Section 23.2005

flight data recorder without jeopardizing service to essential or emergency
loads;
(ii) It remains powered for as long as
possible without jeopardizing emergency operation of the airplane;
(4) There is an aural or visual means
for preflight checking of the recorder
for proper recording of data in the storage medium;
(5) Except for recorders powered solely by the engine-driven electrical generator system, there is an automatic
means to simultaneously stop a recorder that has a data erasure feature
and prevent each erasure feature from
functioning, within 10 minutes after
crash impact;
(6) Any single electrical failure external to the recorder does not disable
both the cockpit voice recorder and the
flight data recorder; and
(7) It is in a separate container from
the cockpit voice recorder when both
are required. If used to comply with
only the flight data recorder requirements, a combination unit may be installed. If a combination unit is installed as a cockpit voice recorder to
comply with Section 23.1457(e)(2), a combination unit must be used to comply with
this flight data recorder requirement.
(b) Each non-ejectable record container must be located and mounted so
as to minimize the probability of container rupture resulting from crash impact and subsequent damage to the
record from fire. In meeting this requirement, the record container must
be located as far aft as practicable, but
need not be aft of the pressurized compartment, and may not be where aftmounted engines may crush the container upon impact.
(c) A correlation must be established
between the flight recorder readings of
airspeed, altitude, and heading and the
corresponding readings (taking into account correction factors) of the first pilot-s instruments. The correlation
must cover the airspeed range over
which the airplane is to be operated,
the range of altitude to which the airplane is limited, and 360 degrees of
heading. Correlation may be established on the ground as appropriate.
(d) Each recorder container must - 
(1) Be either bright orange or bright
yellow;

(2) Have reflective tape affixed to its
external surface to facilitate its location under water; and
(3) Have an underwater locating device, when required by the operating
rules of this chapter, on or adjacent to
the container, which is secured in such
a manner that they are not likely to be
separated during crash impact.
(e) Any novel or unique design or
operational characteristics of the aircraft shall be evaluated to determine if
any dedicated parameters must be recorded on flight recorders in addition
to or in place of existing requirements.
Section 23.1529 Instructions for continued
airworthiness.
The applicant must prepare Instructions for Continued Airworthiness, in
accordance with appendix A of this
part, that are acceptable to the Administrator. The instructions may be incomplete at type certification if a program exists to ensure their completion
prior to delivery of the first airplane or
issuance of a standard certificate of
airworthiness, whichever occurs later.

Subpart A - General
Section 23.2000 Applicability and definitions.
(a) This part prescribes airworthiness
standards for the issuance of type certificates, and changes to those certificates, for airplanes in the normal category.
(b) For the purposes of this part, the
following definition applies:
Continued safe flight and landing
means an airplane is capable of continued controlled flight and landing, possibly using emergency procedures,
without requiring exceptional pilot
skill or strength. Upon landing, some
airplane damage may occur as a result
of a failure condition.
Section 23.2005 Certification of normal category airplanes.
(a) Certification in the normal category applies to airplanes with a passenger-seating configuration of 19 or
less and a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 19,000 pounds or less.
(b) Airplane certification levels are:
(1) Level 1 - for airplanes with a maximum seating configuration of 0 to 1
passengers.
