Background

    The intent of this proposed policy is to provide guidance for 
conducting a propeller safety analysis. Although part 35 of Title 14 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR part 35) does not explicitly 
require a safety analysis, safety analyses are frequently conducted to 
support part 35 requirements, special conditions, and aircraft 
manufacturer certification requirements. The proposed policy would not 
establish new requirements.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701-44702, 44704.

    Issued in Burlington, Massachusetts, on November 6, 2002.
Francis A. Favara,
Assistant Manager, Engine and Propeller Directorate, Aircraft 
Certification Service.
