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 these
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 the latest FAA
accepted standards specific to special
light-sport aircraft and information on
previously accepted standards on the
FAA Light-Sport Aircraft 1 Web site. The
FAA is working on a separate general
listing of standards accepted by the FAA
that have or may have applicability to
other types of certifications. This
general listing will also include the FAA
accepted standards specific to special
light-sport aircraft. When available, a
link will be placed on the FAA LightSport Aircraft 2 Web site.
Prior to this NOA the listing of the
FAA accepted standards specific to
special light-sport aircraft included
standards for gyroplanes and electric
propulsion units. Including these
standards on this listing could have
caused confusion given the applicability
statement in 14 CFR 21.190 and the
definition of light-sport aircraft in 14
CFR 1.1, even though explanatory notes
are provided with the listing. To prevent
confusion, the revised listing of the FAA
accepted standards specific to special
light-sport aircraft associated with this
NOA no longer includes the standards
for gyroplanes and electric propulsion
units. Instead, the gyroplane and
electric propulsion unit standards will
appear on the general listing of
standards accepted by the FAA. The
gyroplane and electric propulsion unit
standards will be included on the listing
of the FAA accepted standards specific
to special light-sport aircraft at a later
date, if the applicability statement in 14
CFR 21.190 and the definition of lightsport aircraft in 14 CFR 1.1 are revised
accordingly.
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 airworthiness certification of

special light-sport aircraft until October
3, 2017. This overlapping period of time
will allow aircraft that have started the
initial airworthiness certification
process using the previous revision
level to complete that process. After
October 3, 2017, manufacturers must
use the later revision and must identify
the later revision in the Statement of
Compliance for initial airworthiness
certification of special light-sport
aircraft unless the FAA publishes a
specific notification otherwise. The
following Consensus Standards may not
be used after October 3, 2017:
ASTM Designation F2245–14, titled:
Standard Specification for Design and
Performance of a Light Sport Airplane.
ASTM Designation F2317/F2317M–

Design of Weight-Shift-Control Aircraft.

The Consensus Standards
The FAA finds the following new and
revised consensus standards acceptable
for initial airworthiness certification of
the specified aircraft under the
provisions of the Sport Pilot and LightSport Aircraft rule. The following
consensus standards become effective
April 3, 2017 and may be used unless
the FAA publishes a specific
notification otherwise:

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces that it
is reviewing a proposed noise
compatibility program that was
submitted for Westfield-Barnes Regional
Airport under the the Aviation Safety
and Noise Abatement Act (hereinafter
referred to as ‘‘the Act’’) and federal
regulations by the City of Westfield.
This program was submitted subsequent
to a determination by FAA that
associated noise exposure maps
submitted under 14 CFR part 150 for
Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport were
in compliance with applicable
requirements, effective December 22,
2015. The proposed noise compatibility
program will be approved or
disapproved on or before September 9,
2017.
DATES: The effective date of the start of
FAA’s review of the noise compatibility

program is March 13, 2017. The public
comment period ends May 12, 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Richard Doucette, Federal Aviation
Administration, New England Region
Airports Division, 1200 District Ave.,
Burlington, MA 01803. Comments on
the proposed noise compatibility
program should also be submitted to the
above office.
This
notice announces that the FAA is
reviewing a proposed noise
compatibility program for WestfieldBarnes Regional Airport which will be
approved or disapproved on or before
September 9, 2017. This notice also
announces the availability of this
program for public review and
comment. An airport operator who has
submitted noise exposure maps that are
found by FAA to be in compliance with
the requirements of Federal Aviation
Regulations (FAR) Part 150,
promulgated pursuant to the Act (49
U.S.C. 47504 et. seq), may submit a
noise compatibility program for FAA
approval which sets forth the measures
the operator has taken or proposes to
reduce existing non-compatible uses
and prevent the introduction of
additional non-compatible uses.
The FAA has formally received the
noise compatibility program for
Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport,
effective on March 13, 2017. The airport
operator has requested that the FAA
review this material and that the noise
mitigation measures, to be implemented
jointly by the airport and surrounding
communities, be approved as a noise
compatibility program under section
47504 of the Act. Preliminary review of
the submitted material indicates that it
conforms to FAR Part 150 requirements
for the submittal of noise compatibility
programs, but that further review will be
necessary prior to approval or
disapproval of the program. The formal
review period, limited by law to a
maximum of 180 days, will be
completed on or before September 9,
2017.
The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be
conducted under the provisions of 14
CFR part 150, section 150.33. The
primary considerations in the
evaluation process are whether the
proposed measures may reduce the level
of aviation safety or create an undue
burden on interstate or foreign
commerce, and whether they are
reasonably consistent with obtaining the
goal of reducing existing noncompatible land uses and preventing the
introduction of additional noncompatible land uses.
