Airworthiness Standards; Bird Ingestion

This document proposes to amend the FAA type certification standards for aircraft turbine engines with regard to bird ingestion. The proposed standards reflect recent analyses defining the actual bird threat encountered in service by turbine engines, and would harmonize the FAA bird ingestion standards with those being drafted by the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA). The proposed changes would establish nearly uniform bird ingestion standards for aircraft turbine engines certified by the United States under FAA standards and by the JAA countries under JAA standards, thereby simplifying airworthiness approvals for import and export.
