The Proposed Amendment In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration proposes to amend Chapter I of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, as follows: PART 25—AIRWORTHINESS STANDARDS: TRANSPORT CATEGORY AIRPLANES 1. The authority citation for part 25 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702 and 44704. 2. Revise § 25.1322 to read as follows: rmajette on DSK29S0YB1 with PROPOSALS § 25.1322 Flightcrew alerting. (a) Flightcrew alerts must: (1) For warning and caution alerts, provide timely attention-getting cues through at least two different senses by a combination of aural, visual, or tactile indications. (2) Provide the flightcrew with the information needed to identify the alert and determine the correct action, if any. (3) Be readily and easily detectable and intelligible by the flightcrew under all foreseeable operating conditions, including conditions where multiple alerts are provided. (b) Alerts must conform to the following prioritization hierarchy based upon urgency of flightcrew awareness and urgency of flightcrew response. (1) Warning: For conditions that require immediate flightcrew awareness and immediate flightcrew response. (2) Caution: For conditions that require immediate flightcrew awareness and less urgent flightcrew response. (3) Advisory: For conditions that require flightcrew awareness and may require subsequent flightcrew response. (c) Alert presentation means must be designed to minimize nuisance effects. In particular a flightcrew alerting system must: (1) Permit each occurrence of attention getting cues to be acknowledged and suppressed unless they are otherwise required to be continuous. (2) Prevent the presentation of an alert that is inappropriate or unnecessary. (3) Remove the presentation of the alert when the condition no longer exists. (4) Provide a means to suppress an attention getting component of an alert caused by a failure of the alerting system that interferes with the flightcrew’s ability to safely operate the airplane. This means must not be VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:18 Jul 08, 2009 Jkt 217001 readily available to the flight crew such that it could be operated inadvertently, or by habitual reflexive action. In this case, there must be a clear and unmistakable annunciation to the flight crew that the alert has been suppressed. (d) Visual alert indications that are shown on multicolor displays must conform to the following color convention: (1) Red for warning alert indications. (2) Amber or yellow for caution alert indications. (3) Any color except red, amber, yellow, or green for advisory alert indications. (e) Visual alert indications shown on monochromatic displays must use display coding techniques such that the flightcrew can clearly distinguish between warning, caution, and advisory alert categories. (f) The colors red, amber, or yellow are normally reserved for alerting functions. The use of these colors for functions other than flightcrew alerting must be limited and must not adversely affect flightcrew alerting. Issued in Washington, DC, on July 2, 2009. K.C.
