“Streamlining the design and certification process could provide a cost-efficient way to build simple airplanes that still incorporate the latest in safety innovations,” says US Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.
EASA has played a major part in an FAA Aviation Rulemaking Committee in Washington which has recommended wholesale regulatory changes to improve the safety of general aviation aircraft while reducing certification and modification costs. IAOPA will be pressing for similar measures to be adopted in Europe. The FAA-led international committee was asked to examine the existing standards for the design and certification of aircraft ranging from small piston-powered airplanes to high-performance business jets. They recommend changes in design, production, maintenance and safety requirements and identify ways to streamline the certification process, making it cheaper and easier for manufacturers to incorporate safety improvements, allow for upgrades to the existing fleet, and provide flexibility to incorporate future technological enhancements. The ARC recommends that compliance be based on the complexity and performance of an aircraft instead of simply weight and type of propulsion. Under existing requirements small, relatively simple planes have to meet the same regulations as complex aircraft.
“These changes have the potential to save money and maintain our safety standing – a winwin situation for manufacturers, pilots and the general aviation community as a whole.” Differences of opinion among European regulators are threatening to make the problems faced by owners of older Cessna singles even more acute, and may effectively write off such aircraft if no solution can be found. 100 and 200 series aircraft manufactured before 1986 are subject to a Cessna Supplemental Inspection Document (SID) which calls for, among other things, corrosion inspections involving in some cases the removal of the wings. In America, the SIDs are not mandatory for private aircraft, and EASA More information visit – www.faa.gov and
