Change #2 to FAA P-8110-2, Airship Design Criteria (ADC)

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of Change #2 to FAA P-
8110-2, Airship Design Criteria (ADC) dated November 2, 1987. This 
change adds the requirements for fly-by-light control systems. Two new 
paragraphs have been added to the ADC that cover concerns related to 
optical couplings and optical degradation. The requirements for a 
control system not directly (mechanically) connected to the control 
surface are applicable to both fly-by-wire and fly-by-light. The fiber 
optics used in fly-by-light systems, though immune to some of the 
problems associated with fly-by-wire systems, have their own set of 
problems. Those problems are addressed in this change.

ADDRESSES: Copies of Change #2 can be obtained from the following: 
Small Airplane Directorate, Standards Office (ACE-110), Aircraft 
Certification Service, Federal Aviation Administration, 601 East 12th 
Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64106.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Terre Flynn, Standards Staff (ACE-110), telephone number (816) 426-
6941.

    Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, February 6, 1995.
Michael K. Dahl,
Acting Manager, Small Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification 
Service.
