SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of and request for 
comments on proposed AC 23-XX-29, Systems and Equipment Guide for 
Certification of Part 23 Airplanes. This proposed AC provides

Regulations (14 CFR) part 23, subpart D from Sec. 23.671 and subpart F, 
which is applicable to the certification of systems and equipment in 
normal, utility, acrobatic, and commuter category airplanes. This 
proposed AC consolidates existing policy documents, and certain AC's 
that cover specific paragraphs of the regulations, into a single 
document. This material is neither mandatory nor regulatory in nature 
and does not constitute a regulation.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 8, 1999.

Administration, Small Airplane Directorate, Regulations & Policy Branch

Background

    In 1968, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) instituted an 
extensive review of the airworthiness standards of part 23. Since then, 
the regulations have been amended through Amendment 23-52. These 
amendments have changed most of the sections of part 23. This document 
is intended to provide guidance for the original issue of part 23 and 
the various amendments. This version of the advisory circular covers 
policy available through June 30, 1994. Policy that became available 
after June 30, 1994, will be covered in future amendments to the 
advisory circular.

    Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on August 27, 1999.

Manager, Small Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service.
