[Advisory Circular Number AC 23-17B]
Advisory Circular on Systems and Equipment Guide for
Certification of Part 23 Airplanes and Airships
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of availability; request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
proposed advisory circular that sets forth an acceptable means, but not
the only means of showing compliance with Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR), part 23, for the certification of systems and
equipment in normal, utility, acrobatic, and commuter category
airplanes and airships. The policy in this advisory circular is
considered applicable for airship projects; however, the certifying
office should only use specific applicability and requirements if they
are determined to be reasonable, applicable and relevant to the airship
project. This advisory circular applies to subpart D from 23.671 and
subpart F. This advisory circular both consolidates existing policy
documents, and certain advisory circulars that cover specific
paragraphs of the regulations, into a single document and adds new
guidance. This notice is necessary to advise the public of this FAA
advisory circular and give all interested persons an opportunity to
present their views on it.
DATES: Send your comments by October 29, 2004.

the public and all manufacturers for their comments.
