Stumpe discusses the major revision of FAA regulations. New FAA regulations released Dec 16 have given hope to Glasair and many others in general aviation. The changes to Part 23 of the Federal Aviation Regulations will shift the industry to a streamlined and less prescriptive process for certifying newly designed small planes and new avionics for existing aircraft. They go into effect in August. General aviation executives were still reviewing the 550-page document when Aerospace America went to press, but they seemed pleased. They are counting on these rewritten rules to improve safety and give a jolt to an industry in which the average plane is almost 37 years old and total new general aviation airplane shipments worldwide sit at just over half of what they were before the 2007-2009 recession, according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, or GAMA.
