for any recommended change, and include supporting data. We ask that 
you send us two copies of written comments.

Background

    The ``primary'' category for aircraft was created specifically for 
the simple, low performance personal aircraft. Section 21.17, 
Designation of applicable

[[Page 15993]]

regulations, paragraph (f) provides a means for the FAA to determine 
appropriate airworthiness standards for the particular primary category 
aircraft. The FAA procedure establishing appropriate airworthiness 
standards includes reviewing and possibly revising an applicant's 
proposal, publication of the submittal in the Federal Register for 
public review and comment, and addressing the comments. After all 
necessary revisions, the standards are published as approved FAA 
airworthiness standards.
    Accordingly, Cub Crafters, Inc., has submitted these proposed 
airworthiness standards for the Model CC21-180 airplane under Sec.  
21.17(f).

Proposed Airworthiness Standards for Acceptance Under the Primary 
Category Rule

    This document prescribes airworthiness standards for the issuance 
of a type certification for the Cub Crafters, Inc., Model CC21-180, a 
primary category airplane. These proposed airworthiness standards have 
a long safe service history in similar airplanes; therefore, they 
provide an appropriate level of safety. The proposed airworthiness 
standards are based on standards that were used to certify the same 
design as a normal and utility category airplane, Cub Crafters CC19-
180, in accordance with FAA Type Certiciate A00053SE.
