SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

has determined that notice of, and 

opportunity for prior public comment 

on, these special conditions is 

impracticable because these procedures 

would significantly delay issuance of 

the design approval and thus delivery of 

the affected airplane(s). 

In addition, the substance of these 

special conditions has been subject to 

the public comment process in several 

prior instances with no substantive 

comments received. The FAA therefore 

finds that good cause exists for making 

these special conditions effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register. 

Comments Invited 

We invite interested people to take 

part in this rulemaking by sending 

written comments, data, or views. The 

most helpful comments reference a 

specific portion of the special 

conditions, explain the reason for any 

recommended change, and include 

supporting data. 

We will consider all comments we 

receive by the closing date for 

comments. We may change these special 

conditions based on the comments we 

receive. 

Background 

On June 13, 2012, Bombardier Inc. 

applied for an amended type certificate 

for their new Model BD–700–2A12 and 

BD–700–2A13 airplanes. The BD–700– 

2A12 and BD–700–2A13 augment the 

existing BD–700 family of airplanes, and 

are marketed as the Bombardier Global 

7000 and Global 8000, respectively. 

These are ultra-long-range, executiveinterior business jets equipped with 

Rockwell Collins ProLine Fusion 

Integrated Avionics System. These 

airplanes have a maximum certified 

passenger capacity of 19. 

The design of the Model BD–700– 

2A12 and BD–700–2A13 airplanes 

includes new high-speed transonic 

wings with improved aerodynamic 

efficiency, a pressurized cabin for 

luxury interiors, and they share an 

identical supplier base and significant 

common design elements. The current 

design roll-maneuver requirement in 

Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 25 is inadequate for 

addressing an airplane with electronic 

flight controls that affect maneuvering. 

These special conditions adjust the 

current roll-maneuver requirement, 

§ 25.349, to take into account the effects 

of an electronic flight-control system. 

Type Certification Basis 

Under the provisions of 14 CFR 

21.101, Bombardier Inc. must show that 

the Model BD–700–2A12 and BD–700– 

2A13 airplanes meet the applicable 

provisions of part 25 as amended by 

Amendments 25–1 through 25–136. 

If the Administrator finds that the 

applicable airworthiness regulations 

(i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain 

adequate or appropriate safety standards 

for the Model BD–700–2A12 and BD– 

700–2A13 airplanes because of a novel 

or unusual design feature, special 

conditions are prescribed under the 

provisions of § 21.16. 

Special conditions are initially 

applicable to the Model for which they 

are issued. Should the type certificate 

for that model be amended later to 

include any other model that 

incorporates the same novel or unusual 

design feature, or should any other 

model already included on the same 

type certificate be modified to 

incorporate the same novel or unusual 

design feature, these special conditions 

would also apply to the other model 

under § 21.101. 

In addition to the applicable 

airworthiness regulations and special 

conditions, the Model BD–700–2A12 

and BD–700–2A13 airplanes must 

comply with the fuel-vent and exhaustemission requirements of 14 CFR part 

34, and the noise-certification 

requirements of 14 CFR part 36. 

The FAA issues special conditions, as 

defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in accordance 

with § 11.38, and they become part of 

the type-certification basis under 

§ 21.101. 

Novel or Unusual Design Features 

The Model BD–700–2A12 and BD– 

700–2A13 airplanes will incorporate the 

following novel or unusual design 

features: 

The airplanes are equipped with an 

electronic flight-control system that 

provides control through pilot inputs to 

the flight computer. Current part 25 

airworthiness regulations account for 

control laws for which aileron 

deflection is proportional to controlstick deflection. They do not address 

nonlinearities or other effects on aileron 

actuation that electronic flight controls 

may cause. Because this type of system 

may affect flight loads, and therefore the 

structural capability of the airplanes, 

special conditions are needed to address 

these effects. 

Discussion 

These special conditions differ from 

current requirements in that they 

require that the roll maneuver is based 

on defined actuation of the cockpit roll 

control as opposed to defined 

deflections of the aileron itself. Also, the 

special conditions require an additional 

load condition at VA, in which the 

cockpit roll control is returned to 

neutral following the initial roll input. 

These special conditions differ from 

similar special conditions applied on 

previous programs. These special 

conditions are limited to the roll axis 

only, whereas previous special 

conditions also included the pitch and 

yaw axes. Special conditions are no 

longer needed for the pitch or yaw axes, 

because Amendment 25–91 takes into 

account the effects of an electronic 

flight-control system in those axes 

(§ 25.331 for pitch and § 25.351 for 

yaw). 

These special conditions contain the 

additional safety standards that the 

Administrator considers necessary to 

establish a level of safety equivalent to 

that established by the existing 

airworthiness standards. 

Applicability 

As discussed above, these special 

conditions are applicable to the Model 

BD–700–2A12 and BD–700–2A13 

airplanes. Should Bombardier Inc. apply 

at a later date for a change to the type 

certificate to include another model 

incorporating the same novel or unusual 

design feature, these special conditions 

would apply to that model as well. 

Conclusion 

This action affects only certain novel 

or unusual design features on 

Bombardier Inc. Model BD–700–2A12 

and BD–700–2A13 airplanes. It is not a 

rule of general applicability. 

The substance of these special 

conditions has been subjected to the 

notice and comment period in several 

prior instances and has been derived 

without substantive change from those 

previously issued. It is unlikely that 

prior public comment would result in a 

significant change from the substance 

contained herein. Therefore, because a 

delay would significantly affect the 

certification of the airplane, the FAA 

has determined that prior public notice 

and comment are unnecessary and 


rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 83 / Thursday, April 30, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 24193 

impracticable, and good cause exists for 

adopting these special conditions upon 

publication in the Federal Register. The 

FAA is requesting comments to allow 

interested persons to submit views that 

may not have been submitted in 

response to the prior opportunities for 

comment described above.

Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements. 

The authority citation for these 

special conditions is as follows: 

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

44702, 44704. 

The Special Conditions 

Accordingly, pursuant to the 

authority delegated to me by the 

Administrator, the following special 

conditions are issued as part of the typecertification basis for the Bombardier 

Inc. Model BD–700–2A12 and BD–700– 

2A13 airplanes. 

Design Roll Maneuver Condition 

In lieu of compliance to § 25.349(a): 

The following conditions, speeds, and 

cockpit roll-control motions (except as 

the motions may be limited by pilot 

effort) must be considered in 

combination with an airplane load 

factor of zero and of two-thirds of the 

positive maneuvering factor used in 

design. In determining the resulting 

control-surface deflections, the torsional 

flexibility of the wing must be 

considered in accordance with 

§ 25.301(b): 

1. Bombardier Inc. must investigate 

conditions corresponding to steady 

rolling velocities. In addition, 

conditions corresponding to maximum 

angular acceleration must be 

investigated for airplanes with engines 

or other weight concentrations outboard 

of the fuselage. For the angular 

acceleration conditions, zero rolling 

velocity may be assumed in the absence 

of a rational time-history investigation 

of the maneuver. 

2. At VA, sudden movement of the 

cockpit roll control up to the limit is 

assumed. The position of the cockpit 

roll control must be maintained until a 

steady roll rate is achieved and then 

must be returned suddenly to the 

neutral position. 

3. At VC, the cockpit roll control must 

be moved suddenly and maintained so 

as to achieve a roll rate not less than 

that obtained in Special Condition 2, 

above. 

4. At VD, the cockpit roll control must 

be moved suddenly and maintained so 

as to achieve a roll rate not less than one 

third of that obtained in Special 

Condition 2, above. 

Issued in Renton, Washington, on April 17, 

2015.
