Discussion

    This proposed AC provides guidance for demonstrating compliance 
with the transport category airplane certification requirements of 
Sec.  25.1353 Electrical equipment and installations. The guidance 
provided in this proposed AC is directed to airplane manufacturers, 
modifiers, foreign regulatory authorities, FAA transport airplane type 
certification engineers, and designees. It is one means, but not the 
only means, of complying with the part 25 revisions proposed in Notice 
No. 05-08, entitled ``Enhanced Airworthiness Program for Airplane 
Systems/Fuel Tank Safety (EAPAS/FTS),'' published in this same edition 
of the Federal Register. Issuance of AC 25.1353-1 is contingent on 
final adoption of the proposed revisions to part 25.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on September 22, 2005.
John J. Hickey,
Director, Aircraft Certification Service.
