Advisory Circular on Standard Airworthiness Compliance Checklists 
for Part 23 Projects

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of availability; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 
proposed advisory circular that provides a standard compliance 
checklist for Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 
23 Type Certificate, Amended Type Certificate, and Supplemental Type 
Certificate projects. This checklist shows the typical methods of 
compliance with the regulations and provides a cross-reference to other 
related guidance material. The checklists created using the information 
in this AC complement the guidance in the Guides for Certification of 
Part 23 Airplanes (ACs 23-8B, 23-16A, 23-17B, and 23-19) and other more 
project specific guidance. This checklist is a starting place when 
applying for certification. This AC describes an acceptable means, but 
not the only means, of compliance with 14 CFR part 23. The material in 
this AC is neither mandatory nor regulatory in nature and does not 
constitute a regulation.
