Abstract:Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto GCAS) can be integrated on 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 23 general aviation aircraft with existing certified autopilot systems to reduce controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) to below the current mishap rate. To ensure safe and effective Auto GCAS implementation, regulators must assure the system has minimal probability of unsafe behaviors while limiting nuisance rates during normal aircraft operations. Regulatory barriers, technology limitations, and cost previously limited implementation of Auto GCAS on 14 CFR Part 23 general aviation aircraft. Acceleration of the aviation industry into automated technologies and additional flexibility from 14 CFR Part 23 Amendment (Amdt) 64 rules, make the Auto GCAS certification path achievable. Auto GCAS has the prospect of converting an already catastrophic situation back into a normal and acceptable one. Properly substantiated, Auto GCAS capabilities will save lives. This is clearly in the public interest and warrants serious consideration by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
