Federal Aviation Administration Part 27/29 Regulations Global Rotorcraft Industry & Authority Meeting HAI Heli-Expo 2014 By: Jorge Castillo FAA/Rotorcraft Regulations & Policy Anaheim, CA March 24, 2014
11
11 Federal Aviation Administration 3 Phase Approach ‣ Certification Process Study (CPS) ‣ Charter an Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) ‣ FAA Rulemaking/Formalize Industry Standards
12
12 Federal Aviation Administration Background – The State of the Regulations No significant updates to the Part 27 & 29 standards in over 20 years Technology advancements have outpaced our Part 27 & 29 standards Seeking ways to promote technology that can enhance rotorcraft safety Preparing our standards for the future rotorcraft
13
13 Federal Aviation Administration Background (Continued) Federal Register (FR) Notice published - Feb. 2013 Solicited industry’s level of interest & input on ways to revamp Part 27 & 29 standards Comment period closed - June 2013 Wide industry consensus to revamp Parts 27 & 29. ‣ Coordination with other Authorities (EASA, TCCA, etc.) ‣ Industry participation in making recommendations to Authorities ‣ Industry willingness to commit resources to this effort
14
14 Federal Aviation Administration Certification Process Study (CPS) - Proposed FAA outreach to other Authorities (TCCA & EASA) Initiate an industry review of the airworthiness & operation regulations and identify areas of improvement. Develop working groups with industry to provide recommendations not limited to regulations. Operations, maintenance, existing fleet and pilot training, among others will be included. The first of two meetings will be convened this year The completion of this phase is expected within 18 – 24 months ~ 2016 Output is report with recommendations
15
15 Federal Aviation Administration Charter an ARC Review CPS recommendations For rulemaking recommendations, charter an ARC Multi-year effort Output is report with proposed rulemaking language Completion of this phase is expected within 24 - 36 months ~ 2019 Face to face meeting every other month (initially)
16
16 Federal Aviation Administration Formalize Industry Standards Associated certification guidance to be developed using Part 23 process model Current model utilized by Part 23 effort The ARC recommendations are basis of review Each system is broken down into sub-committees Create Method of Compliance (MOC) documents (i.e. consensus standards) Completion of this phase is expected within 3 years ~ 2019 Face-to-face meeting twice yearly (full committee) Face to face meeting every quarter (sub-committees)
