Date: March 10, 2020 To: Neika Jones, Directives Program Manager, ASP-110 From: Dr. Michael C. Romanowski, Director, Policy and Innovation Division, Aircraft Certification Service, AIR-600 Prepared by: Pat Mullen, Manager, Small Airplane Standards Branch, AIR-690 Subject: Cancellation of Advisory Circular (AC) 23.1419-2D, Certification of Part 23 Airplanes For Flight In Icing Conditions Memo No.: AIR600-20-690-GM01

This memorandum requests the cancellation of AC 23.1419-2D, Certification of Part 23 Airplanes For Flight In Icing Conditions, dated April 19, 2017, to include change 1. With the increased level of safety associated with preventing loss of control in icing conditions introduced in Title Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 23, amendment 23-64, the information in AC 23.1419-2D no longer applies.

Pursuant to the Small Airplane Revitalization Act of 20131, which was the primary driver for 14 CFR part 23, amendment 23-64, the FAA is developing means of compliance in partnership with industry and civil aviation authorities using industry standards that provide a more harmonized certification and safety environment. AC 23.2010-1, FAA Accepted Means of Compliance Process for 14 CFR Part 23, provides applicants a path to request the FAA to consider alternative means of compliance in lieu of an industry standard.

If you have any questions on this, please contact Mr. William Schinstock, AIR-691, at 816-329-4177.
