Background

    Electrical and Electronic Engine Control (EEC) technology was 
initially applied to turbine engines designed for large transport 
aircraft applications. Therefore, the information and guidance for 
showing compliance with Sec. 33.28 provided by the FAA was oriented 
toward these applications. However, the increasing use of EEC systems 
in reciprocating piston engines has created a need for guidance 
specifically for reciprocating engines. This AC provides a means, but 
not the only means, of showing compliance with Sec. 33.28 that 
addresses these issues.


    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701-44702, 44704.

    Issued in Burlington, Massachusetts, on July 3, 2002.
