[Docket No. 136CE, Special Condition 23–

ACE–88]

Special Conditions; Ballistic Recovery

Systems Cirrus SR–20 Installation

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final special conditions.

SUMMARY: These special conditions are

being issued to become part of the type

certification basis for the Ballistic

Recovery Systems, Inc., (BRS) parachute

recovery system installed in the Cirrus

SR–20 Model airplane. This system is

referred to as the General Aviation

Recovery Device (GARD). Airplanes

modified to use this system will

incorporate novel or unusual design

features for which the applicable

airworthiness regulations do not contain

adequate or appropriate safety

standards. These special conditions

contain the additional airworthiness

standards that the Administrator

considers necessary to establish a level

of safety equivalent to the original

certification basis for these airplanes.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 17, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On March 7, 1996, Cirrus Design,

4515 Taylor Circle, Duluth, MN 55811,

filed an application for a type certificate

(TC). Included in this TC application

was the provision to install the BRS

GARD parachute recovery system as

standard equipment on each Cirrus

Model SR–20 airplane. The parachute

recovery system is intended to recover

an airplane in emergency situations

such as mid-air collision, loss of engine

power, loss of airplane control, severe

structural failure, pilot disorientation, or

pilot incapacitation with a passenger on

board. The GARD system, which is only

used as a last resort, is intended to

prevent serious injuries to the airplane

occupants by parachuting the airplane

to the ground.

The parachute recovery system

consists of a parachute packed in a

canister mounted on the airframe. A

solid propellant rocket motor deploys

the canopy and is located on the side of

the canister. A door positioned above

the canister seals the canister, parachute

canopy, and rocket motor from the

elements and provides free exit when

the canopy is deployed. The system is

deployed by a mechanical pull handle

mounted so that the pilot and passenger

can reach it. At least two separate and
