In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in general aviation airplanes and helicopters, the FAA has taken further steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the end user. Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to through arduous certification processes, making the barriers of bringing new equipment to market very expensive.
New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment
Key Takeaways:
- The FAA introduced the Approval of Non-Required Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) policy to make non-required safety equipment more affordable and accessible for general aviation pilots.
- NORSEE streamlines the design approval and installation process for safety equipment where a failure condition is minor.
- This new policy expands significantly beyond prior initiatives, covering a wide range of safety-enhancing equipment such as traffic advisory systems, terrain awareness, attitude indicators, and autopilots.
