The FAA has 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. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking restructures the existing certification standards and replaces the current prescriptive design requirements in FAR Part 23. It would also add new certification standards to address general aviation loss of control accidents and in-flight icing conditions. A social media post by an Egyptian flight stud
