2120-AK80 202304 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2120 Federal Aviation Administration FAA 2100 Department of Transportation DOT Miscellaneous Rotorcraft Regulations

This rulemaking would amend the certification standards of normal and transport category helicopters. These changes are necessary to address modern designs used in the rotorcraft industry and will reduce the burden on applicants for certification of new rotorcraft designs. These changes would reduce or eliminate the need for certain special conditions required to obtain certification of modern rotorcraft. The changes also would reflect the requirements of equivalent level of safety findings that the FAA has imposed as conditions for approving certain design features. The FAA would also update a few of these rules to correct typographical errors.
