    Accelerated Stalls in Commuter Category Airplanes
    
    AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
    
    ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM); Withdrawal.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: The FAA is withdrawing a previously published Notice of 
    Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that proposed to eliminate the certification 
    requirement to demonstrate an accelerated entry stall for commuter 
    category airplanes. The proposed rule would have removed an unwarranted 
    hazard during flight demonstrations required for airplane type 
    certification, and would not compromise passenger safety. This hazard 
    was a direct result of the high power-to-weight rations of new commuter 
    airplanes. The FAA has proposed a similar requirement in the 
    Airworthiness Standards; Flight Proposals Based on European Joint 
    Aviation Requirements, Docket No. 27807, Notice No. 94-22 (59 FR 
    37878), published July 25, 1994.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 7, 1993, the FAA published Notice of 
    Proposed Rulemaking No. 93-5 (58 FR 32034), Docket No. 27316, to 
    announce its intention to amend 14 CFR part 23. Concurrent with 
    publication of that notice, the FAA published notice of availability of 
    a proposed change to AC 23-8A.
        The FAA proposed a similar requirement in Notice No. 94-22 (59 FR 
    37878; July 25, 1994), Docket No. 27807, which covers the accelerated 
    stall demonstration and would harmonize it with the Joint Aviation 
    Requirements. The proposed requirement, based on the European rules, 
    provides relief from high power settings for the accelerated stall 
    demonstration, removing the condition that created the hazard that was 
    the subject of the petition for rulemaking. Therefore the FAA considers 
    that Notice No. 94-22 addresses the petitioner's original concerns for 
    hazardous flight demonstrations, even though it is not identical to the 
    original rule change proposed by the petitioner. Accordingly, the 
    Accelerated Stalls Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and the draft advisory 
    circular, published in the Federal Register on June 7, 1993 (58 FR 
    32034), are withdrawn.
        Comments submitted to Docket No. 27316 are being reviewed, and will 
    be disposed of as part of Docket No. 27807.
    
        Issued in Washington, DC on October 25, 1995.

    Acting Director, Aircraft Certification Service.
