amended several times. Accordingly, the FAA is proposing and requesting 
comments on AC 23-17A, which will provide guidance for the original 
issue of part 23 and the various amendments up through Amendment 23-53. 
The amended version of the advisory circular covers policy available 
through June 30, 2001. Policy available after that date will be covered 
in future amendments to the advisory circular.
