X1.2 Revisions to F3264 – 18 Approved October 1, 2018
TABLE X1.2 Revisions
Section Change Description Reason/Rationale for Change
2.1 Added F3309/F3309M Standard Practice for Simplified Safety Assess- F3309/F3309M has recently been published and provides a simplified
ment of Systems and Equipment in Small Aircraft system safety assessment approach intended for Level 1 and 2 aircraft
that can be used in lieu of the traditional system safety methods speci-
fied in F3230. By providing a simplified method for system safety
analysis, it reduces the depth of analysis required to comply with the
regulations for conventional systems installed on small aircraft.
8.7.5 Added 8.7.5 F3114 – 15 Standard Specification for Structures “F3264, 8.7 needs to add F3061/F3061M – 17 and F3114 – 15. The
missing link is 23.721 at amendment 63 is captured by 23.2430(a)(6) in
the NPRM cross reference table. 23.721(a) ended up in F3114 as para-
graph 4.8. Both requirements involve fuel tank/system leakage due to
landing gear failures.”
9.1.1.5 Added F3309/F3309M – 18 Standard Practice for Simplified Safety As- F3309/F3309M has recently been published and provides a simplified
sessment of Systems and Equipment in Small Aircraft system safety assessment approach intended for Level 1 and Level 2
aircraft that can be used in lieu of the traditional system safety methods
specified in F3230. By providing a simplified method for system safety
analysis, it reduces the depth of analysis required to comply with the
regulations for conventional systems installed on small aircraft.
9.1.5 Added F3120/F3120M – 15 Standard Specification for Ice Protection F3120/F3120M ice protection should be added to 9.1. 9.1 is tied to
for General Aviation Aircraft 23.2500 which for both FAA and EASA says that equipment should per-
form it’s intended function throughout the aircraft environmental and op-
erational limits. F3120/F3120M has several paragraphs that will directly
cross to 23.2500 for compliance. F3120/F3120M sections 8.1 – 8.5 de-
scribe requirements for installed equipment to be able to operate in the
FIKI environment.
9.2.1.1 Deleted 9.2.1.1 F3230 – 17 Standard Practice for Safety Assessment It is recommended section 9.2.1.1 containing F3230 be removed from
of Systems and Equipment in Small Aircraft any compliance to either FAA 23.2505 or CS23.2505. The FAA NOA ties
section 9.2 to 23.2505 which is “equipment must function as intended”
which is about demonstrating that it does what it is claimed to do when
the system is operating normally. F3230 is about how you protect the
aircraft when things fail and are not working correctly, so it has nothing
to do with 23.2505 compliance.
