Gulfstream apply at a later date for a 

supplemental type certificate to modify 

any other model included on Type 

Certificate No. A16NM to incorporate 

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 

Gulfstream Model G280 airplanes. 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 airplane. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25 

Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements. 

The authority citation for these 

special conditions is as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 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 typecertification basis for Gulfstream Model 

G280 airplanes modified by Gulfstream 

Aerospace Corporation. 

1. The EFVS imagery on the HUD 

must not degrade the safety of flight or 

interfere with the effective use of 

outside visual references for required 

pilot tasks during any phase of flight in 

which it is to be used. 

2. To avoid unacceptable interference 

with the safe and effective use of the 

pilot-compartment view, the EFVS 

device must meet the following 

requirements: 

a. EFVS design must minimize 

unacceptable display characteristics or 

artifacts (e.g. noise, ‘‘burlap’’ overlay, 

running water droplets) that obscure the 

desired image of the scene, impair the 

pilot’s ability to detect and identify 

visual references, mask flight hazards, 

distract the pilot, or otherwise degrade 

task performance or safety. 

b. Control of EFVS display brightness 

must be sufficiently effective, in 

dynamically changing background 

(ambient) lighting conditions, to prevent 

full or partial blooming of the display 

that would distract the pilot, impair the 

pilot’s ability to detect and identify 

visual references, mask flight hazards, 

or otherwise degrade task performance 

or safety. If automatic control for image 

brightness is not provided, it must be 

shown that a single manual setting is 

satisfactory for the range of lighting 

conditions encountered during a timecritical, high-workload phase of flight 

(e.g., low-visibility instrument 

approach). 

c. A readily accessible control must be 

provided that permits the pilot to 

immediately deactivate and reactivate 

display of the EFVS image on demand 

without removing the pilot’s hands from 

the primary flight controls (yoke or 

equivalent) or thrust control. 

d. The EFVS image on the HUD must 

not impair the pilot’s use of guidance 

information, or degrade the presentation 

and pilot awareness of essential flight 

information displayed on the HUD, such 

as alerts, airspeed, attitude, altitude and 

direction, approach guidance, wind 

shear guidance, TCAS resolution 

advisories, and unusual-attitude 

recovery cues. 

e. The EFVS image and the HUD 

symbols, which are spatially referenced 

to the pitch scale, outside view, and 

image, must be scaled and aligned (i.e., 

conformal) to the external scene and, 

when considered singly or in 

combination, must not be misleading, 

cause pilot confusion, or increase 

workload. Some airplane attitudes or 

cross-wind conditions may cause 

certain symbols, such as the zero-pitch 

line or flight-path vector, to reach fieldof-view limits such that they cannot be 

positioned conformably with the image 

and external scene. In such cases, these 

symbols may be displayed, but with an 

altered appearance which makes the 

pilot aware that they are no longer 

displayed conformably (for example, 

‘‘ghosting’’). 

f. A HUD system used to display 

EFVS images must, if previously 

certified, continue to meet all of the 

requirements of the original approval. 

3. The safety and performance of the 

pilot tasks associated with the use of the 

pilot-compartment view must not be 

degraded by the display of the EFVS 

image. Pilot tasks that must not be 

degraded by the EFVS image include: 

a. Detection, accurate identification, 

and maneuvering, as necessary, to avoid 

traffic, terrain, obstacles, and other 

hazards of flight. 

b. Accurate identification and 

utilization of visual references required 

for every task relevant to the phase of 

flight. 

4. Appropriate limitations must be 

stated in the Operating Limitations 

section of the Airplane Flight Manual to 

prohibit the use of the EFVS for 

functions for which EFVS has not been 

found to be acceptable.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued AD No. 2013– 

0097, dated April 24, 2013 (referred to 

after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

Currently, the automatic switching off of 

the water injection system as installed on L– 

410 and L–420 aeroplanes stops the water 

injection into the engines during engine 

power reduction when throttle control levers 

pass the position corresponding to 88–92% 

of gas generator speed. 

During a recent event, in-flight engine 

flame out occurred at take-off with water 

injection after reduction of engine power. 

This condition, if not corrected, could lead 

to further events of uncommanded in-flight 

engine shut-down or power loss, possibly 

resulting in forced landing, with consequent 

damage to the aeroplane and injury to 

occupants. 

Prompted by this occurrence, a procedure 

has been developed, instructing the flight 

crew to switch off the water injection system, 

prior to engine power reduction, to prevent 

any possible engine flame out. 

For the reasons described above, this AD 

requires an amendment of the Aircraft Flight 

Manual (AFM) by implementation of a 

procedure to manually switch off the water 

injection system, prior to any engine power 

reduction. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of the AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to our 

bilateral agreement with this State of 

Design Authority, they have notified us 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are issuing this 

AD because we evaluated all 

information provided by the State of 

Design Authority and determined the 

unsafe condition exists and is likely to 

exist or develop on other products of the 

same type design. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk to 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because there are no airplanes 

currently on the U.S. registry and thus, 

does not have any impact upon the 

public. Therefore, we find that notice 

and opportunity for prior public 

comment are unnecessary and that good 

cause exists for making this amendment 

effective in less than 30 days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety, and 

we did not precede it by notice and 

opportunity for public comment. We 

invite you to send any written relevant 

data, views, or arguments about this AD. 

Send your comments to an address 

listed under the ADDRESSES section. 

Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2013–0456; 

Directorate Identifier 2013–CE–011– 

AD’’ at the beginning of your comments. 

We specifically invite comments on the 

overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

this AD. We will consider all comments 

received by the closing date and may 

amend this AD because of those 

comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 0 

products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about 1 workhour per product to comply with the 

basic requirements of this AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of the AD on U.S. operators to 

be $0, or $0 per product. 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. ‘‘Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs,’’ describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

We are issuing this rulemaking under 

the authority described in ‘‘Subtitle VII, 

Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: 

General requirements.’’ Under that 

section, Congress charges the FAA with 

promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in 

air commerce by prescribing regulations 

for practices, methods, and procedures 

the Administrator finds necessary for 

safety in air commerce. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

because it addresses an unsafe condition 

that is likely to exist or develop on 

products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

We determined that this AD will not 

have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. This AD will 

not have a substantial direct effect on 

the States, on the relationship between 

the national government and the States, 

or on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 

the DOT Regulatory Policies and 

Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 

1979), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(4) Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History 

On February 21, 2013, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to modify controlled airspace at Pueblo, 

CO (78 FR 11996). 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 D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in 

paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9W 

dated August 8, 2012, and effective 

September 15, 2012, 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 that 

Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

modifying Class D airspace, Class E 

airspace designated as surface area, 

Class E airspace designated as an 

extension to Class D surface area, and 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface, at Pueblo, 

CO, to accommodate IFR aircraft using 

VOR/DME standard instrument 

approach procedures at the airport. The 

geographic coordinates of the airport for 

the Class D and Class E airspace areas 

are updated to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. This action is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations. 

The FAA has determined 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 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 

discusses 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 modifies 

controlled airspace at Pueblo Memorial 

Airport, Pueblo, CO. 

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.
