Update on Part 23 Jet & CS-23 High Performance Aeroplane Issues Aircraft Certification Workshop
Issues • Scope Differences • Generic VIs & Standard Differences • Current Projects • Suspended Projects
Scope Differences • FAA has found that Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 23 does not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for jet airplanes. • EASA has found that Certification Specification CS-23 does not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for high performance aeroplanes
Scope Differences • FAA is applying part 23 jet policy. • Single-engine Normal, Utility and Acrobatic Category • 12500 lbs or less • 9 passengers or less • Multi-engine Normal, Utility and Acrobatic Category • 6000 lbs or less • 9 passengers or less • Multi-engine Normal, Utility and Acrobatic Category • 12500 lbs or less but greater than 6000 lbs • 9 passengers or less • Multi-engine Commuter Category • 19000 lbs or less • 19 passengers of less
Scope Differences • EASA is developing a “Basic Set of CRIs”, also including (generic) CRIs applying to CS-23 high performance airplanes (HPA) • MD≥ Mach 0.6 • Service ceiling > 25,000 ft • EASA generic CRIs are not limited to jets. • Out of the “Basic Set of CRIs” CRIs will only be applied as required depending on specific design of the airplane.
Generic VIs & Standards Differences • FAA Generic VIs & Standard Differences • 12 generic VIs corresponding to 11 significant standard differences and one different acceptable means of compliance. • 3 Non-significant standard differences. • Developed and first published on FAA website in April 2005 time frame.
Generic VIs & Standards Differences • FAA has developed an unofficial part 23 jet guide to help ACOs in type certification • Based on experience of certificating small jets since 1958. • Core requirements for jets goes back 30+ years. • We are now at 39 pages of special conditions for Normal category multi-engine jets • 12500 lbs or less but greater than 6000 lbs • 9 passengers or less
Generic VIs & Standards Differences • EASA is in the process of developing these lists. • Basic Set of CRIs”, Current status: • 19 Generic CRIs calling up Special Conditions are released • 7 CRIs calling up AMC / GM for HPA are released • 14 Generic CRIs calling up Special Conditions are under discussion (of which 11 are the split up of the typical single CRI for Flight Items) • 2 CRIs calling up AMC / GM for HPA are under discussion. • 27 Standard CRIs applied based on new technology to all CS-23 airplanes (HIRF, Software, etc.) • Note: Only a limited number of CRIs will be applied as required depending on specific design of airplane
Part 23 Jet Project Status • The FAA has 11 open certification projects for light jets • 9 currently active • 2 suspended • The designs range from an under 6,000-pound, single-engine jet to twin‑engine, commuter category jets. • Other manufacturers are developing jet designs and depending on viability, there may be as many as eighteen additional light jet type certification projects. • Many of the US based firms are, or will be, seeking EASA validation.
Part 23 Jet Project Status • Six US based firms have applied for EASA validation. • The current or anticipated FAA/EASA validation projects are: • Cessna Aircraft Company—Citation CitationJet CJ4. • Eclipse Aircraft—Model 500. • Honda—HondaJet. • Projects that have suspended EASA validation efforts: • Aviation Technology Group—Model 100 (Javelin). • Adam Aircraft—Model 700. • Spectrum Aeronautical—Model 33 and Model 40.
CS-23 HPA Project Status • EASA has one commuter category jet from an which is seeking FAA validation. • Grob Aerospace—G180A, (Germany).
