Background
The ``primary'' category for aircraft was created specifically for
the simple, low performance personal aircraft. Section 21.17(f)
provides a means for applicants to propose airworthiness standards for
their particular primary category aircraft. The FAA procedure
establishing appropriate airworthiness standards includes reviewing and
possibly revising the applicant's proposal, publication of the
submittal in the Federal Register for public review and comment, and
addressing the comments. After all necessary revisions, the standards
are published as approved FAA airworthiness standards.
Accordingly, the applicant, OHA, Inc., has submitted a request to
the FAA to include the following:
