FAA Publishes Details of Part 23 Compliance
Key Takeaways:
- The FAA has released 63 Means of Compliance (MOCs) for the overhauled Part 23 Airworthiness Standards, designed to facilitate the installation of innovative, safety-enhancing technologies into small general aviation airplanes and reduce costs.
- These MOCs, developed with industry and stakeholder input, largely incorporate ASTM consensus standards, with 46 accepted without change and 17 with FAA modifications.
- While an acceptable method, these MOCs are not the sole means to comply with the updated Part 23 regulations, and a public comment period is open until July 10.
