on how to make safe weather flying decisions.
The GAJSC combines the expertise of many
key decision makers across different parts of the
FAA, various government agencies and several GA
associations. The other federal agencies are National
Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the National
Transportation Safety Board (as an observer). Industry
participants include the Aircraft Owners and Pilots
Association, Experimental Aircraft Association, General
Aviation Manufacturers Association, National Business
Aviation Association, National Air Transportation
Association and others.
Aircraft Design
The FAA is working with
industry and other civil aviation
authorities to develop a
performance-based approach to
airworthiness standards for Part
23 airplanes. These airplanes
range from small pistonpowered airplanes to complex
high-performance executive jets.
The goal is to set an international
standard that advances the introduction
of new technology and reduces fatal
accidents and certification costs by 50 percent.
Recommendations are being developed by a 55-member
rulemaking committee that includes representatives from
the FAA, European Aviation Safety Agency, National Civil
Aviation Agency of Brazil, Civil Aviation Administration
of China, Transport Canada, Civil Aviation Authority of
New Zealand, several airplane and avionics manufacturers,
and industry groups. The committee expects to finalize
recommendations in 2013.
The FAA also is working with manufacturers to build
stall resistance into aircraft through the use of improved
aerodynamics, limited pitch control capability and sensed
angle of attack to better inform the pilot. This work has
contributed to the production of autopilots that provide
automatic limiting to help prevent loss of control.

New Technology
The FAA is working with manufacturers to define
equipage requirements and support NextGen by streamlining
the certification and installation of NextGen technologies.
The introduction of automatic dependent surveillancebroadcast enhances GA pilots’ awareness of other traffic
and improves safety in areas that radar cannot reach, such
as Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico. The FAA is clarifying
the role of datalink weather in GA operations and the use of
portable equipment. Other efforts focus on icing “forecast
and avoid” and “detect and escape.”
New technologies, such as inflatable restraints,
ballistic parachutes, weather in the cockpit,
angle of attack indicators and terrain
avoidance equipment could significantly
reduce GA fatalities. Inflatable
restraints and angle of attack
indicators have the greatest likelihood
of significantly improving safety.
The FAA has streamlined
the approval of angle of attack
indicators for GA aircraft and is
working to promote the retrofit of
the existing fleet. Angle of attack
indicators provide the pilot with a visual
aid to prevent loss of control of the aircraft
in the critical phases of flight. Previously, cost and
complexity of indicators limited their use to the military
and commercial aircraft. The FAA also is streamlining the
certification and installation of inflatable restraints (air
bags) with the goal of making all GA aircraft eligible for
installation.
Engagement & Outreach
Airman Testing Standards and Training. To keep
pace with advances in technology and educational
training methods, the FAA chartered the Airman Testing
Standards and Training Aviation Rulemaking Committee
in September 2011 to engage stakeholders to recommend
