FAA Addresses 'Large Flocking Bird Threat'

OK; We Said FLOCKING...

The FAA has published the final version of a rule designed to eliminate threats from "Large Flocking Birds" (say that VERY slowly) and has drafted new certification standards by which engine manufacturers can prove their ability to deal with this feathered threat.

The FAA states that, "This final rule amends the aircraft turbine engine type certification standards to better address the threat flocking birds present to turbine engine aircraft. These changes will also harmonize FAA and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) bird ingestion standards for aircraft turbine engines type certificated by the United States and the EASA countries, and simplify airworthiness approvals for import and export. The changes are necessary to establish uniform international standards and provide an acceptable level of safety for aircraft turbine engines with respect to the current large flocking bird threat."

This final rule becomes effectifve in thirty days.
