A new category of aircraft and service has emerged which our rules were not Tai lored to meet Faa chairman Langhorne Bond said at a press briefing on the new regulations. Passenger traffic on commuter lines has grown 10.3 percent annually since 1970, Bond said. The Faa forecasts commuter Passen Gers will nearly double Over the next 12 years up to 16.5 million in 1990 from the 8.5 million passengers handled last year. More than 200 commuter airlines now provide scheduled passenger cargo or mail service to Over 600 communities the Faa said. An additional 2,300 air taxi operators provide nonscheduled service at Sev eral thousand airports. The Faa estimated the Cost of comply ing with the new rules at $33.4 million $7.5 million for commuter airlines and $25.9 million for the air taxis. Bond said the higher safety standards will permit commuter lines and air taxis greater flexibility in the operation and use of larger More productive aircraft. The new rules will permit commuter air lines and commercial operators to use air Craft with up to 30 passenger seats or a payload capacity of 7,500 pounds. Faa rules now have the effect of limiting Passen Gers to a maximum of 19. Work on the new rules began in 1972 and has included extensive sessions with Indus try groups. While the changes Are effective dec. 1, operators will be Given additional time to comply with various equipment and other requirements.
