adopted by ARAC. As part of the

procedures, the working group is

expected to:

1. Recommend a work plan for

consideration at the meeting of ARAC to

consider Transport Airplane and Engine

Issues held following the publication of

this notice.

2. Give a detailed conceptual

presentation of the proposed

recommendations, prior to proceeding

with the work stated in item 3 below.

3. For each task, draft appropriate

regulatory documents with supporting

economic and other required analyses,

and/or any other related guidance

material or collateral documents the

working group determines to be

appropriate; or, if new or revised

requirements or compliance methods

are not recommended, a draft report

stating the rationale for not making such

recommendations.

4. Provide a status report at each

meeting of ARAC held to consider

Group (AWOHWG) on changes to

operational concepts, requirements,

rules, and advisory materials that would

affect airworthiness requirements to

ensure consistency between proposed

changes to part 25 rules and advisory

materials. Inform the AWOHWG of

potential operational implications to

proposed part 25 amendments.

2. Coordinate with other working

groups to harmonize requirements

related to the effects of automatic flight

control systems on the loads and

dynamics of the airplane.

composed of experts having an interest
