67292 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 218 / Tuesday, November 12, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

Type Certification Basis 

Under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.17, 

Bombardier Inc. must show that the Cseries airplanes meet the applicable 

provisions of part 25 as amended by 

Amendments 25–1 through 25–129 

thereto. 

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 C-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 or similar novel 

or unusual design feature, the special 

conditions would also apply to the other 

model. 

In addition to the applicable 

airworthiness regulations and special 

conditions, the C-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, 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, in accordance 

with § 11.38, and they become part of 

the type certification basis under 

§ 21.17(a)(2). 

Novel or Unusual Design Features 

The C-series airplanes will 

incorporate the following novel or 

unusual design features: 

The airplanes are equipped with an 

electronic flight control system that 

provides control through pilot inputs to 

the flight computer. Current part 25 

airworthiness regulations account for 

control laws for which aileron 

deflection is proportional to control 

stick deflection. They do not address 

any nonlinearities or other effects on 

aileron actuation that may be caused by 

electronic flight controls. Since this type 

of system may affect flight loads, and 

therefore the structural capability of the 

airplanes, special conditions are needed 

to address these effects. 

Discussion 

These special conditions differ from 

current requirements in that they 

require that the roll maneuver be based 

on defined actuation of the cockpit roll 

control as opposed to defined 

deflections of the aileron itself. Also, the 

special conditions require an additional 

load condition at VA, in which the 

cockpit roll control is returned to 

neutral following the initial roll input. 

These special conditions differ from 

similar special conditions applied on 

previous programs. These special 

conditions are limited to the roll axis 

only, whereas previous special 

conditions also included the pitch and 

yaw axes. Special conditions are no 

longer needed for the pitch or yaw axes, 

because Amendment 25–91 takes into 

account the effects of an electronic flight 

control system in those axes (§ 25.331 

for pitch and § 25.351 for yaw). 

Applicability 

As discussed above, these special 

conditions are applicable to the Models 

BD–500–1A10 and BD–500–1A11 series 

airplanes. Should Bombardier Inc. 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 two 

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, because a 

delay would significantly affect the 

certification of the airplanes, the FAA 

has determined that prior public notice 

and comment are unnecessary and 

impracticable, 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.

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 Bombardier 

Inc. Models BD–500–1A10 and BD– 

500–1A11 series airplanes. 

Design Roll Maneuver Condition 

In lieu of compliance to § 25.349(a): 

The following conditions, speeds, and 

cockpit roll control motions (except as 

the motions may be limited by pilot 

effort) must be considered in 

combination with an airplane load 

factor of zero and of two-thirds of the 

positive maneuvering factor used in 

design. In determining the resulting 

control surface deflections, the torsional 

flexibility of the wing must be 

considered in accordance with 

§ 25.301(b): 

1. Conditions corresponding to steady 

rolling velocities must be investigated. 

In addition, conditions corresponding to 

maximum angular acceleration must be 

investigated for airplanes with engines 

or other weight concentrations outboard 

of the fuselage. For the angular 

acceleration conditions, zero rolling 

velocity may be assumed in the absence 

of a rational time history investigation 

of the maneuver. 

2. At VA, sudden movement of the 

cockpit roll control up to the limit is 

assumed. The position of the cockpit 

roll control must be maintained until a 

steady roll rate is achieved and then 

must be returned suddenly to the 

neutral position. 

3. At VC, the cockpit roll control must 

be moved suddenly and maintained so 

as to achieve a roll rate not less than 

that obtained in paragraph (2). 

4. At VD, the cockpit roll control must 

be moved suddenly and maintained so 

as to achieve a roll rate not less than one 

third of that obtained in paragraph (2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On August 12, 2013, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class E airspace for the 

Carlsbad, NM, area, creating additional 

controlled airspace at Cavern City Air 

Terminal (78 FR 48839) Docket No. 

FAA–2013–0173. Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No comments were received. Class E 

airspace designations are published in 

paragraph 6005 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 E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

amending Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to contain aircraft executing new 

standard instrument approach 

procedures at Cavern City Air Terminal, 

Carlsbad, NM. Accordingly, an 

additional segment will extend from the 

7.4-mile radius of the airport to 10.7 

miles southwest of the airport, to retain 

the safety and management of IFR 

aircraft in Class E airspace to/from the 

en route environment. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does 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 amends 

controlled airspace at Cavern City Air 

Terminal, Carlsbad, NM. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
