#  Proposed Advisory Circular; Guidance Material for 14 CFR 33.28, Reciprocating Engines, Electrical and Electronic Engine Control Systems

**AGENCY:**

Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

**ACTION:**

Notice of availability of proposed advisory circular and request for comments.

**SUMMARY:**

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces the availability of proposed Advisory Circular (AC) Number 33.28-2, Guidance Material For 14 CFR § 33.28, Reciprocating Engines, Electrical And Electronic Engine Control Systems.

**DATES:**

Comments must be received on or before September 18, 2002.

**ADDRESSES:**

Send all comments on the proposed AC to the Federal Aviation Administration, Attn: Mark Rumizen, Engine and Propeller Standards Staff, ANE-110, 12 New England Executive Park, Burlington, MA 01803-5299.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Mark Rumizen, Engine and Propeller Standards Staff, ANE-110, at the above address; telephone: (781) 238-7113; fax: (781) 238-7199; e-mail: *[email protected].*

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

**Comments Invited**

A copy of the subject AC may be obtained by contacting the person named under *FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT* or by downloading the proposed AC from the following Internet Web site: *http://www.airweb.faa.gov/rgl.* The FAA invites interested parties to comment on the proposed AC. Comments should identify the subject of the AC and be submitted to the individual identified under *FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.* The FAA will consider all communications received by the closing date before issuing the final AC.

**Background**

Electrical and Electronic Engine Control (EEC) technology was initially applied to turbine engines designed for large transport aircraft applications. Therefore, the information and guidance for showing compliance with § 33.28 provided by the FAA was oriented toward these applications. However, the increasing use of EEC systems in reciprocating piston engines has created a need for guidance specifically for reciprocating engines. This AC provides a means, but not the only means, of showing compliance with § 33.28 that addresses these issues.

**Authority:**

49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701-44702, 44704.

Issued in Burlington, Massachusetts, on July 3, 2002.

Manager, Engine and Propeller Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service.
