This specification applies to the electrical systems aspects of airworthiness and design for "small" aircraft. It establishes the Aircraft Type Code (ATC) compliance matrix based on airworthiness level, number of engines, type of engine(s), stall speed, cruise speed, meteorological conditions, altitude, and maneuvers. An ATC is defined by taking into account both the technical considerations regarding the design of the aircraft and the airworthiness level established based upon risk-based criteria. The requirements established by this specification cover power source capacity and distribution, electrical systems and equipment, storage battery design and installation, circuit protective devices, master switch arrangement, switches, electrical cables and equipment, electrical system fire protection, and electronic equipment.
