Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 239 / Wednesday, December 13, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 74761 

1Transient airflow conditions may cause air 

pressure differences between compartments, before 

the ventilation and pressurization system is 

reconfigured. Additional transients occur during 

changes to system configurations such as pack shutdown, fan shut-down, or changes in cabin altitude; 

transition in bleed source change, such as from 

intermediate stage to high stage bleed air; and cabin 

pressurization ‘‘fly-through’’ during descent may 

reduce air conditioning inflow. Similarly, in the 

event of a fire, a small quantity of smoke that 

penetrates into an occupied area before the 

ventilation system is reconfigured would be 

acceptable under certain conditions described 

within this special condition. 

smoke or extinguishing agents between 

or throughout the main deck and upper 

deck passenger cabins. Similarly, we 

have revised the text of Special 

Condition a.2.(c) to clarify that smoke 

from a source below the main deck must 

not rise above armrest height on the 

main deck. 

Applicability 

As discussed above, these special 

conditions are applicable to the Airbus 

A380–800 airplane. Should Airbus 

apply at a later date for a change to the 

type certificate to include another 

model incorporating the same novel or 

unusual design features, these special 

conditions would apply to that model as 

well under the provisions of § 21.101. 

Conclusion 

This action affects only certain novel 

or unusual design features of the Airbus 

A380–800 airplane. It is not a rule of 

general applicability.

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 type certification 

basis for the Airbus A380–800 airplane. 

a. Requirements to prevent 

propagation of smoke or extinguishing 

agents between or throughout main deck 

and upper deck passenger cabins: 

1. To prevent such propagation, the 

following must be demonstrated: 

(a) Means to prevent hazardous 

quantities of smoke or extinguishing 

agent originating from the electrical 

equipment bays from incapacitating 

passengers and crew, and 

(b) Means to prevent hazardous 

quantities of smoke or extinguishing 

agent originating from one deck from 

propagating to the other deck via vents, 

stairways, and joints in the floor/ceiling. 

2. A ‘‘small quantity’’ of smoke may 

enter an occupied area only under the 

following conditions: 

(a) The smoke enters occupied areas 

during system transients 1 from below 

deck sources. No sustained smoke 

penetration beyond that from 

environmental control system transients 

is permitted. 

(b) Penetration of the small quantity 

of smoke is a dynamic event, involving 

either dissipation or mobility. 

Dissipation is rapid dilution of the 

smoke by ventilation air, and mobility is 

rapid movement of the smoke into and 

out of the occupied area. In no case, 

should there be formation of a light haze 

indicative of stagnant airflow, as this 

would indicate that the ventilation 

system is failing to meet the 

requirements of § 25.831(b). 

(c) The smoke from a smoke source 

below the main deck must not rise 

above armrest height on the main deck. 

(d) The smoke from a source on the 

same deck or above the deck must 

dissipate rapidly via dilution with fresh 

air and be evacuated from the airplane. 

A procedure must be included in the 

Airplane Flight Manual to evacuate 

smoke from the occupied areas of the 

airplane. In order to demonstrate that 

the quantity of smoke is small, a flight 

test must be conducted which simulates 

the emergency procedures used in the 

event of a fire during flight, including 

the use of Vmo/Mmo descent profiles and 

a simulated landing, if such conditions 

are specified in the emergency 

procedure. 

b. Requirement for fire detection in 

electrical equipment bays: 

A smoke or fire detection system that 

complies with 14 CFR 25.858(c) and (d) 

must be provided for each electrical 

equipment bay. Each system must 

provide a visual indication to the flight 

deck within one minute after the start of 

a fire in an electrical equipment bay. 

Airplane tests must be conducted to 

show compliance with this requirement, 

and the performance of the smoke or fire 

detection system must be shown, in 

accordance with Advisory Circular 25–

9A or by other means acceptable to the 

FAA.

[Docket No. 30526; Amdt. No. 3197] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures; Miscellaneous 

Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This amendment amends 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures (SIAPs) for operations at 

certain airports. These regulatory 

actions are needed because of changes 

occurring in the National Airspace 

System, such as the commissioning of 

new navigational facilities, addition of 

new obstacles, or changes in air traffic 

requirements. These changes are 

designed to provide safe and efficient 

use of the navigable airspace and to 

promote safe flight operations under 

instrument flight rules at the affected 

airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective December 

13, 2006. The compliance date for each 

SIAP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of December 

13, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations, part 97 (14 CFR part 97) 

amends Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures (SIAPs). The complete 

regulatory description of each SIAP is 

contained in the appropriate FAA Form 

8260, as modified by the the National 

Flight Data Center (FDC)/Permanent 

Notice to Airmen (P–NOTAM), which is 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 

CFR part 51, and § 97.20 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations. Materials 

incorporated by reference are available 

for examination or purchase as stated 

above. 

The large number of SIAPs, their 

complex nature, and the need for a 

special format make their verbatim 

publication in the Federal Register 

expensive and impractical. Further, 

airmen do not use the regulatory text of 

the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic 

depiction on charts printed by 

publishers of aeronautical materials. 

Thus, the advantages of incorporation 

by reference are realized and 

publication of the complete description 

of each SIAP contained in FAA form 

documents is unnecessary. The 

provisions of this amendment state the 

affected CFR sections, with the types 

and effective dates of the SIAPs. This 

amendment also identifies the airport, 

its location, the procedure identification 

and the amendment number. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is 

effective upon publication of each 

separate SIAP as amended in the 

transmittal. For safety and timeliness of 

change considerations, this amendment 

incorporates only specific changes 

contained for each SIAP as modified by 

FDC/P–NOTAMs. 

The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P–

NOTAM, and contained in this 

amendment are based on the criteria 

contained in the U.S. Standard for 

Terminal Instrument Procedures 

(TERPS). In developing these chart 

changes to SIAPs, the TERPS criteria 

were applied to only these specific 

conditions existing at the affected 

airports. All SIAP amendments in this 

rule have been previously issued by the 

FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an emergency 

action of immediate flight safety relating 

directly to published aeronautical 

charts. The circumstances which 

created the need for all these SIAP 

amendments requires making them 

effective in less than 30 days. 

Further, the SIAPs contained in this 

amendment are based on the criteria 

contained in TERPS. Because of the 

close and immediate relationship 

between these SIAPs and safety in air 

commerce, I find that notice and public 

procedure before adopting these SIAPs 

are impracticable and contrary to the 

public interest and, where applicable, 

that good cause exists for making these 

SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
