8322 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 30 / Monday, February 14, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

from compliance with the applicable 

standards of airworthiness in effect on 

the date of application. 

Type Certification Basis 

Under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.17, 

PWC must show that the model PW210S 

turboshaft engine meets the provisions 

of the applicable regulations in effect on 

the date of application. The application 

date is December 5, 2005, which 

corresponds to 14 CFR part 33 

Amendment 20. However, PWC has 

elected to demonstrate compliance to 

later amendments of part 33 for this 

model. Therefore, the certification basis 

for the PW210S model turboshaft engine 

will be part 33, effective February 1, 

1965, as amended by Amendments 33– 

1 through 33–24. 

If the Administrator finds that the 

applicable airworthiness regulations in 

part 33, as amended, do not contain 

adequate or appropriate safety standards 

for the PWC model PW210S turboshaft 

engine, because of a novel or unusual 

design feature, special conditions are 

prescribed under the provisions of 

§ 21.16. 

The FAA issues special conditions, as 

defined by 14 CFR 11.19, in accordance 

with 14 CFR 11.38, which become part 

of the type certification basis in 

accordance with § 21.17(b)(2). 

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 another related model that 

incorporates the same or similar novel 

or unusual design feature, or should any 

other model already included on the 

same type certificate be modified to 

incorporate the same or similar novel or 

unusual design feature, the special 

conditions would also apply to the other 

model. 

Novel or Unusual Design Features 

The Pratt and Whitney Canada (PWC) 

model PW210S turboshaft engine will 

incorporate a novel or unusual design 

feature associated with engine operation 

in auxiliary power unit (APU) mode. 

Special conditions for APU mode are 

proposed to address the novel and 

unusual design feature. The special 

conditions are discussed below. 

Discussion 

The proposed special conditions are 

similar to those requirements that 

currently exist in 14 CFR part 33, 

§ 33.96 Engine Tests in Auxiliary Power 

Unit (APU) Mode. However the current 

rule only applies to turboprop type 

engines, therefore special conditions are 

needed to apply appropriate 

requirements to turboshaft type engines. 

Also, the type certification 

considerations for function and 

reliability are common between these 

two engine types in this regard, making 

requirements similar to current § 33.96 

generally applicable to turboshaft 

engine types. Future rulemaking may 

occur to expand the applicability of 

§ 33.96 to include turboshaft type 

engines. 

Applicability 

As discussed above, these special 

conditions are applicable to PWC model 

PW210S turboshaft engines. If Pratt and 

Whitney Canada applies later for a 

change to the type certificate to include 

another related model incorporating the 

same novel or unusual design feature, 

these special conditions would apply to 

that model as well. 

Conclusion 

This action affects only certain novel 

or unusual design features on one model 

of engine. It is not a rule of general 

applicability, and it affects only the 

applicant who applied to the FAA for 

approval of these features on the engine.

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 Pratt and 

Whitney Canada (PWC) model PW210S 

turboshaft engines. 

1. PART 1 DEFINITION. Unless 

otherwise approved by the 

Administrator and documented in the 

appropriate manuals and certification 

documents, the following definition 

applies to this special condition: 

‘‘Auxiliary Power Unit Mode’’ Engine 

operation with the main output shaft 

and power turbine locked and 

stationary, while the gas generator 

portion of the engine continues to 

operate, for the purpose of supplying 

the rotorcraft with electric/hydraulic/ 

pneumatic power (as applicable) while 

on the ground. 

2. PART 33 REQUIREMENTS: 

(a) Ground locking: A total of 45 

hours with the engine output shaft 

locked to simulate rotor brake 

engagement, in a manner which clearly 

demonstrates the complete engine’s 

ability to function without adverse 

affect while operating in the APU mode 

under the maximum conditions of 

engine rotor speed, torque, temperature, 

air bleed and power extraction as 

specified by the applicant. 

(b) Dynamic braking: A total of 400 

application-release cycles of simulated 

brake engagements must be made in a 

manner which clearly demonstrates the 

complete engine’s ability to function 

without adverse affect under the 

maximum conditions of engine 

acceleration and deceleration rate, rotor 

speed, torque and temperature as 

specified by the applicant. The engine 

output shaft must be stopped prior to 

brake-release. 

(c) One hundred engine starts and 

stops with the output shaft locked in a 

manner simulating rotor brake 

engagement. 

(d) The tests required by paragraphs 

(a), (b) and (c) of this section must be 

performed on the same engine, but this 

engine need not be the same engine 

used for the tests required by § 33.87 of 

14 CFR part 33. 

(e) The tests required by paragraphs 

(a), (b) and (c) of this section must be 

followed by engine disassembly to the

Persons interested in being placed on 

a mailing list for future NPRMs should 

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Livermore 

Municipal Airport, Livermore, CA. This 

action also would add the airport name 

and geographic coordinates to the Class 

E airspace designation. Controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

aircraft using the new ILS LOC standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Livermore Municipal Airport. Also, this 

action would correct a typographic error 

in the regulatory text of the Class D 

airspace area by correcting the word 

‘iport’ to ‘Airport’. This action would 

enhance the safety and management of 

aircraft operations at the Airport. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

5000 and 6005, respectively, of FAA 

Order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010, 

and effective September 15, 2010, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace 

designation listed in this document will 

be published subsequently in this 

Order. 

The FAA has determined this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed 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 will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified this proposed rule, when 

promulgated, would 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 for 

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 the 

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 establishes 

additional controlled airspace at 

Livermore Municipal Airport, 

Livermore, CA.
