Issues

• Scope Differences
• Generic VIs Standard Differences
• Current Projects
• Suspended Projects

3
Scope Differences

• FAA has found that Title 14 Code of Federal
  Regulations (14 CFR) part 23 does not contain
  adequate or appropriate safety standards for jet
  airplanes.
• EASA has found that Certification Specification
  CS-23 does not contain adequate or appropriate
  safety standards for high performance aeroplanes

4
Scope Differences

• FAA is applying part 23 jet policy.
• Single-engine Normal, Utility and Acrobatic
  Category
  
• 12500 lbs or less
• 9 passengers or less
• Multi-engine Normal, Utility and Acrobatic
  Category
  
• 6000 lbs or less
• 9 passengers or less
• Multi-engine Normal, Utility and Acrobatic
  Category
  
• 12500 lbs or less but greater than 6000 lbs
• 9 passengers or less
• Multi-engine Commuter Category
• 19000 lbs or less
• 19 passengers of less

5
Scope Differences

• EASA is developing a Basic Set of CRIs, also
  including (generic) CRIs applying to CS-23 high
  performance airplanes (HPA)
  
• MD Mach 0.6
• Service ceiling 25,000 ft
• EASA generic CRIs are not limited to jets.
• Out of the Basic Set of CRIs CRIs will only be
  applied as required depending on specific design
  of the airplane.

6
Generic VIs Standards Differences

• FAA Generic VIs Standard Differences
• 12 generic VIs corresponding to 11 significant
  standard differences and one different acceptable
  means of compliance.
  
• 3 Non-significant standard differences.
• Developed and first published on FAA website in
  April 2005 time frame.

7
Generic VIs Standards Differences

• FAA has developed an unofficial part 23 jet guide
  to help ACOs in type certification
  
• Based on experience of certificating small jets
  since 1958.
  
• Core requirements for jets goes back 30 years.
• We are now at 39 pages of special conditions for
  Normal category multi-engine jets
  
• 12500 lbs or less but greater than 6000 lbs
• 9 passengers or less

8
Generic VIs Standards Differences

• EASA is in the process of developing these lists.
  
  
• Basic Set of CRIs, Current status
• 19 Generic CRIs calling up Special Conditions are
  released
  
• 7 CRIs calling up AMC / GM for HPA are released
• 14 Generic CRIs calling up Special Conditions are
  under discussion (of which 11 are the split up of
  the typical single CRI for Flight Items)
  
• 2 CRIs calling up AMC / GM for HPA are under
  discussion.
  
• 27 Standard CRIs applied based on new technology
  to all CS-23 airplanes (HIRF, Software, etc.)
  
• Note Only a limited number of CRIs will be
  applied as required depending on specific design
  of airplane

9
Part 23 Jet Project Status

• The FAA has 11 open certification projects for
  light jets
  
• 9 currently active
• 2 suspended
• The designs range from an under 6,000-pound,
  single-engine jet to twin-engine, commuter
  category jets.
  
• Other manufacturers are developing jet designs
  and depending on viability, there may be as many
  as eighteen additional light jet type
  certification projects.
• Many of the US based firms are, or will be,
  seeking EASA validation.

10
Part 23 Jet Project Status

• Six US based firms have applied for EASA
  validation.
  
• The current or anticipated FAA/EASA validation
  projects are
  
• Cessna Aircraft CompanyCitation CitationJet
  CJ4.
  
• Eclipse AircraftModel 500.
• HondaHondaJet.
• Projects that have suspended EASA validation
  efforts
  
• Aviation Technology GroupModel 100 (Javelin).
• Adam AircraftModel 700.
• Spectrum AeronauticalModel 33 and Model 40.

11
CS-23 HPA Project Status

• EASA has one commuter category jet from an which
  is seeking FAA validation.
