This months Abbott aerospace newsletter has a interesting article on the current state of play with FAR23. The FAA issued an Accepted Means of Compliance with this in it:
"However, for means of compliance identified in the following list, Aircraft Type Code compliance matrix tables, which define applicability of the individual requirements of given standards, are not accepted in any ASTM F44 standard. Due to errors identified in the Aircraft Type Code compliance matrix tables, applicability of individual requirements of standards must be established with the Small Airplane Standards Branch."
It also seems to say, you can use amendment 63 (the current is amendment 64) except for loss of control and icing. I can't see much in the way of new aircraft coming through with the system being such a moving target.
