March 9, 2016 - The U.S. Department of
Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) today proposed a rule that overhauls the
airworthiness standards for small general
aviation airplanes.
The FAA’s proposal, which is based on industry
recommendations, would reduce the time it takes
to get safety enhancing technologies for small
airplanes into the marketplace while also
reducing cost.
“This proposal would improve safety, reduce
costs, and leverage innovation to ensure the
highest level of safety is designed and built
into small airplanes,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony
Foxx.
