Trade Regulation Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees, 38-39 [2023-28669]

Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS 38 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 1 / Tuesday, January 2, 2024 / Proposed Rules Discussion The FAA establishes airworthiness criteria to ensure the safe operation of aircraft in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 44701(a) and 44704. VLA are eligible for type certification under 14 CFR part 23 or can be type certificated by the FAA as special class aircraft under 14 CFR 21.17(b). Under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.17(b), the airworthiness standards for special class aircraft are those the FAA finds to be appropriate and applicable to the specific type design. In 1992, the FAA published advisory circular (AC) 21.17–3,1 ‘‘Type Certification of Very Light Airplanes Under [14 CFR] 21.17(b)’’ to provide guidance on an acceptable means of compliance for type, production, and airworthiness certification for VLA. That AC designates the former Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) of Europe publication, ‘‘Joint Aviation Requirements for Very Light Aeroplanes’’ (JAR–VLA) dated April 26, 1990, as acceptable airworthiness criteria that provides an equivalent level of safety under 14 CFR 21.17(b) for FAA type certification of VLA as a special class of aircraft. After EASA was formed, EASA developed its VLA certification standards (CS–VLA) from JAR–VLA, with CS–VLA becoming effective on November 14, 2003. The FAA issued its ‘‘Policy for Type Certification of Very Light Airplanes as a Special Class of Aircraft’’ on October 11, 2023 (88 FR 70344). This policy states that the FAA will continue to allow the type certification of VLA as a special class of aircraft under 14 CFR 21.17(b) using CS–VLA or JAR–VLA requirements, while also allowing eligibility for certification as a normal category airplane in accordance with part 23 using accepted means of compliance. The FAA accepts CS–VLA and JAR–VLA airworthiness criteria as providing an equivalent level of safety under § 21.17(b) for special class type certification of VLA airplanes. The policy explains the FAA will consider proposals for airplane designs that differ from the VLA limits defined in AC 21.17–3 for type certification as a special class of aircraft under § 21.17(b), provided the VLA would be certified to the JAR–VLA or CS–VLA requirements plus additional airworthiness criteria the FAA finds appropriate and applicable for the proposed design. The policy includes additional acceptable airworthiness criteria for certain design features that differ from those defined in AC 21.17–3 and that provide an equivalent level of safety under § 21.17(b) for special class type certification of VLA airplanes. The FAA is proposing to certify the Blackshape S.p.A. Model BK160–200 VLA to CS–VLA, Amendment 1, dated March 5, 2009, with additional requirements for advanced avionic displays, VFR night operations, MTGW of 850 kg (1,874 pounds), a stall speed of 50 knots, and a rechargeable lithiumion battery. Applicability These proposed airworthiness criteria, established under the provisions of § 21.17(b), are applicable to the Blackshape S.p.A. Model BK160–200 VLA. Should Blackshape S.p.A. apply at a later date for a change to the type certificate to include another model, these airworthiness criteria would apply to that model as well, provided the FAA finds them appropriate in accordance with the requirements of subpart D to part 21. Conclusion This action affects only the airworthiness criteria for one model VLA. It is not a rule of general applicability. Authority Citation The authority citation for these airworthiness criteria is as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704. The Proposed Airworthiness Criteria The FAA proposes to establish the airworthiness criteria for type certification of the Blackshape S.p.A. Model BK160–200 as EASA Certification Specifications (CS) for Very Light Aeroplanes CS–VLA, Amendment 1, dated March 5, 2009, with additional requirements identified in ‘‘Policy for Type Certification of Very Light Airplanes as a Special Class of Aircraft’’ (88 FR 70344, October 11, 2023) for Advanced Avionic Displays, Night-VFR Operations, Increased Maximum Certificated Takeoff Weight and Increased Stall Speed, and Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery. Issued in Washington, DC, on December 22, 2023. James Wilborn, Acting Manager, Certification Coordination Section, Policy and Standards Division, Aircraft Certification Service.
