FAR 23.851 Fire extinguishers.
(a) There must be at least one hand fire extinguisher for use in the pilot compartment that is located within easy access of the pilot while seated.


SFAR No. 23

1. Applicability. An applicant is entitled to a type certificate in the normal category for a reciprocating or turbopropeller multiengine powered small airplane that is to be certificated to carry more than 10 occupants and that is intended for use in operations under Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Regulations if he shows compliance with the applicable requirements of Part 23 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, as supplemented or modified by the additional airworthiness requirements of this regulation.

I think Part 23 may be for Part 135 operators.
Chuck (or others), is that right?


Part 23 (Part 25 for large aircraft) is what replaced CAR 3 for small aircraft certification. Part 23 doesn't apply to our 150/152 as they were certified as CAR 3 aircraft before Part 23 came into effect. In fact, current production 172, 182, and 206 aircraft are still maufactured under the same CAR 3 regs on the same TCDS (amended, of course). Bottom line, you can respect those regs if you choose, but you don't have to follow them with your plane.
