Description
Under an FAA notice of proposed rulemaking, normal- and transport-category certification regulations would be extensively amended and updated to “address modern designs currently used in the rotorcraft industry and would reduce the burden on applicants for certification of new rotorcraft designs.” The proposed changes also would reduce or eliminate the need for certain special conditions currently required to obtain certification of modern rotorcraft. The proposed changes would also incorporate the requirements of “equivalent level of safety findings” that the FAA has imposed as conditions for approving certain design features. Comments are due Jan. 30, 2018.
