AEA commends
FAA on release
of Part 23 rule
Following the Dec. 16 announcement in
Washington, D.C., by the Federal Aviation
Administration that it has completed its work
on the Part 23 rulemaking effort to overhaul the
airworthiness standards for small general aviation
airplanes, Aircraft Electronics Association President
Paula Derks issued the following statement.
"The Aircraft Electronics Association
commends the FAA for completing its work
on the Part 23 rulemaking effort," Derks said.
"While the rulemaking's primary focus is a
proactive shift to proportional and objectivebased rules within the Part 23 framework
that will have a significant effect on the
next generation of general aviation
aircraft, the retrofit industry has already
benefited from this long-awaited shift to
proportional rulemaking.
"There are many elements to this decadelong rulemaking effort that deserve comment,
but one of the most important is the concept
and application of a safety continuum. In
particular, the application of the safety continuum
in certification of retrofit products that are bringing
safety-enhancing technology into the light general
aviation cockpit at a price that is appropriate for
these older aircraft.
"Examples of this proportional and objectivebased rulemaking include the recent application
of this philosophy with products manufactured
by Garmin and the retrofit STC by the
Experimental Aircraft Association for attitude
indicator replacements. Without the fundamental
change in philosophy brought about by the Part
23 rulemaking effort, these products would not
have been possible.
"The AEA believes that this is a significant
breakthrough and looks forward to the expansion
of these philosophies into rotorcraft as well as
transport category aircraft, where appropriate." q

FAA issues final
medical rule for
general aviation

On Jan. 10, the Federal Aviation
Administration issued a final rule that allows
airmen to exercise pilot in command privileges
in certain aircraft without holding a current
medical certificate.
According to the agency, this rule, which
conforms FAA regulations with legislation, is
intended to ensure that pilots who complete a
medical education course, meet certain medical
requirements, and comply with aircraft and
operating restrictions are allowed to act as
pilot in command for most Part 91
operations.
"The United States has the
world's most robust general
aviation community,
and we're committed to
continuing to make it
safer and more efficient
to become a private pilot,"
said FAA Administrator
Michael Huerta. "The
BasicMed rule will keep our pilots
safe but will simplify our regulations and
keep general aviation flying affordable."
The FAA noted that beginning May 1,
pilots may take advantage of the regulatory
relief in the BasicMed rule or opt to continue
to use their FAA medical certificate. Under
BasicMed, a pilot will be required to complete
a medical education course, undergo a medical
examination every four years, and comply
with aircraft and operating restrictions. For
example, pilots using BasicMed cannot operate
an aircraft with more than six people onboard
and the aircraft must not weigh more than 6,000
pounds.
The final rule is available online at www.
