AGENCY:
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION:
Notice of availability of proposed advisory circular (AC) and request for comments.
SUMMARY:
This notice announces the availability of and requests comments on the proposed advisory circular, AC 23-24. This guidance sets forth one method that may be used to generate compliance checklists for some 14 CFR, part 23 Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) airplane projects. Guidance is provided for changes to the airplane autopilot, engine, propeller, auxiliary fuel tank, and gross weight. These compliance checklists may be used to fulfill some of the requirements for a Certification Plan as part of an STC project.
DATES:
Comments must be received on or before April 29, 2005.
ADDRESSES:
Send all comments on the proposed AC to: Mr. Mark Orr, Small Airplane Directorate, Standards Office (ACE-110), Aircraft Certification Service, Federal Aviation Administration, 901 Locust Street, Room 301, Kansas City, MO 64106.

Discussion
The checklists generated using the information in the proposed AC are meant to complement the guidance in the Guides for Certification of Part 23 Airplanes (ACs 23-8B, 23-16A, 23-17A, and 23-19) and other more project-specific guidance. The material in the proposed AC describes an acceptable means, but not the only means, of compliance with 14 CFR part 23. The material in the proposed AC is not mandatory or regulatory in nature and does not constitute a regulation. Owners/operators of part 23 airplanes applying for an STC change covered in this proposed AC may use this material as a reference to create a project-specific compliance checklist. This material is also intended to be a reference for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) engineers working on STC projects for these common changes.
