Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 36 / Wednesday, February 23, 2022 / Notices

Activities,’’ issued February 10, 1998,
and revised January 27, 2016, the FAA
accepted consensus standards for the
certification of light-sport aircraft.
Instead of developing airworthiness
standards through the rulemaking
process, the FAA participates as a
member of Committee F37 in
developing and revising these
standards. In the final rule, the FAA
stated the agency would continue to
participate in revising the consensus
standards at an interval no longer than
every two years (69 FR 44787). Each
review cycle results in a revision to or
reapproval of the consensus standard. A
revision changes the technical content
of the consensus standard, while a
reapproval indicates a review cycle has
been completed with no technical
changes.
Each consensus standard is issued
under a fixed designation (e.g., F2245).
A number immediately following the
designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of
revision, the year of last revision. A
number in parentheses following the
year of original adoption or revision
indicates the year of last reapproval. For
example, F2242–05(2013) designates a
standard that was originally adopted (or
revised) in 2005 and reapproved in
2013. A superscript epsilon (e) after the
reapproval year indicates an editorial
change since the last revision or
reapproval. The FAA only issues a
notice of availability for new or revised
standards. Reapproved standards issued
with no technical changes or standards
issued with editorial changes only (i.e.,
superscript epsilon [e]) are accepted by
the FAA without notice.

availability of new and revised
consensus standards in the Federal
Register on October 3, 2018 (83 FR
49971; corrected October 22, 2018, 83
FR 53358). In the notice, the FAA
requested public comments on two new
and two revised consensus standards.
The comment period closed on

Consensus Standards in This Notice of
Availability
The FAA has participated in the
development process for the consensus
standards presented in this notice of
availability and reviewed these
standards for compliance with the
regulatory requirements of the
Certification of Aircraft and Airmen for
the Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft
rule. Any light-sport aircraft that has

Jkt 256001

been designed, manufactured, and
operated in accordance with these and
previously accepted consensus
standards provides the public with an
appropriate level of safety.
Manufacturers who chose to produce
and certificate these aircraft under 14
CFR 21.190 or 21.191 must state that the
aircraft meets the provisions of the latest
FAA-accepted consensus standards for
light sport aircraft.
The FAA maintains a listing of the
FAA-accepted consensus standards for
light-sport aircraft on the following
website: http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/
gen_av/light_sport/.
Effective Period of Use for Previous
Consensus Standards
The following previously-accepted
consensus standards have been revised.
This notice announces the FAA’s
acceptance of the revisions. Either the
previous revision or the current revision
may be used for initial airworthiness
certification of light-sport aircraft until
February 23, 2023. This period will
allow aircraft that have started the
initial airworthiness certification
process using the previous revision to
complete that process. After February
23, 2023, manufacturers must use the
current revision and must identify the
current revision in the manufacturer’s
statement of compliance for initial
airworthiness certification of light-sport
aircraft unless the FAA publishes a
notification otherwise.
The following consensus standards
may not be used after February 23, 2023:
ASTM Designation F2245–16c,
Standard Specification for Design and
Performance of a Light Sport Airplane
ASTM Designation F2339–17, Standard
Practice for Design and Manufacture
of Reciprocating Spark Ignition
Engines for Light Sport Aircraft
The Consensus Standards
The FAA finds the following new and
revised consensus standards acceptable
for certification under the provisions of
the Certification of Aircraft and Airmen
for the Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft

effective February 23, 2022 and may be
used unless the FAA publishes a
notification otherwise:
