EASA Releases A-NPA on Light Aircraft Standards
EASA moving forward as timing in the U.S. remains uncertain.

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) released for comment an advance notice of proposed amendment (A-NPA 2015-06) that would rewrite certification standards covering most piston, turboprop and light turbine aircraft. Issued today, the A-NPA moves forward on an international effort to create a consensus approach to certification standards for CS-23/Part 23 aircraft. It was developed through an industry-government rulemaking committee reflecting the recommendations of the international Part 23 Reorganization Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC). The ARC, which included industry and regulatory officials from numerous countries, had established a goal of doubling safety while reducing the cost of certification by half.
