Points To Note

¨ 27 Nov – Obama Signs Small Airplane Revitalization Act of 2013

Requires FAA to Implement Recommendations of CS/Part 23 ARC by 15 December 2015

Part 27/29 Regulations

Global Rotorcraft Industry & Authority Meeting HAI Heli-Expo 2014

By: Jorge CastilloFAA/Rotorcraft Regulations & Policy

Anaheim, CAMarch 24, 2014

11Federal AviationAdministration

3 Phase Approach

‣ Certification Process Study (CPS)

‣ Charter an Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC)

‣ FAA Rulemaking/Formalize Industry Standards

12Federal AviationAdministration

Background – The State of the Regulations

• No significant updates to the Part 27 & 29 standards in over 20 years

• Technology advancements have outpaced our Part 27 & 29 standards

• Seeking ways to promote technology that can enhance rotorcraft safety

• Preparing our standards for the future rotorcraft

13Federal AviationAdministration

Background (Continued)

• Federal Register (FR) Notice published - Feb. 2013

• Solicited industry’s level of interest & input on ways to revamp Part 27 & 29 standards

• Comment period closed - June 2013

• Wide industry consensus to revamp Parts 27 & 29.‣ Coordination with other Authorities (EASA, TCCA, etc.)‣ Industry participation in making recommendations to

Authorities‣ Industry willingness to commit resources to this effort

14Federal AviationAdministration

Certification Process Study (CPS) - Proposed

FAA outreach to other Authorities (TCCA & EASA)

Initiate an industry review of the airworthiness & operation regulations and identify areas of improvement.

Develop working groups with industry to provide recommendations not limited to regulations.

Operations, maintenance, existing fleet and pilot training, among others will be included.

The first of two meetings will be convened this year

The completion of this phase is expected within 18 – 24 months ~ 2016

Output is report with recommendations

15Federal AviationAdministration

Charter an ARC

Review CPS recommendations

For rulemaking recommendations, charter an ARC

Multi-year effort

Output is report with proposed rulemaking language

Completion of this phase is expected within 24 - 36 months ~ 2019

Face to face meeting every other month (initially)

16Federal AviationAdministration

Formalize Industry Standards

Associated certification guidance to be developed using Part 23 process model

Current model utilized by Part 23 effort

The ARC recommendations are basis of review

Each system is broken down into sub-committees

Create Method of Compliance (MOC) documents (i.e. consensus standards)

Completion of this phase is expected within 3 years ~ 2019

Face-to-face meeting twice yearly (full committee)

Face to face meeting every quarter (sub-committees)

TPC Meeting | April 30 – May 1, 2014 GAMA | Washington, DC

Initial Position on CS-27/29 Efforts

¨ EASA Resources Strained Until 2016¨ Unable to Begin Additional Rulemaking

Efforts¨ Critical to Remain Harmoniz(s)ed with FAA
