H. Regulatory Review - Part/CS 23 Reorganization Rulemaking - Part/CS 27 & 29 Certification Process Study
Part-23 Reorganization • Recognizes That Rules Must be Tailored to Product Characteristics to Maximize Safety Benefits • A single level of safety and certitude are not applicable across all aircraft and operations • Striking the right balance between risk and certification requirements is critical to enabling new safety technology
Small Airplane Revitalization Act of 2013 • Directs FAA to Enact Spirit of Part 23 Reorganization ARC by December 31st 2015 • H.R. 1848 Passed in July - 411 to 0 Vote • S.1072 Moving Through Senate

Separating Safety Requirements from Methods of Compliance Extract intent of rule and rewrite into new high level rule. International Aviation Community EASA • Systems & Equipment • Technical Solutions that meet standards • Test specifications • Specific compliance methods NewCS 23 • Powerplant: Engine Installation • Technical Solutions that meet standards • Test specifications • Specific compliance methods Current CS 23 • Structures: Design Loads & Conditions • Technical Solutions that meet standards • Test specifications • Specific compliance methods EASA Acceptance • Structures General • Technical Solutions that meet standards • Test specifications • Specific compliance methods • Flight Characteristics, Performance, & Operating Limits • Technical Solutions that meet standards • Test specifications • Specific compliance methods High-level requirements. (safety driven) NO technical solutions prescribed No tiers or categories Detailed Design Standards - Tiered where it makes sense - Contains detailed compliance requirements - Current CS/Part 23 used as a starting basis Reorganise technical requirements in design standards documents.
