

and Certification, on the full range of

the FAA’s rulemaking activities with

respect to aviation-related issues. One

area ARAC deals with is air carrier

operations issues. These issues involve

the operational requirements for air

carriers, including crewmember

requirements, airplane operating

performance and limitations, and

equipment requirements.

The Task

This notice informs the public that

the FAA has asked ARAC to provide

advice and recommendation on the

following task:

Extended Range Operations with TwoEngine Aircraft (ETOPS)

1. Review the existing policy and

requirements found in Advisory

Circular (AC) 120–42A, applicable

ETOPS special conditions, and policy

memorandums and notices, for

37448 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 14, 2000 / Notices

certification and operational regulations

and guidance material for ETOPS

approvals up to 180 minutes.

2. Develop comprehensive ETOPS

airworthiness standards for 14 CFR

parts 25, 33, 121, and 135, as

appropriate, to codify the existing

policies and practices.

3. Develop ETOPS requirements for

operations and excess of 180 minutes up

to whatever extent that may be justified.

Develop those requirements such that

incremental approvals up to a maximum

may be approved.

4. Develop standardized requirements

for extended range operations for all

airplanes, regardless of the number of

engines, including all turbojet and

turbopropeller commercial twin-engine

airplanes (business jets), excluding

reciprocating engine powered

commercial airplanes. This effort should

establish criteria for diversion times up

to 180 minutes that is consistent with

existing ETOPS policy and procedures.

It should also develop criteria for

diversion times beyond 180 minutes

that is consistent with the ETOPS

criteria developed by the working

group.

5. Develop additional guidance and/or

advisory material as the ARAC finds

appropriate.

6. Harmonize such standardized

requirements across national boundaries

and regulatory bodies.

7. Any proposal to increase the safety

requirements for existing ETOPS

approvals up to 207 minutes must

contain data defining the unsafe

conditions that would warrant the safety

requirements.

8. The working group will provide

briefings to the Transport Airplane and

Engine Issues group.

9. The recommendations should

consider the comments received as a

result of the April 27, 1999 and January

21, 2000 Federal Register notices.

10. Within one year of publication of

the ARAC task in the Federal Register,

submit recommendations to the FAA in

the form of a proposed rule.

Working Group Activity

The ETOPS Working Group is

expected to comply with the procedures

adopted by ARAC. As part of the

procedures, the working group is

expected to:

1. Recommend a work plan for

completion of the tasks, including the

rationale supporting such a plan, for

consideration at the meeting of ARAC to

consider air carrier operations issues

held following publication of this

notice.

2. Give a detailed conceptual

presentation of the proposed

recommendations, prior to a proceeding

with the work stated in item 3 below.

3. Draft an appropriate report.

4. Provide a status report at each

meeting of ARAC held to consider air

carrier operations issues.

Participation in the Working Group

composed of experts having an interest

in the assigned task. A working group

member need not be a representative of

a member of the full committee.

A person who has expertise in the

subject matter and wishes to become a

member of the working group should

interest in connection with the

performance of duties imposed on the
