Part 25 aircraft, along with engines and propellers, are covered under the FAA's proposal to protect against cybersecurity threats.

The FAA has proposed updating airworthiness standards for transport category aircraft, engines, and propellers to guard against potential cybersecurity threats. Applying to FAR Parts 25, 33, and 35, the proposal released yesterday would outline requirements for type certification and continued airworthiness to protect equipment, systems, and networks against “intentional unauthorized electronic interactions” (IUEI) that could compromise safety.

Under the proposal, manufacturers or others seeking certification would be required to identify, assess, and mitigate potential hazards and develop instructions for continued airworthiness to protect the aircraft and its components while in service.
