DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Aviation Rulemaking Advisory 

Committee; Engine Bird Ingestion 

Requirements—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 ARAC a 

new task to review and assess the 

adequacy of certain portions of the 

existing engine bird ingestion 

requirements. This notice is to inform 

the public of this ARAC activity. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Alan Strom, Rulemaking and Policy 

Branch, ANE–111, Engine and Propeller 

Directorate, FAA, 12 New England 

Executive Park, Burlington,

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. This includes 

obtaining advice and recommendations 

on the FAA’s commitments to 

harmonize FAA Regulations with its 

partners in Europe and Canada. 

Amendment 33–20, adopted 

September 5, 2000, revised the bird 

ingestion type certification standards for 

aircraft turbine engines to better address 

the actual bird threat encountered in 

service. These requirements were 

adopted, in part, as a response to 

National Transportation Safety Board 

(NTSB) safety recommendation A–76– 

64. The NTSB recommended increasing 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 46 / Friday, March 8, 2013 / Notices 15111 

the level of bird ingestion capability for 

aircraft engines. Amendment 33–23, 

adopted October 17, 2007, added 

requirements to address larger flocking 

birds, mass greater then 1.15 kg (2.5 

pounds), since existing engine 

certification requirements did not 

specifically address the threat that these 

size birds, or their growing population, 

present to airplane operational safety. 

Medium bird ingestion criteria for small 

engines were established consistent 

with corresponding criteria for medium 

and large engines, which is freedom 

from multiengine power loss events at a 

rate of 1E–8 per aircraft cycle. The 

objective of the ARAC task is to evaluate 

whether the requirements for small and 

medium bird core ingestion and the 

large flocking bird requirements for 

engines with 1.35m2-2.5m2 inlet areas 

should be revised. 

The Task 

Review and assess the standards and 

advisory material for bird ingestion 

requirements as follows: 

1. Evaluate the core ingestion element 

of small and medium bird requirements 

to determine if the intended safety 

objective of the current rule is adequate. 

Consider the threat from large flocking 

bird species in this assessment. Identify 

any deficiencies in the current rule, and 

provide the FAA with recommendations 

for changes as appropriate. 

2. Evaluate large flocking bird 

requirements, to determine the need for 

new large flocking bird requirements, or 

advisory material, or both, for Class D 

engines (1.35m2–2.5m2 inlet areas). 

Identify any deficiencies of the current 

rule, and provide the FAA with 

recommendations for changes as 

appropriate. 

3. Review and consider the following 

related National Transportation Safety 

Board (NTSB) safety recommendations 

when evaluating items 1 and 2 above: 

a. ‘‘A–10–64: Modify the 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations § 33.76(c) small and 

medium flocking bird certification test 

standard to require that the test be 

conducted using the lowest expected 

fan speed, instead of 100-percent fan 

speed, for the minimum climb rate.’’ 

b. ‘‘A–10–65: During the birdingestion rulemaking database (BRDB) 

working group‘s reevaluation of the 

current engine bird-ingestion 

certification regulations, specifically 

reevaluate the 14 Code of Federal 

Regulations § 33.76(d) large flocking 

bird certification test standards to 

determine whether they should: (1) 

Apply to engines with an inlet area of 

less than 3,875 square inches and (2) 

Include a requirement for engine core 

ingestion. If the BRDB working group‘s 

reevaluation determines that such 

requirements are needed, incorporate 

them into 14 CFR § 33.76(d) and require 

that newly certificated engines be 

designed and tested to these 

requirements.’’ 

4. Define an industry led process for 

periodic update and review of engine 

bird ingestion data, such that industry 

and the authorities can maintain an 

awareness of the bird threat experienced 

in service. 

Tasks 1 through 4 above should 

consider the Aerospace Industries 

Association engine bird ingestion 

database recently updated in 

coordination with FAA and the 

European Aviation Safety Agency. That 

database update was in response to the 

US Air Flight 1549 Hudson River 

accident in January 2009 and related 

NTSB safety recommendations. 

The final ARAC report should include 

a summary of the overall work scope, 

conclusions and rationale for all 

recommendations related to the above 

tasks. 

Schedule: Required completion is no 

later than March 31, 2015. 

ARAC Acceptance of Task 

ARAC accepted the task and will 

establish the Engine Harmonization 

Working Group (EHWG), under the 

Transport Airplane and Engine 

Subcommittee (TAE). The working 

group will serve as staff to ARAC and 

assist ARAC in the analysis of the 

assigned tasks. ARAC must review and 

approve the working group’s 

recommendations. If ARAC accepts the 

working group’s recommendations, it 

will forward them to the FAA. 

Working Group Activity 

The EHWG must comply with the 

procedures adopted by ARAC. As part 

of the procedures, the working group 

must: 

1. Recommend a work plan for 

completion of the task, including the 

rationale supporting such a plan for 

consideration by the subcommittee. 

2. Conduct a review and analysis of 

the assigned tasks. 

3. Draft the recommendation report 

based on the review and analysis of the 

tasks and any other related materials or 

documents. 

4. Present the recommendation at a 

subcommittee meeting. 

5. Provide a status report at each 

meeting of the ARAC. 

Participation in the Working Group 

The EHWG will be composed of 

technical experts having an interest in 

the assigned task. A working group 

member need not be a representative or 

a member of ARAC. If you have 

expertise in the subject matter and wish 

to become a member of the working 

group, write to the person listed under 

the caption FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT expressing that desire. Describe 

your interest in the task and state the 

expertise you would bring to the 

working group. We must receive all 

requests by April 5, 2013. The 

Subcommittee Chair, the FAA 

Representative, and the Working Group 

Co-Chairs will review the requests and 

advise you whether or not your request 

is approved. 

If you are chosen for membership on 

the working group, you must represent 

your aviation community segment and 

actively participate in the working 

group by attending all meetings, and 

providing written comments when 

requested to do so. You must devote the 

resources necessary to support the 

working group in meeting any assigned 

deadlines. You must keep your 

management chain and those you may 

represent advised of working group 

activities and decisions to ensure that 

the proposed technical solutions do not 

conflict with the position of those you 

represent when the proposed 

recommendations are presented to the 

Subcommittee and ARAC for approval. 

Once the working group has begun 

deliberations, members will not be 

added or substituted without the 

approval of the Subcommittee Chair, 

FAA Representatives, including the 

Designated Federal Officer, and the 

working group. 

The Secretary of Transportation 

determined that the formation and use 

of ARAC is necessary and in the public 

interest in connection with the 

performance of duties imposed on the 

FAA by law. 

ARAC meetings are open to the 

public. Meetings of the EHWG will not 

be open to the public, except to the 

extent individuals with an interest and 

expertise are selected to participate. The 

FAA will make no public 

announcement of working group 

meetings.
