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.
Discussion of Comments
Existence of Proposed Airworthiness Design Standards for Acceptance
Under the Primary Category Rule; Orlando Helicopter Airways (OHA),
Inc., Models Cessna 172I, 172K, 172L, and 172M airplanes was published
in the Federal Register on June 21, 2010, 75 FR 34953. No comments were
received, and the airworthiness design standards are adopted as
proposed.
Applicability
As discussed above, these airworthiness design standards under the
primary category rule are applicable to the C172I, C172K, C172L, and
C172M. Should OHA, Inc., wish to apply these airworthiness design
standards to other airplane models, OHA, Inc. must submit a new
airworthiness design standard application under the primary rule
category.
Conclusion
This action affects only certain airworthiness design standards on
Cessna model C172I, C172K, C172L, C172M airplanes. It is not a standard
of general applicability and it affects only the applicant who applied
to the FAA for approval of these features on the airplane.
