and foreign air carriers operating to,
from and within the U.S. that conduct
passenger-carrying service utilizing at
least one large aircraft to record
complaints that they receive alleging
inadequate accessibility or
discrimination on the basis of disability.
The carriers must also categorize these
complaints according to the type of
disability and nature of complaint,
prepare a summary report annually of
the complaints received during the
preceding calendar year, submit the
report to the Department’s Aviation
Consumer Protection Division, and
retain copies of correspondence and
records of action taken on the reported
complaints for three years. The rule
requires carriers to submit their annual
report via the World Wide Web except
if the carrier can demonstrate an undue
burden by doing so and receives
permission from the Department to
submit it in an alternative manner. The
first required report covered disabilityrelated complaints received by carriers
during calendar year 2004, which was
due to the Department on January 31,
2005. Carriers have been required to
submit all subsequent reports on the last
Monday in January for the prior

This notice announces the

September 1, 2004. ASTM International
Committee F37 on Light Sport Aircraft
developed the revised standards with
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
participation. By this notice, the FAA
finds the revised standards acceptable
for certification of the specified aircraft
under the provisions of the Sport Pilot

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces the availability of
eleven revised consensus standards that
supersede previously accepted
consensus standards relating to the
provisions of the Sport Pilot and LightSport Aircraft rule. ASTM International
Committee F37 on Light-Sport Aircraft
developed the revised standards. The
FAA expects a suitable consensus
standard to be reviewed periodically.
The review cycle will result in a
standard revision or reapproval. A
standard is revised to make changes to
its technical content or is reapproved to
indicate a review cycle has been
completed with no technical changes. A
standard is issued under a fixed
designation (e.g., F2245); the number
immediately following the designation
indicates the year of original adoption
or, in the case of revision, the year of
last revision. A number in parentheses
following the year of original adoption
or revision indicates the year of last
reapproval. For example, F2242–05
(2013) designates a standard that was
originally adopted (or revised) in 2005
and reapproved in 2013. A superscript
epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change
since the last revision or reapproval. A
notice of availability (NOA) will only be
issued for new or revised standards.
Reapproved standards issued with no
technical changes or standards issued
with editorial changes only (i.e.,
superscript epsilon [e]) are considered
accepted by the FAA without need for
an NOA.
Comments Invited: Interested persons
are invited to submit such written data,
views, or arguments, as they may desire.
Communications should identify the
consensus standard number and be
submitted to the address specified
above. All communications received on
or before the closing date for comments
will be forwarded to ASTM
International Committee F37 for
consideration. The standard may be

changed in light of the comments
received. The FAA will address all
comments received during the recurring
review of the consensus standard and
will participate in the consensus
standard revision process.
Background: Under the provisions of
the Sport Pilot and Light-Sport Aircraft
rule, and revised Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Circular A–119,
‘‘Federal Participation in the
Development and Use of Voluntary
Consensus Standards and in Conformity
Assessment Activities’’, dated February
10, 1998, industry and the FAA have
been working with ASTM International
to develop consensus standards for
light-sport aircraft. These consensus
standards satisfy the FAA’s goal for
airworthiness certification and a
verifiable minimum safety level for
light-sport aircraft. Instead of
developing airworthiness standards
through the rulemaking process, the
FAA participates as a member of
Committee F37 in developing these
standards. The use of the consensus
standard process assures government
and industry discussion and agreement
on appropriate standards for the
required level of safety.
Comments on Previous Notices of
Availability
In the Notice of Availability (NOA)
issued on February 21, 2014, and
published in the Federal Register on
February 27, 2014 the FAA asked for
public comments on the new and
revised consensus standards accepted
by that NOA. The comment period
closed on April 28, 2014. No public
comments were received regarding the
standards accepted by this NOA.
Consensus Standards in This Notice of
Availability
The FAA has reviewed the standards
presented in this NOA for compliance
with the regulatory requirements of the
rule. Any light-sport aircraft issued a
special light-sport airworthiness
certificate, which has been designed,
manufactured, operated and
maintained, in accordance with this and
previously accepted ASTM consensus
standards provides the public with the
appropriate level of safety established
under the regulations. Manufacturers
who choose to produce these aircraft
and certificate these aircraft under 14
CFR 21.190 or 21.191 are subject to the
applicable consensus standard
requirements. The FAA maintains a
listing of all accepted standards on the
FAA Web site.

The Revised Consensus Standard and
Effective Period of Use
The following previously accepted
consensus standards have been revised,
and this NOA is accepting the later
revision. Either the previous revision or
the later revision may be used for the
initial certification of special light-sport
aircraft until October 15, 2015. This
overlapping period of time will allow
aircraft that have started the initial
certification process using the previous
revision level to complete that process.
After October 15, 2015, manufacturers
must use the later revision and must
identify the later revision in the
Statement of Compliance for initial
certification of special light-sport
aircraft unless the FAA publishes a
specific notification otherwise. The
