14 CFR Part 25

[Docket No. NM–137; Special Condition No.

25–ANM–123]

Special Condition: Boeing Model 747–

200B, High-Intensity Radiated Fields

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final special condition; request

for comments.

SUMMARY: This special condition is

issued for the Boeing Model 747–200B

airplanes. This airplane, as modified by

ARINC Incorporated, utilizes new

avionics/electronic systems, such as the

electronic flight information systems

(EFIS), which perform critical functions.

The applicable regulations do not

contain adequate or appropriate safety

standards for the protection of these

systems from the effects of highintensity radiated fields (HIRF). This

special condition contains 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: The effective date of this special

condition is February 12, 1997.

Comments must be received on or

before April 25, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this special

condition may be mailed in duplicate

to: Federal Aviation Administration,

Office of the Assistant Chief Counsel,

Attn: Rules Docket (ANM–7), Docket

No. NM–137, 1601 Lind Avenue SW.,

Renton, Washington 98055–4056; or

delivered in duplicate to the Office of

the Assistant Chief Counsel at the above

address. Comments must be marked:

Docket No. NM–137. Comments may be

inspected in the Rules Docket

weekdays, except Federal holidays,

between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

The FAA has determined that good

cause exists for making this special

condition effective upon issuance;

however, interested persons are invited

to submit such written data, views, or

arguments as they may desire.

Communications should identify the

regulatory docket and special condition

number and be submitted in duplicate

to the address specified above. All

communications received on or before

the closing date for comments will be

considered by the Administrator. This

special condition may be changed in

light of the comments received. All

comments submitted will be available in

the Rules Docket for examination by

interested persons, both before and after

the closing date for comments. A report

summarizing each substantive public

contact with FAA personnel concerning

this rulemaking will be filed in the

docket. Persons wishing the FAA to

acknowledge receipt of their comments

submitted in response to this request

must submit with those comments a

self-addressed, stamped postcard on

which the following statement is made:

‘‘Comments to Docket No. NM–137.’’

The postcard will be date stamped and

returned to the commenter.

Background

On January 26, 1995, ARINC

Incorporated of Annapolis, Maryland,

applied for a Supplemental Type

Certificate (STC) to incorporate the

installation of an Allied-Signal (Bendix

King) EFIS–10 Electronic Flight

Instrument System (EFIS) on a Boeing

Model 747–200B airplane. The

installation may be vulnerable to highintensity radiated fields (HIRF) external

to the airplane.

Boeing Model 747–200B series

airplanes are listed on Type Certificate

(TC) A20WE. The airplanes are

pressurized, large transport type

airplanes powered by four wingmounted turbofan engines.

Type Certification Basis

Under the provisions of § 21.101 of 14

CFR part 21, ARINC Incorporated must

show that the modified Boeing Model

747–200B continues to meet the

applicable provisions of the regulations

incorporated by reference in TC A20WE,

or the applicable regulations in effect on

the date of application for the change.

The regulations incorporated by

reference in the type certificate are

commonly referred to as the ‘‘original

type certification basis.’’ The regulations

incorporated by reference in TC A20WE

include the following for the Boeing

Model 747–200B series airplanes: 14

CFR part 25, dated February 1, 1965, as

amended by Amendments 25–1 through

25–8, plus Amendments 25–15, 25–17,

25–18, 25–20, and 25–39. In addition,

under § 21.101(b)(1), the following

regulations apply to the EFIS

installation: §§ 25.1303(b) and 25.1322,

as amended by Amendment 25–38;

§§ 25.1309, 25.1321(a)(b) (d) and (e),

25.1331, 25.1333, and 25.1355 as

amended by Amendment 25–41; and

§ 25.1316 as amended by Amendment

25–80. This special condition will form

an additional part of the type

certification basis.

If the Administrator finds that the

applicable airworthiness regulations

(i.e., CAR 4b or Part 25, as amended) do

not contain adequate or appropriate

safety standards for the Boeing Model

747–200B series airplanes because of a

novel or unusual design feature, special

conditions are prescribed under the

provisions of § 21.16 to establish a level

of safety equivalent to that established

in the regulations.

Special conditions, as appropriate, are

issued in accordance with 14 CFR part

11, § 11.49, of the FAR after public

notice, as required by §§ 11.28 and

11.29, and become part of the type

certification basis in accordance with

§ 21.101(b)(2).

Special conditions are initially

applicable to the model for which they

are issued. Should the applicant apply

for a supplemental type certificate to

modify any other model included on the

same type certificate to incorporate the

same novel or unusual design feature,

the special conditions would also apply

to the other model under the provisions

of § 21.101(a)(1).

Novel or Unusual Design Features

The Boeing Model 747–200B

incorporates new avionics/electronic

systems, such as the electronic flight

instrument system (EFIS), that perform

critical functions. These systems may be

vulnerable to HIRF external to the

airplane.

Discussion

There is no specific regulation that

addresses protection requirements for

electrical and electronic systems from

HIRF. Increased power levels from

ground-based radio transmitters and the

growing use of sensitive electrical and

electronic systems to command and

control airplanes have made it necessary

to provide adequate protection.

To ensure that a level of safety is

achieved equivalent to that intended by

the regulations incorporated by

reference, a special condition is needed

for the Boeing Model 747–200B, as
