Appendix B B-1 APPENDIX B. RELATED READING MATERIAL B.1 The FAA publishes many ACs that address a wide range of topics and audiences. Some of these ACs are applicable to certain kinds of aircraft, while others are not aircraft-specific and do not include aircraft in the subject matter. These ACs may be relevant to powered-lift, even though the term “powered-lift” is not found within each AC. The FAA encourages persons to review the available ACs to determine the information that may be relevant to their intended operations. All ACs can be found on the FAA website at https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/advisory_circulars.
B.2 ACs that are applicable to all aircraft are applicable to powered-lift per the § 1.1 definition of “aircraft.”
