Extension of Comment Period; Airplane and Engine Certification Requirements in Supercooled Large Drop, Mixed Phase, and Ice Crystal Icing Conditions

Transportation Department, Federal Aviation Administration

Abstract

This action extends the comment period for an NPRM that was published on June 29, 2010. In that document, the FAA proposed to amend the airworthiness standards applicable to certain transport category airplanes certified for flight in icing conditions and the icing airworthiness standards applicable to certain aircraft engines. The proposed regulations would improve safety by addressing supercooled large drop icing conditions for transport category airplanes most affected by these icing conditions, mixed phase and ice crystal conditions for all transport category airplanes, and supercooled large drop, mixed phase, and ice crystal icing conditions for all turbine engines. Bombardier Aerospace, an airframe manufacturer, and Turbomeca Groupe SAFRAN, an engine manufacturer, have requested an extension of the comment period from 60 days to 120 days to allow time to adequately analyze the NPRM and prepare comments.
