conditions based on the comments we receive. Background

On September 21, 2010, Cessna Aircraft Company applied for an amendment to Model 680 Type Certificate No. T00012WI.

The Model 680 ‘‘New Sovereign’’ is a twin-engine pressurized executive jet airplane with standard seating provisions for 14 passenger/crew and allowance for baggage and optional equipment. It will have a maximum takeoff weight of 30,775 pounds with a wingspan of 72.3 feet, a maximum operating altitude of 47,000 feet, and will have two aft-mounted Pratt & Whitney 306D engines.

The proposed Cessna Model 680 avionics architecture is novel or unusual for executive jet airplanes by allowing connection to airplane electronic systems and networks, and access from aircraft external sources (e.g., wireless devices, Internet connectivity) to the previously isolated airplane electronic assets. Cessna’s proposed design is considered by the FAA to be an architecture which introduces potential security risks and vulnerabilities not addressed in currentregulations and aircraft-level or systemlevel safety assessment methods. Consequently, this special condition has been produced to address security and safety issues arising from the use of this type of architecture, and foreseeable flight and maintenance applications impacted by these interconnected data networks and the addition of external access points. Type Certification Basis

Under Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 21.17, Cessna must show that the Model 680 series meets the applicable provisions of 14 CFR part 25, as amended by Amendments 25–1 through 25–128. The certification basis for the 680 (S/N –000501 and on) is documented and agreed to within the Cessna Aircraft Company Model 680 Block Point Change G–1 Issue Paper.

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 680 series because of a novel or unusual design feature, special conditions are prescribed under § 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, the proposed special conditions would also apply to the other model under § 21.101.

In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and proposed special conditions, the Cessna Model 680 series airplane 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 and the FAA must issue a finding of regulatory adequacy under § 611 of Public Law 92–574, the ‘‘Noise Control Act of 1972.’’

The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, under § 11.38,and they become part of the typecertification basis under § 21.17(a)(2). Novel or Unusual Design Features

The Cessna Model 680 will incorporate the following novel or unusual design features: Digital systems architecture composed of several connected networks. The proposed architecture and network configuration may be used for, or interfaced with, a diverse set of functions, including:

1. Flight-safety related control, communication, display, monitoring, and navigation systems (aircraft control functions);

2. Operator business and administrative support (operator information services);

3. Passenger information and entertainment systems (passenger entertainment services); and,

4. The capability to allow access to or by systems external to the airplane.

Discussion

The architecture and network configuration in the Cessna Model 680 Series airplanes may allow increased connectivity to, or access by, external airplane sources, airline operations, and maintenance systems to the aircraft control functions and airline information services. The aircraft control functions and airline information services perform functions required for the safe operation and maintenance of the airplane. Previously these functions and services had very limited connectivity with external sources. The architecture and network configuration may allow the exploitation of network security vulnerabilities resulting in intentional or unintentional destruction, disruption, degradation, or exploitation of data, systems, and networks critical to the safety and maintenance of the airplane. This configuration may also include the electronic transmission of field-loadable software (and hardware) applications and databases to the airplane, which would subsequently be loaded into the safety-related equipment and systems. The existing regulations and guidance material did not anticipate these types of airplane system architectures. Furthermore, 14 CFR regulations and current system safety assessment policy and techniques do not address potential security vulnerabilities, which could be exploited by unauthorized access to airplane systems, data buses, and servers. Therefore, these special conditions are issued to ensure that the security (i.e., confidentiality, integrity, and availability) of airplane systems is not compromised by unauthorized wired or wireless electronic connections.

For the reasons discussed above, 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 Cessna Model 680 Series airplanes. Should Cessna apply at a later date for a change 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 one model series of 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, the FAA has determined that prior public notice and comment are 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.

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 September 21, 2010, Cessna applied for a change to Type Certificate No. T00012WI in the digital systems architecture in the Cessna Model 680 series airplanes.

The Cessna Model 680 ‘‘New Sovereign’’ is a twin-engine pressurized executive jet airplane with standard seating provisions for 14 passenger/crew and allowance for baggage and optional equipment. This airplane will have a maximum takeoff weight of 30,775 pounds with a wingspan of 72.3 feet, a maximum operating altitude of 47,000 feet, and will have two aft-mounted Pratt & Whitney 306D engines.

The proposed Cessna Model 680 architecture is novel or unusual for executive jet airplanes by allowing connection to previously isolated data networks connected to systems that perform functions required for the safe operation of the airplane. This proposed data network and design integration may result in security vulnerabilities from intentional or unintentional corruption of data and systems critical to the safety and maintenance of the
