CS 23.2600 Flight crew compartment
ED Decision 2017/013/R
(a) The pilot compartment arrangement, including pilot view, and its equipment must allow the flight crew to perform their duties within the operating envelope of the aeroplane, without excessive concentration, skill, alertness, or fatigue.
(b) The applicant must install flight, navigation, surveillance, and powerplant installation controls and displays so that a qualified flight crew can monitor and perform defined tasks associated with the intended functions of systems and equipment. The system and equipment design must minimise flight crew errors, which could result in additional hazards.
(c) For Level-4 aeroplanes, the flight crew interface design must allow for continued safe flight and landing after the loss of vision through any one of the windshield panels.

Remarks
ASTM F3264-17 does not contain standards that ensure that the required pilot compartment view is provided in conditions of fog or frost formation on the internal portion of the windshield and side windows. Pilot compartment view with formation of fog or frost must be addressed in showing compliance with CS 23.2600(a). Applicants may use the provisions of CS 23.773(b) at Amendment 4 as a means of complying with this aspect of CS 23.2600(a), or may propose a different means of compliance in accordance with CS 23.2010.
F3117/F3117M-20 does not contain Section 4.3 on Level 4 aeroplanes, which is included in the next revision (F3117/F3117M-21a).

(a) Installed systems must provide the flight crew member who sets or monitors parameters for the flight, navigation, and powerplant the information necessary to do so during each phase of flight. This information must:
(1) be presented in a manner that the crew members can monitor the parameters and trends, as needed to operate the aeroplane; and
(2) include limitations, unless the limitation cannot be exceeded in all intended operations.
(b) Indication systems that integrate the display of flight or powerplant parameters required to safely operate the aeroplane, or required by the operating rules, must:
(1) not inhibit the primary display of flight or powerplant parameters needed by any flight crew member in any normal mode of operation; and
(2) in combination with other systems, be designed and installed so information essential for continued safe flight and landing will be available to the flight crew in a timely manner after any single failure or probable combination of failures.

(a) The applicant must prepare Instructions for Continued Airworthiness that are appropriate for the certification level and performance level of the aeroplane.
(b) If Instructions for Continued Airworthiness are not supplied by the manufacturer of an appliance or product installed in the aeroplane, the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness for the aeroplane must include the information essential to the continued airworthiness of the aeroplane.
(c) The Instructions for Continued Airworthiness must contain a Section titled ‘Airworthiness limitations’ that is segregated and clearly distinguishable from the rest of the document. This Section must set forth each mandatory replacement time, structural inspection interval, and related structural inspection procedure required for type certification. This Section must contain a legible statement in a prominent location that reads: ‘The Airworthiness limitations Section is approved and variations must also be approved’.
(d) The applicant must develop and implement procedures to prevent structural failures due to foreseeable causes of strength degradation, which could result in serious or fatal injuries, loss of the aeroplane, or extended periods of operation with reduced safety margins. The Instructions for Continued Airworthiness must include procedures developed under CS 23.2255.
