Petitions for Exemption
Docket No.: FAA-2002-13885-1.
Petitioner: Raytheon Aircraft Services.
Section of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR part 23, 23.807(d)(1)(ii).
[[Page 3091]]
Description of Relief Sought: Raytheon Aircraft Services (RAS)
seeks exemption from 14 CFR 23.807(d)(1)(ii) for the Model 1900D. This
rule requires commuter category aircraft, with a passenger seating
capacity of 16 or greater, to be equipped with an accessible emergency
exit on the same side of the aircraft as the entry door and two exits
on the opposite side of the aircraft. RAS seeks a Supplemental Type
Certificate for the 1900D to install a cargo configuration floor plan.
The floor plan design would allow access to the forward entry door, but
block access to the emergency exit on that side of the airplane. An
emergency exit on the opposite side of the airplane would remain
accessible.
The cargo configuration floor plan allows seating for three
occupants: the pilot, co-pilot, and an observer. The baseline Model
1900D is certificated to a total passenger seating capacity of 19, and
is equipped with a main cabin door and three emergency exits, per 14
CFR 23.807(d)(1)(ii). A simple comparison shows that egress for three
persons through two exits, one on each side of the cabin, gives a level
of safety equal to the original certification basis.
