Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 5 / Wednesday, January 8, 2014 / Proposed Rules 1341 

intentionally creates asymmetric flap 

motions, the flap system installation of 

the Model A350–900 series does not 

meet the requirement of § 25.701(a) and 

(d). 

Applicability 

As discussed above, these proposed 

special conditions apply to Airbus 

Model A350–900 series airplanes. 

Should Airbus apply later for a change 

to the type certificate to include another 

model incorporating the same novel or 

unusual design feature, the proposed 

special conditions would apply to that 

model as well. 

Conclusion 

This action affects only certain novel 

or unusual design features on the Airbus 

Model A350–900 series airplanes. It is 

not a rule of general applicability.

The authority citation for these 

special conditions is as follows: 

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

44702, 44704. 

The Proposed Special Conditions 

Accordingly, the Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) proposes the 

following special conditions as part of 

the type certification basis for Airbus 

Model A350–900 series airplanes. 

1. Lateral Trim Function through 

Differential Flap Setting. 

Current airworthiness standards, 

specifically § 25.701, do not contain 

adequate safety standards for the 

proposed design. In lieu of the 

requirements of § 25.701(a) and (d) for 

the lateral trim function, the following 

special condition is proposed: 

a. Airbus must demonstrate that an 

unsafe condition is not created by using 

the flaps asymmetrically, 

b. The degree of acceptable 

asymmetry must be defined and 

justified for all flight phases with 

respect to: 

• § 25.701(b) and (c), with the worst 

case asymmetric flap configurations, 

and 

• providing equivalent protection 

against excess asymmetry in the same 

manner as § 25.701 provides to systems 

that are synchronized or use another 

equivalent means to prevent asymmetry. 

c. This lateral trim function is a flight 

control system and therefore must show 

compliance to both general system 

requirements as well as general flight 

control requirements. Therefore, the 

function must be demonstrated not to 

embody, where practicable, significant 

latent failures.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class D and Class E airspace at 

Traverse City, MI. Additional controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

new Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures (SIAP) at Cherry Capital 

Airport. Geographic coordinates of the 

airport also would be adjusted. The 

FAA is taking this action to enhance the 

safety and management of Instrument 

Flight Rules (IFR) operations for SIAPs 

at the airport. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before February 24, 2014.

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), part 71 by amending Class D 

airspace, Class E airspace designated as 

a surface area, and Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface to accommodate new 

standard instrument approach 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

1342 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 5 / Wednesday, January 8, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

procedures at Cherry Capital Airport, 

Traverse City, MI. Accordingly, an 

additional segment to the Class D 

airspace and Class E surface area would 

extend from the 4.4-mile radius of the 

airport to 5.3 miles south of the airport, 

and an additional segment to the Class 

E transition area would extend from the 

7.7-mile radius of the airport to 10.3 

miles south of the airport, to retain the 

safety and management of IFR aircraft in 

Class D and Class E airspace to/from the 

en route environment. Geographic 

coordinates would also be updated to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

Class D and Class E airspace areas are 

published in Paragraphs 5000, 6002 and 

6005, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013 and 

effective September 15, 2013, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. It, 

therefore, (1) is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant 

rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies 

and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant 

preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation 

as the anticipated impact is so minimal. 

Since this is a routine matter that will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this rule, 

when promulgated, will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106 describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the agency’s 

authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it would 

amend controlled airspace at Cherry 

Capital Airport, Traverse City, MI. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
