6 EXCITING TIMES!!!!

7 . But It Is NOT The Wild West!!

8 Today s Agenda How did we get here? Where is here? And what does it mean?

9 It All Stated Here!

13 Applying Safety Continuum Generation 1: February 5, 2014

14 Generation 2: Applying Safety Continuum

15 Applying Safety Continuum Generation 3: NORSEE

16 What is NORSEE? NO R S E E: Non Required Safety Enhancing Equipment Non required Safety Enhancing Equipment addresses equipment that is not required by any Federal regulation with the intent to measurably increase aircraft safety.

19 Applying Safety Continuum Generation 5: Autopilots

20 Parts Regulations (14 CFR) 21.8 Approval of articles Replacement and modification articles.

21 21.9 Replacement and Modification Articles (a) If a person knows, or should know, that a replacement or modification article is reasonably likely to be installed on a type-certificated product, the person may not produce that article unless it is

22 21.9 Replacement and Modification Articles (a). the person may not produce that article unless it is (1) Produced under a type certificate; (2) Produced under an FAA production approval;

23 21.9 Replacement and Modification Articles (a). the person may not produce that article unless it is (3) A standard part (such as a nut or bolt) manufactured in compliance with a government or established industry specification; (4) A commercial part as defined in 21.1 of this part;

24 21.9 Replacement and Modification Articles (a). the person may not produce that article unless it is (5) Produced by an owner or operator for maintaining or altering that owner or operator's product; or (6) Fabricated by an appropriately rated certificate holder with a quality system, and consumed in the repair or alteration of a product or article in accordance with part 43 of this chapter.

25 21.9 Replacement and modification articles (a). the person may not produce that article unless it is (7) Produced in any other manner approved by the FAA. (new)

26 21.8 Approval of articles. If an article is required to be approved under this chapter, it may be approved (a) Under a PMA; (b) Under a TSO; (c) In conjunction with type certification procedures for a product; or (d) In any other manner approved by the FAA.

27 FAA Approvals Generation 1, and 3 AOA & NORSEE Approved under: 21.8 Approval of articles.

28 FAA Approvals Generation 2, 4 & 5 EAA/Dynon (Commercial Part); Garmin G-5 (PMA); Autopilots (PMA) Approved under: 21.9 Replacement and modification articles.

30 What s the difference? TSO (Technical Standard Order) vs PMA (Parts Manufacturing Authority

31 Technical Standard Orders (TSO) A TSO is a minimum performance standard for specified materials, parts, and appliances used on civil aircraft. When authorized to manufacture a material, part, or appliances to a TSO standard, this is referred to as TSO authorization. Receiving a TSO authorization is both design and production approval.

32 Technical Standard Orders (TSO) Receiving a TSO Authorization is not an approval to install and use the article in the aircraft. It means that the article meets the specific TSO and the applicant is authorized to manufacture it.

33 Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) Is a combined design and production approval for modification and replacement articles. It allows a manufacturer to produce and sell these articles for installation on type certificated products.

34 Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) The design approval phase of PMA certifies that a replacement or modification article complies with the airworthiness standards of eligible products (aircraft, engine, or propeller). The applicant shows this compliance through tests and computations unless the article is identical to the article design on a typecertificated product.

35 What s the difference? TSO is BROAD-BASED

36 What s the difference?

37 There is No Free Lunch! These new generation products all have Limitations: Installation Aircraft Applications Maintenance OEM involvement Import/export No (limited) NORSEE/Commercial Part export.

38 Limitations -- Example In the attitude application, the Garmin G5 indicator can replace an existing vacuum attitude indicator or rate of - turn indicator. The G5 can also replace existing vacuum driven DGs or existing HSI s, either standalone or in combination with a G5 attitude display.

39 Limitations -- Example This Approval includes a FAA Approved Commercial Parts List, EAA Document Number JAE-CPL-)1, Rev 1, dated March 25, 2016 or later FAA approved revision.
