§ 23.1411

General. 

(a) Required safety equipment to be 

used by the flight crew in an emer-
gency, such as automatic liferaft re-
leases, must be readily accessible. 

(b) Stowage provisions for required 

safety equipment must be furnished 
and must— 

(1) Be arranged so that the equip-

ment is directly accessible and its loca-
tion is obvious; and 

(2) Protect the safety equipment 

from damage caused by being subjected 
to the inertia loads resulting from the 
ultimate static load factors specified in 
§ 23.561(b)(3) of this part. 

[Amdt. 23–17, 41 FR 55465, Dec. 20, 1976, as 
amended by Amdt. 23–36, 53 FR 30815, Aug. 15, 
1988] 

§ 23.1415

Ditching equipment. 

(a) Emergency flotation and sig-

naling equipment required by any oper-

ating rule in this chapter must be in-
stalled so that it is readily available to 
the crew and passengers. 

(b) Each raft and each life preserver 

must be approved. 

(c) Each raft released automatically 

or by the pilot must be attached to the 
airplane by a line to keep it alongside 
the airplane. This line must be weak 
enough to break before submerging the 
empty raft to which it is attached. 

(d) Each signaling device required by 

any operating rule in this chapter, 
must be accessible, function satisfac-
torily, and must be free of any hazard 
in its operation. 

§ 23.1416

Pneumatic de-icer boot sys-

tem. 

If certification with ice protection 

provisions is desired and a pneumatic 
de-icer boot system is installed— 

(a) The system must meet the re-

quirements specified in § 23.1419. 

(b) The system and its components 

must be designed to perform their in-
tended function under any normal sys-
tem operating temperature or pressure, 
and 

(c) Means to indicate to the flight 

crew that the pneumatic de-icer boot 
system is receiving adequate pressure 
and is functioning normally must be 
provided. 

[Amdt. 23–23, 43 FR 50593, Oct. 30, 1978] 

§ 23.1419

Ice protection. 

If certification with ice protection 

provisions is desired, compliance with 
the requirements of this section and 
other applicable sections of this part 
must be shown: 

(a) An analysis must be performed to 

establish, on the basis of the airplane’s 
operational needs, the adequacy of the 
ice protection system for the various 
components of the airplane. In addi-
tion, tests of the ice protection system 
must be conducted to demonstrate that 
the airplane is capable of operating 
safely in continuous maximum and 
intermittent maximum icing condi-
tions, as described in appendix C of 
part 25 of this chapter. As used in this 
section, ‘‘Capable of operating safely,’’ 
means that airplane performance, con-
trollability, maneuverability, and sta-
bility must not be less than that re-
quired in part 23, subpart B.
