SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The checklists generated using the information in the proposed AC
are meant to complement the guidance in the Guides for Certification of
Part 23 Airplanes (ACs 23-8B, 23-16A, 23-17A, and 23-19) and other more
project-specific guidance. The material in the proposed AC describes an
acceptable means, but not the only means, of compliance with 14 CFR
part 23. The material in the proposed AC is not mandatory or regulatory
in nature and does not constitute a regulation. Owners/operators of
part 23 airplanes applying for an STC change covered in this proposed
AC may use this material as a reference to create a project-specific
compliance checklist. This material is also intended to be a reference
for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) engineers working on STC
projects for these common changes.
