Federal Aviation Administration, DOT 

Pt. 25, App. L 

§ 21.4(a)(6) encountered during the phases of 
airplane and engine development used to as-
sess Early ETOPS eligibility. 

(ii) Contain a process for notifying the re-

sponsible FAA aircraft certification office of 
each proposed corrective action that the ap-
plicant determines necessary for each prob-
lem identified from the occurrences reported 
under section K25.3.2(h)(1)(i) of this appendix. 
The timing of the notification must permit 

appropriate FAA review before taking the 
proposed corrective action. 

(2) If the applicant is seeking ETOPS type 

design approval of a change to an airplane- 
engine combination previously approved for 
ETOPS, the problem tracking and resolution 
system need only address those problems 
specified in the following table, provided the 
applicant obtains prior authorization from 
the FAA: 

If the change does not require a new airplane type certificate 

and . . . 

Then the Problem Tracking and Resolution System must ad-

dress . . . 

(i) Requires a new engine type certificate ..................................

All problems applicable to the new engine installation, and for 

the remainder of the airplane, problems in changed systems 
only. 

(ii) Does not require a new engine type certificate .....................

Problems in changed systems only. 

(f) 

Acceptance criteria. The type and fre-

quency of failures and malfunctions on 
ETOPS significant systems that occur dur-
ing the airplane flight test program and the 
airplane demonstration flight test program 
specified in section K25.3.2(d) of this appen-
dix must be consistent with the type and fre-
quency of failures and malfunctions that 
would be expected to occur on currently cer-
tificated airplanes approved for ETOPS. 

K25.3.3

Combined service experience and 

Early ETOPS method

An applicant for ETOPS type design ap-

proval using the Early ETOPS method must 
comply with the following requirements: 

(a) A service experience requirement of 

less than 15,000 engine-hours for the world 
fleet of the candidate airplane-engine com-
bination; 

(b) The Early ETOPS requirements of sec-

tion K25.3.2 of this appendix, except for the 
airplane demonstration specified in section 
K25.3.2(d) of this appendix; and 

(c) The flight test requirement of section 

K25.3.1(c) of this appendix.

This appendix specifies the HIRF environ-

ments and equipment HIRF test levels for 
electrical and electronic systems under 
§ 25.1317. The field strength values for the 
HIRF environments and equipment HIRF 
test levels are expressed in root-mean-square 
units measured during the peak of the modu-
lation cycle.
