Rotocraft Draft Advisory Material

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of availability of draft rotorcraft advisory material.

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

SUMMARY: This is a notice of availability of draft Advisory Circular 
(AC) material, which provides guidance as to an acceptable means of 
accomplishing the requirements of a proposed rule on the subject of 
requirements for a critical parts plan for normal and transport 
category rotorcraft.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kathy Jones, Rotorcraft Standards Staff, FAA, Rotorcraft Directorate, 
Aircraft Certification Service, Fort Worth, TX 76193-0110; telephone 
(817) 222-5961, fax (817) 222-5961.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces the availability of 
draft AC material. The FAA tasked the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory 
Committee (ARAC) to develop rulemaking and policy material for normal 
and transport category rotorcraft. The ARAC process is a means for the 
public to participate in the drafting of rules and advisory material. 
The FAA review of the ARAC Working Group's material resulted in the FAA 
proposing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and AC material. 
Consequently, NPRM No. 98-10, ``Harmonization of Critical Parts 
Rotorcraft Regulations,'' was published in the Federal Register on 
August 24, 1998 (63 FR 45130). The accompanying AC material is 
available and will be published in a future revision to AC 27-1A and AC 
29-2B (Certification of Normal Category Rotorcraft and Certification of 
Transport Category Rotorcraft, respectively).

    Issued in Fort Worth, Texas, on September 24, 1998.
Henry A. Armstrong,
Manager, Rotorcraft Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service.
