continuous operation nor designed to 
prevent hazard if it failed. 

(5) An indicator to indicate the func-

tioning of the powerplant ice protec-
tion system for each engine. 

(6) An indicator for the fuel strainer 

or filter required by § 25.997 to indicate 
the occurrence of contamination of the 
strainer or filter before it reaches the 
capacity established in accordance 
with § 25.997(d). 

(7) A warning means for the oil 

strainer or filter required by § 25.1019, if 
it has no bypass, to warn the pilot of 
the occurrence of contamination of the 
strainer or filter screen before it 
reaches the capacity established in ac-
cordance with § 25.1019(a)(2). 

(8) An indicator to indicate the prop-

er functioning of any heater used to 
prevent ice clogging of fuel system 
components. 

(d)

planes.  In addition to the powerplant 
instruments required by paragraphs (a) 
and (c) of this section, the following 
powerplant instruments are required: 

(1) An indicator to indicate thrust, or 

a parameter that is directly related to 
thrust, to the pilot. The indication 
must be based on the direct measure-
ment of thrust or of parameters that 
are directly related to thrust. The indi-
cator must indicate a change in thrust 
resulting from any engine malfunction, 
damage, or deterioration. 

(2) A position indicating means to in-

dicate to the flightcrew when the 
thrust reversing device— 

(i) Is not in the selected position, and 
(ii) Is in the reverse thrust position, 

for each engine using a thrust revers-
ing device. 

(3) An indicator to indicate rotor sys-

tem unbalance. 

(e) 

For turbopropeller-powered air-

planes.  In addition to the powerplant 
instruments required by paragraphs (a) 
and (c) of this section, the following 
powerplant instruments are required: 

(1) A torque indicator for each en-

gine. 

(2) Position indicating means to indi-

cate to the flight crew when the pro-
peller blade angle is below the flight 
low pitch position, for each propeller. 

(f) For airplanes equipped with fluid 

systems (other than fuel) for thrust or 
power augmentation, an approved 

means must be provided to indicate the 
proper functioning of that system to 
the flight crew.

§ 25.1307

Miscellaneous equipment. 

The following is required miscella-

neous equipment: 

(a) [Reserved] 
(b) Two or more independent sources 

of electrical energy. 

(c) Electrical protective devices, as 

prescribed in this part. 

(d) Two systems for two-way radio 

communications, with controls for 
each accessible from each pilot station, 
designed and installed so that failure of 
one system will not preclude operation 
of the other system. The use of a com-
mon antenna system is acceptable if 
adequate reliability is shown. 

(e) Two systems for radio navigation, 

with controls for each accessible from 
each pilot station, designed and in-
stalled so that failure of one system 
will not preclude operation of the other 
system. The use of a common antenna 
system is acceptable if adequate reli-
ability is shown.

§ 25.1309

Equipment, systems, and in-

stallations. 

(a) The equipment, systems, and in-

stallations whose functioning is re-
quired by this subchapter, must be de-
signed to ensure that they perform 
their intended functions under any 
foreseeable operating condition. 

(b) The airplane systems and associ-

ated components, considered sepa-
rately and in relation to other systems, 
must be designed so that— 

(1) The occurrence of any failure con-

dition which would prevent the contin-
ued safe flight and landing of the air-
plane is extremely improbable, and 

(2) The occurrence of any other fail-

ure conditions which would reduce the 
capability of the airplane or the ability

of the crew to cope with adverse oper-
ating conditions is improbable. 

(c) Warning information must be pro-

vided to alert the crew to unsafe sys-
tem operating conditions, and to en-
able them to take appropriate correc-
tive action. Systems, controls, and as-
sociated monitoring and warning 
means must be designed to minimize 
crew errors which could create addi-
tional hazards. 

(d) Compliance with the require-

ments of paragraph (b) of this section 
must be shown by analysis, and where 
necessary, by appropriate ground, 
flight, or simulator tests. The analysis 
must consider— 

(1) Possible modes of failure, includ-

ing malfunctions and damage from ex-
ternal sources. 

(2) The probability of multiple fail-

ures and undetected failures. 

(3) The resulting effects on the air-

plane and occupants, considering the 
stage of flight and operating condi-
tions, and 

(4) The crew warning cues, corrective 

action required, and the capability of 
detecting faults. 

(e) In showing compliance with para-

graphs (a) and (b) of this section with 
regard to the electrical system and 
equipment design and installation, 
critical environmental conditions must 
be considered. For electrical genera-
tion, distribution, and utilization 
equipment required by or used in com-
plying with this chapter, except equip-
ment covered by Technical Standard 
Orders containing environmental test 
procedures, the ability to provide con-
tinuous, safe service under foreseeable 
environmental conditions may be 
shown by environmental tests, design 
analysis, or reference to previous com-
parable service experience on other air-
craft. 

(f) EWIS must be assessed in accord-

ance with the requirements of § 25.1709.

§ 25.1310

Power source capacity and 

distribution. 

(a) Each installation whose func-

tioning is required for type certifi-
cation or under operating rules and 

that requires a power supply is an ‘‘es-
sential load’’ on the power supply. The 
power sources and the system must be 
able to supply the following power 
loads in probable operating combina-
tions and for probable durations: 

(1) Loads connected to the system 

with the system functioning normally. 

(2) Essential loads, after failure of 

any one prime mover, power converter, 
or energy storage device. 

(3) Essential loads after failure of— 
(i) Any one engine on two-engine air-

planes; and 

(ii) Any two engines on airplanes 

with three or more engines. 

(4) Essential loads for which an alter-

nate source of power is required, after 
any failure or malfunction in any one 
power supply system, distribution sys-
tem, or other utilization system. 

(b) In determining compliance with 

paragraphs (a)(2) and (3) of this section, 
the power loads may be assumed to be 
reduced under a monitoring procedure 
consistent with safety in the kinds of 
operation authorized. Loads not re-
quired in controlled flight need not be 
considered for the two-engine-inoper-
ative condition on airplanes with three 
or more engines.

§ 25.1316

Electrical and electronic sys-

tem lightning protection. 

(a) Each electrical and electronic 

system that performs a function, for 
which failure would prevent the contin-
ued safe flight and landing of the air-
plane, must be designed and installed 
so that— 

(1) The function is not adversely af-

fected during and after the time the 
airplane is exposed to lightning; and 

(2) The system automatically recov-

ers normal operation of that function 
in a timely manner after the airplane 
is exposed to lightning. 

(b) Each electrical and electronic 

system that performs a function, for 
which failure would reduce the capa-
bility of the airplane or the ability of 
the flightcrew to respond to an adverse 
operating condition, must be designed 
and installed so that the function re-
covers normal operation in a timely
