In this monthly column, Ric Peri of the AEA’s Washington, D.C., office, informs members of the latest regulatory updates.
T he month of March ended with the establishment of a working group to revise and update the CPI. No, that is not the Consumer
Price Index, but rather the Certification Process Improvement guide. The Appendices are exceptionally applicable to the
avionics industry.• Appendix III – Avionics Certification Process
Improvement.• Appendix IV – Avionics Partnership for Safety Plan.
• Appendix V – Avionics Installation Project Specific Certification Plan.• Appendix VI – Avionics TSOA Project Specific Certification Plan.Originally published in 2001 and revised in 2004, this
latest revision’s purpose is to update the guide to the latest delegation principles and recommendations from both the agency and industry. The CPI is intended to assist in original certification as well as supplemental certifications. However, in reviewing the Certification Process Improvement guide, it has quite a bit of good
guidance for all certificate holders.According to the CPI, “This guide describes how to plan, manage and document an effective, efficient product certification process and working relationship between the Federal Aviation Administration and
an applicant” just as FAA Advisory Circular 145-9 describes how to plan, manage and document an effective, efficient certified maintenance organization. And to some extent, it further set the framework for the “working relationship between the FAA and the repair station.” The CPI also offers some excellent overarching guidance that “Though focused on large and/or complex programs, it is expected that the CPI principles of upfront planning, project management, and documenting
The principles of ‘upfront planning, project management and documenting ’ are absolutely in l ine with the principles of Part 145.

TRUE BLUE POWER is supplying new TB44 (46 amp-hour) lithium-ion aircraft
batteries to Textron AirLand for use on the Scorpion Jet.
According to the company, True Blue Power specializes in the custom design
and manufacturing of next-generation power solutions for the global aviation indus-
try. The TB44 Advanced Lithium-ion Battery utilizes a proprietary Nanophosphate
lithium-ion cell chemistry that offers energy density, delivering twice as much ener-
gy per kilogram when compared to lead acid or NiCad alternatives.
The Scorpion Jet is a tactical aircraft that is designed to excel in roles such as
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, close air support, armed reconnais-
sance, maritime and border patrol and jet training mis-
sions.• In other news...
True Blue Power also announced a
growing list of builder’s assistance pro-
grams offering Lancair Evolution Turbine
owners True Blue Power TX16 lithium-ion
engine-start batteries. Among the busi-
nesses offering programs are Advanced
Aviation, Cascade Aircraft Management,
Fibercraft Inc., and Performance One
Aviation. With extensive Lancair experi-

BENDIXKING, a division of Honeywell Aerospace,
received FAA approval for the installation of its KT 74
ADS-B Transponder and KGX-Series ADS-B transceivers
on a broad list of general aviation helicopters. An
approved model list supplemental type certificate approval
is now available for popular airframes including the Bell
429/407/206L/206B, Airbus AS 322/350/B3/355/365, EC
120/130/135/145, Robinson R22/44/66, and MD-500,
according to the company.
“We are excited to have achieved this milestone for
our ADS-B solutions because it significantly reduces the
paperwork and overall installation time for helicopter
operators,” said JUSTIN RYAN, president of BendixKing.
“Many of these aircraft were delivered with BendixKing KT
76A/C transponders. This makes them great candidates
for the KT 74, which is a slide-in replacement. We also
offer a trade-in rebate for the old transponder to allow for
a simple and cost-effective way to meet the upcoming
mandate.”For more information, visit bendixking.com. q

The Aircraft Electronics Associa-tion hosted the annual AEA Eu-
rope Meeting in May, in Cologne, Germany. The meeting featured an-other solid program, and hopefully, you were able to attend this year.
During the meeting, the AEA gave a review of regulatory issues important to its European member-ship, followed by a presentation from John Vincent, the head of the safety analysis and research depart-ment for the European Aviation Safety Agency. Vincent’s presenta-tion focused on the activities of his office, specifically those with the European Strategic Safety Initiative (ESSI).
ESSI is an aviation safety part-nership between EASA, other reg-ulators and the industry. Its objec-tive is to further enhance safety for citizens in Europe and worldwide through safety analysis, implemen-tation of cost-effective action plans, and coordination with other safety initiatives worldwide.
EASA launched ESSI launched in July 2006, as a 10-year program. It has three teams: the European Commercial Aviation Safety Team (ECAST), the European Helicopter Safety Team (EHST), and the Euro-pean General Aviation Safety Team (EGAST).
ECAST addresses large, fixed-wing aircraft operations and aims to further enhance commercial avia-tion safety in Europe and for Euro-pean citizen worldwide. It cooper-ates with the Commercial Aviation Safety Team and other major safety initiatives worldwide, in particu-lar under the Cooperative Devel-opment of Operational Safety and Continuing Airworthiness Program (COSCAP) of the ICAO Technical Cooperation Program.
ECAST monitors the implemen-tation of action plans inherited from the former Joint Safety Strategic Initiative of the Joint Aviation Au-thorities, and it has developed a new safety approach using a
three-phase process:• Phase 1: Identification and se-
lection of safety issues • Phase 2: Safety issues analysis • Phase 3: Development, imple-
mentation and monitoring of actions plans
Phase 1 was conducted from April 2006 to December 2007. Eighteen safety subjects were identified as • Phase 1: Identification and selection of safety issues
• Phase 2: Safety issues analysis • Phase 3: Development, imple-
mentation and monitoring of actions plans
Phase 1 was conducted from April 2006 to December 2007. Eighteen safety subjects were identified as topics for further analysis in Phase 2. Last year, using a prioritization process combining safety impor-tance, coverage and high-level, cost-benefit considerations, ECAST
