Accelerated Stalls in Commuter Category Airplanes

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.
