SUMMARY: This notice announces the issuance of Advisory Circular (AC)

category airplanes and airships. It consolidates existing policy and 
certain other advisory circulars published prior to December 31, 2002, 
into a single document. The AC notes the guidance considered acceptable 
as a means of compliance with the Airship Design Criteria (ADC) 
requirements in document FAA-P-8110-2. The material in the advisory 
circular is intended as a reference for airplane and airship 
manufacturers, modifiers, and FAA engineers. The AC cancels AC 23-16.

Airplane Directorate on February 23, 2004.
