President Signs Small Airplane Revitalization Act
January 30, 2014
The President signed into law the Small Airplane Revitalization Act. The law aims to cut certification costs for aircraft under 12,500 pounds by updating Part 23 regulations relating to aircraft components and technology. The law adopted many of the recommendations of the joint industry-government Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) which was charged with revising the certification requirements. The FAA has until the end of 2015 to implement the ARC recommendations.
