14 CFR Part 25 

[Docket No. FAA–2018–0605; Special 

Conditions No. 25–730–SC] 

Special Conditions: Airbus Model 

A318, A319, A320 and A321 Series 

Airplanes; Electronic System Security 

Protection From Unauthorized External 

Access 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final special conditions; request 

for comments. 

SUMMARY: These special conditions are 

issued for the Airbus Model A318, 

A319, A320 and A321 series airplanes. 

These airplanes will have a novel or 

unusual design feature when compared 

to the state of technology envisioned in 

the airworthiness standards for 

transport category airplanes. This design 

feature is airplane electronic systems 

and networks that allow access from 

external sources (e.g., wireless devices, 

internet connectivity) to the airplane’s 

internal electronic components. 

The applicable airworthiness 

regulations do not contain adequate or 

appropriate safety standards for this 

design feature. 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. 

DATES: This action is effective on Airbus 

on June 28, 2018. Send comments on or 

before August 13, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The substance of these special 

conditions previously has been 

published in the Federal Register for 

public comment. These special 

conditions have 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 

finds that, for the same reason, good 

cause exists for adopting these special 

conditions upon publication in the 

Federal Register. 

Comments Invited 

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 may change these special 

conditions based on the comments we 

receive. 

Background 

On February 2, 2017, Airbus applied 

for a change to Type Certificate No. 

A28NM for the installation of electronic 

network system architecture or Flight 

Operations and Maintenance Exchanger 

(FOMAX) equipment in the Model 

A318, A319, A320 and A321 series 

airplanes. The Airbus Model A318, 

A319, A320 and A321 series airplanes 

are twin-engine, transport category 

airplanes with a passenger seating 

capacity of 136 to 230 and a maximum 

takeoff weight of 123,458 to 213,848 

pounds, depending on the specific 

design. 

Type Certification Basis 

Under the provisions of title 14, Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 21.101, 

Airbus must show that the Model A318, 

A319, A320 and A321 series airplanes 

as changed, continue to meet the 

applicable provisions of the regulations 

listed in Type Certificate No. A28NM or 

the applicable regulations in effect on 

the date of application for the change, 

except for earlier amendments as agreed 

upon by the FAA. 

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 Airbus Model A318, A319, A320 

and A321 series airplanes because of a 

novel or unusual design feature, special 

conditions are prescribed under the 

provisions of § 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, or should any other 

model already included on the same 

type certificate be modified to 

incorporate the same novel or unusual 

design feature, these special conditions 

would also apply to the other model 

under § 21.101. 

In addition to the applicable 

airworthiness regulations and special 

conditions, the Airbus Model A318, 

A319, A320 and A321 series airplanes 

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. 

The FAA issues special conditions, as 

defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in accordance 

with § 11.38, and they become part of 

the type certification basis under 

§ 21.101. 

Novel or Unusual Design Features 

The Airbus Model A318, A319, A320 

and A321 series airplanes will 

incorporate the following novel or 

unusual design feature: 

The installation and activation of 

electronic network system architecture 

or Flight Operations and Maintenance 

Exchanger (FOMAX) equipment that 

allows access from external sources 

(e.g., wireless devices, internet 

connectivity) to the airplane’s internal 

electronic components. 

Discussion 

The Airbus Model A318, A319, A320 

and A321 series airplane architecture 

and network configuration may allow 

increased connectivity to and access 

from external network sources and 

airline operations and maintenance 

networks to the aircraft control domain 

and airline information services 

domain. The aircraft control domain 

and airline information services domain 

perform functions required for the safe 

operation and maintenance of the 

airplane. Previously these domains had 

very limited connectivity with external 

network 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. 

The existing regulations and guidance 

material did not anticipate these types 

of airplane system architectures. 

Furthermore, 14 CFR regulations and 

the current system safety assessment 

policy and techniques do not address 

potential security vulnerabilities, which 

could be exploited by unauthorized 

access to airplane networks, data buses, 

and servers. Therefore, these special 

conditions are to ensure that the 

security (i.e., confidentiality, integrity, 

and availability) of airplane systems is 

not compromised by unauthorized

30316 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 125 / Thursday, June 28, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 

wired or wireless electronic 

connections. 

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 Model 

A318, A319, A320 and A321 series 

airplanes. 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 

feature, these special conditions would 

apply to that model as well. 

Conclusion 

This action affects only a certain 

novel or unusual design feature on 

Airbus Model A318, A319, A320 and 

A321 series airplanes. It is not a rule of 

general applicability.

Authority Citation 

The authority citation for these 

special conditions is as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 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 Airbus Model A318, A319, 

A320 and A321 series airplanes. 

1. The applicant must ensure that the 

airplane electronic systems are 

protected from access by unauthorized 

sources external to the airplane, 

including those possibly caused by 

maintenance activity. 

2. The applicant must ensure that 

electronic system-security threats are 

identified and assessed, and that 

effective electronic system-security 

protection strategies are implemented to 

protect the airplane from all adverse 

impacts on safety, functionality, and 

continued airworthiness. 

3. The applicant must establish 

appropriate procedures to allow the 

operator to ensure that continued 

airworthiness of the aircraft is 

maintained, including all post-typecertification modifications that may 

have an impact on the approved 

electronic system security safeguards.
