Operational considerations

The nine GA organizations were responding to a March 14, 2016, proposed rule from the FAA that would remove "current prescriptive design requirements" and replace them with "performance-based airworthiness standards." The proposal also would "adopt additional airworthiness standards to address certification for flight in icing conditions, enhanced stall characteristics, and minimum control speed" for multiengine airplanes. The proposal responds to a Congressional mandate enacted in 2013.
