Special Conditions: Gulfstream 

Aerospace Corporation Model GVII– 

G500 Airplanes; Electronic FlightControl-System Mode Annunciation 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final special conditions; request 

for comments. 

SUMMARY: These special conditions are 

issued for the Gulfstream Aerospace 

Corporation (Gulfstream) Model GVII– 

G500 airplane. This airplane will have 

a novel or unusual design feature when 

compared to the state of technology 

envisioned in the airworthiness 

standards for transport-category 

airplanes. This design feature is 

electronic flight-control-system (EFCS) 

mode annunciation. The applicable 

airworthiness regulations do not contain 

adequate or appropriate safety standards 

for this design feature. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

has determined that 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 March 29, 2012, Gulfstream 

applied for a type certificate for their 

new Model GVII–G500 airplane. The 

Model GVII–G500 airplane will be a 

business jet capable of accommodating 

up to 19 passengers. It will incorporate 

a low, swept-wing design with winglets 

and a T-tail. The powerplant will 

consist of two aft-fuselage-mounted 

Pratt & Whitney turbofan engines. 

Type Certification Basis 

Under Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) 21.17, Gulfstream 

must show that the Model GVII–G500 

airplane meets the applicable provisions 

of 14 CFR part 25, as amended by 

Amendments 25–1 through 25–129. 

If the Administrator finds that the 

applicable airworthiness regulations 

(i.e., part 25) do not contain adequate or 

appropriate safety standards for the 

Model GVII–G500 airplane 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 or similar novel 

or unusual design feature, the special 

conditions would also apply to the other 

model under § 21.101. 

In addition to the applicable 

airworthiness regulations and special 

conditions, Model GVII–G500 airplanes 

must comply with the fuel-vent and 

exhaust-emission requirements of 14 

CFR part 34, and the noise-certification 

requirements of 14 CFR part 36. The 

FAA must issue a finding of regulatory 

adequacy under section 611 of Public 

Law 92–574, the ‘‘Noise Control Act of 

1972.’’ 

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 

§ 21.17(a)(2). 

Novel or Unusual Design Features 

The Model GVII–G500 airplane will 

incorporate the following novel or 

unusual design feature: 

Electronic flight-control-system mode 

annunciation. 

Discussion 

These special conditions for flightcontrol-system mode annunciation, 

applicable to the Gulfstream Model 

GVII–G500 airplane, require that 

suitable mode annunciation be provided 

to the flightcrew for events that 

significantly change the operating mode 

of the system but do not merit the 

classic ‘‘failure warning.’’ 

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 

Gulfstream Model GVII–G500 airplane. 

Should Gulfstream 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 a certain 

novel or unusual design feature on one 

model series of airplane. 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, the FAA 

has determined that prior public notice 

and comment is unnecessary, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We have received reports indicating 

that an FCM will reset if continuously 

powered on for 22 days. This condition, 

if not corrected, could result in 

simultaneous resets of all three FCMs, 

which could result in flight control 

surfaces not moving in response to flight 

crew inputs for a short time and 

consequent temporary loss of 

controllability. We are issuing this AD 

to correct the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed Boeing Alert Service 

Bulletin B787–81205–SB270040–00, 

Issue 001, dated November 25, 2016. 

The service information describes 

procedures for cycling the airplane 

electrical power and cycling power to 

the three FCMs. This service 

information is reasonably available 

because the interested parties have 

access to it through their normal course 

of business or by the means identified 

in the ADDRESSES section. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are issuing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of the same 

type design. 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires accomplishing the 

actions specified in the service 

information described previously. For 

information on the procedures and 

compliance times, see this service 

information at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2016– 

9436. 

Interim Action 

We consider this AD interim action. 

Boeing and its suppliers are developing 

a terminating solution to address the 

identified unsafe condition. Once this 

terminating solution is developed, 

approved, and available, we might 

consider additional rulemaking. 

FAA’s Justification and Determination 

of the Effective Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk to 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because simultaneous resets of all 

three FCMs could result in flight control 

surfaces not moving in response to flight 

crew inputs for a short time and 

consequent temporary loss of 

controllability. Therefore, we find that 

notice and opportunity for prior public 

comment are impracticable and that 

good cause exists for making this 

amendment effective in less than 30 

days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety and
