Rules In Final Stages Of Rule- Making Process (Cont.) • National Air Tour Safety Standards • Airplane Performance and Handling Qualities in Icing Conditions • This rule was developed through the Flight Test Harmonization Working Group with FAA and JAA representation. It was harmonized with the JAA NPA 25B,E,F-332/EASA NPA 16/2004. Due to comments, some changes have been made to the proposed rules

It sets limits on the acceptable flammability exposure in tanks most prone to explosion or requires the installation of an ignition mitigation means in affected tanks. • Landing Performance Requirement For Turbojet Aircraft • Proposed as Policy Change and OpSpec now rule-making project will ask for industry input for NPRM • Similar requirements to JAR OPS
Development of NPRM or Issued NPRM Stage of Rule Making Process • 14 CFR 135 (Small Air Carriers) • Major rewrite to bring up to date • Airship rules • Increase of payload limits under 135 for cargo operations • Incorporation of some 14 CFR 125 operations • ADSB • Regulations for implementation and use • The agency is also looking at the possibility of rulemaking that would mandate the avionics necessary for implementing ADS-B across the national airspace system
