**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
Reason for No Prior Notice and Comment Before Adoption

The FAA has determined that notice and opportunity for public comment are impractical and contrary to the public interest because the issuance of a design approval would significantly delay delivery of the affected aircraft. Therefore, we find that good cause exists for making these special conditions effective upon issuance.

Comments Invited

While we did not precede this with a notice of proposed special conditions, 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 will consider comments filed late if it is possible to do so without incurring expense or delay. We may change these special conditions based on the comments we receive. Background and Discussion

On December 21, 2009, Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH applied to amend Type Certificate No. H13EU to include the new Model MBB–BK117 D– 2. The MBB–BK117 D–2, which is a derivative of the MBB–BK117 C–2 currently approved under Type Certificate No. H13EU, is a Transport Category, 14 CFR part 29, twin engine conventional helicopter designed for civil operations. It is certificated with Category A performance and for day and night operation under visual and instrument flight rules. It is powered by two Turbomeca Arriel 2E engines with dual channel Full Authority Digital Engine Control systems and has four main rotor blades and a maximum gross weight of 8,046 pounds. It has an integrated modular avionics suite with three 6x8 inch multi-function displays termed the Common Integrated Global Avionics for Light Helicopters.

Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH proposes that the model MBB– BK117 D–2 use a novel and unusual design feature, which is a 30-minute power rating, identified in the Turbomeca Arriel 2E Engine Special Conditions No. 33–009–SC. 14 CFR 1.1 defines ‘‘rated takeoff power’’ as limited in use to no more than 5 minutes for takeoff operation. Thus, the use of takeoff power for 30 minutes will require special airworthiness standards, known as special conditions, to address the use of this 30-minute power rating and its effects on the rotorcraft. These special conditions will add requirements to the existing airworthiness standards in 14 CFR 29.1049 (Hover cooling test procedures), § 29.1305 (Powerplant instruments), and § 29.1521 (Powerplant limitations).

The following is a summary of the final special conditions:

In addition to the requirements of § 29.1049 (Hover cooling test procedures), the aircraft cooling effects due to use of the 30-minute power rating versus the Takeoff (5-minute) rating must be accounted for in the testing.

In addition to the requirements of § 29.1305, Powerplant Instruments, since this new 30-minute power rating has a 30-minute time limit associated with its use, the pilot must have the means to identify:

• When the rated engine power level is achieved,

• When the event begins, and

• When the time interval expires. In addition to the requirements of § 29.1521, Powerplant Limitations, a new 30-minute rating must be limited to no more than 30 minutes per use. This new rating will allow use of power above maximum continuous power (MCP) for 30 minutes.

Furthermore, the Model MBB–BK117 D–2 rotorcraft flight manual must include limitations on use of the 30- minute power rating to state that continuous use above MCP up to takeoff power is limited to 30 minutes. Type Certification Basis
Under 14 CFR 21.101, Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH must show that the MBB–BK117 D–2 model helicopter meets the applicable provisions of the regulations incorporated by reference in Type Certificate No. H13EU or the applicable regulations in effect on the date of application for the change to the type certificate. The regulations incorporated by reference in the type certificate are commonly referred to as the ‘‘original type certification basis.’’ The regulations incorporated by reference in Type Certificate No. H13EU are as follows: 1. 14 CFR 21.29 and 14 CFR 29 effective February 1, 1965 plus Amendments 29–1 through 29–40 for the new or changed parts with respect to the MBB–BK117 C–2 identified in the document ETYC 1183/09–MHa, supplemented with requirements from other amendments listed below. 2. 14 CFR 29 requirements with amendment through 29–51 for: 29.25, 29.59, 29.62, 29.67, 29.77, 29.81, 29.85, 29.143, 29.173, 29.175, 29.177, 29.351, 29.397, 29.562, 29.602, 29.865, 29.923, 29.1317, 29.1323, 29.1329, 29.1351, 29.1359, 29.1457, 29.1459, 29.1521, 29.1587, B29.5, B29.7 3. Equivalent Level Of Safety:

exits (b) 14CFR 29.1305, 29.1351(b)(6),

Airspeed & Powerplant indication green marking 4. Environmental Standards:

(a) 14 CFR 36 Appendix H at

amendment 36–25 5. The main differences between the MBB–BK117 C–2 and the MBB– BK117 D–2 are as follows: (a) Installation of Turbomeca Arriel

2E engines with FADEC control (b) New tail section including

composite structure and fanned tail rotor (FENESTRON) with composite blades (c) New cockpit indication system

using integrated modular avionics. (d) Auto Flight System as a standard

configuration of the MBB–BK117 D–2 (e) Main gearbox modifications to

support 30 minute run-dry capability (f) Maximum take-off weight

increased to 3650 kg In addition, if the regulations incorporated by reference do not provide adequate standards regarding


### 78696 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 250 / Wednesday, December 31, 2014 / Rules and Regulations

the change, the applicant must comply with certain regulations in effect on the date of application for the change. The FAA has determined that the Model MBB–BK117 D–2 must also comply with the noise certification requirements of 14 CFR part 36; and the FAA must issue a finding of regulatory adequacy under § 611 of Public Law 92– 574, the ‘‘Noise Control Act of 1972.’’ Regulatory Basis for Special Conditions

The Administrator has determined that the applicable airworthiness regulations (that is, 14 CFR part 29) do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the MBB–BK117 D22 model helicopter because of a novel or unusual design feature. Therefore, special conditions are prescribed under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.16.

The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in § 11.19, in accordance with § 11.38, and they become part of the type certification basis under § 21.101.

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, the special conditions would also apply to the other model. Novel or Unusual Design Features

The MBB–BK117 D–2 model helicopter will incorporate the following novel or unusual design feature:

• A 30-minute power rating. Applicability

These special conditions are applicable to the Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Model MBB–BK117 D2 helicopter. Should Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH apply at a later date for an amendment to the type certificate to include another model incorporating the same novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features on the Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Model MBB–BK117 D–2 helicopter. It is not a rule of general applicability. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 29
