Yes, welcome to the new certification world.
It appears to be a lot that is not included in CFR part 23, I think it would be a mistake to think that compliance will now be easier, or that the questions asked in previous FAR 23 amendments will not be asked in certification meetings.
It was comparatively easy to go through the certification standard line by line with the certification applicant, to reach an agreed certification plan. Not so sure that it will be so now.
I would not like to be an applicant trying to develop and present a consensus certification standard to the FAA.
I will bet that a flap interconnect failure will still have to be addressed if it is not shown to be extremely improbable.
Interesting days for both certification applicants and regulatory authorities.
