Title:
Regulatory Roadblock Reduction
Topic:
Regulatory Roadblock Reduction: The FAA Has Lowered Barriers For The Approval Of Non-Required Safety-Enhancing Equipment.
Speaker(s):
Master Pilot Sam Gross
Brief Description:
Background:
The General Aviation Joint Steering Committee feel that reducing regulatory roadblocks to certification of General Aviation safety equipment will encourage aircraft owners and pilots to adopt existing and emergent safety technologies. Available safety technologies will be discussed and their implementation encouraged.
Take Away:
- Studies suggest that a significant number of General Aviation fatal accidents are due to loss of control.
- Existing and emergent technologies that address loss of control are available but they are often too costly to certify for use in GA aircraft.
- Streamlining the certification and approval of these technologies will result in greater penetration in the GA fleet and a reduction in LOC accidents.
- FAA is considering ASTM Consensus Standards as a means of certifying safety equipment performance. This should streamline and reduce the cost of the certification process
- GA aircraft owners and pilots should consider equipping with
- Autopilots
- GPS and moving map displays
- ADS-B out and in technology
- Angle of attack indicators
- 4-point, 5-point and/or airbag seatbelts
- In flight weather information and displays
