AGENCY: Federal Aviation

ACTION: Notice of proposed special 

conditions. 

SUMMARY: This action proposes special 

conditions for the Bombardier Inc. 

(Bombardier) Model BD–700–2A12 and 

BD–700–2A13 airplanes. These 

airplanes will have novel or unusual 

design features when compared to the 

state of technology envisioned in the 

airworthiness standards for transport 

category airplanes. These features are 

associated with an aluminum-lithium 

fuselage construction that may provide 

different levels of protection from postcrash fire threats than similar aircraft 

constructed from traditional aluminum 

structure. The applicable airworthiness 

regulations do not contain adequate or 

appropriate safety standards for this 

design feature. These proposed 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.

written comments, data, or views. The 

most helpful comments reference a 

specific portion of the special

receive. 

Background 

On May 30, 2012, Bombardier applied 

for an amendment to type certificate no. 

T00003NY to include the new Model 

BD–700–2A12 and BD–700–2A13 

airplanes. These airplanes are 

derivatives of the Model BD–700 series 

of airplanes and are marketed as the 

Bombardier Global 7000 (Model BD– 

700–2A12) and Global 8000 (Model BD– 

700–2A13). These airplanes are twinengine, transport-category, executiveinterior business jets. The maximum 

passenger capacity is 19 and the 

maximum takeoff weights are 106,250 

lbs. (Model BD–700–2A12) and 104,800 

lbs. (Model BD–700–2A13). 

Type Certification Basis 

Under the provisions of Title 14, Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 21.101, 

Bombardier must show that the Model 

BD–700–2A12 and BD–700–2A13 

airplanes meet the applicable provisions 

of the regulations listed in Type 

Certificate no. T00003NY, or the 

applicable regulations in effect on the 

date of application for the change, 

except for earlier amendments as agreed 

upon by the FAA. 

In addition, the certification basis 

includes other regulations, special 

conditions, and exemptions that are not 

relevant to these proposed special 

conditions. Type Certificate no. 

T00003NY will be updated to include a 

complete description of the certification 

basis for these airplane models. 

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 Model BD–700–2A12 and BD– 

700–2A13 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 


Lhorne on DSK30JT082PROD with PROPOSALS
74348 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 207 / Wednesday, October 26, 2016 / Proposed Rules 

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 Model BD–700–2A12 

and BD–700–2A13 airplanes must 

comply with the fuel-vent and exhaustemission 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 

Bombardier Inc. Model BD–700–2A12 

and BD–700–2A13 airplanes will 

incorporate the following novel or 

unusual design feature: The fuselage 

will be fabricated using aluminumlithium materials instead of 

conventional aluminum. 

Discussion 

The certification basis for the 

Bombardier Model BD–700–2A12 and 

BD–700–2A11 airplanes does not 

include the burn-through requirements 

defined in § 25.856(b) because both 

airplane models have a passenger 

capacity of fewer than 20. The Model 

BD–700–2A12 and BD–700–2A13 

airplanes are introducing a new material 

other than what has traditionally been 

shown to be survivable from a ‘‘toxic’’ 

standpoint. The applicant must ensure 

that the material being installed on an 

airplane does not introduce a new 

hazard that would reduce the 

survivability of the passengers during a 

post-crash situation, or that would 

provide levels of toxic fumes that would 

be lethal or incapacitating, thus 

preventing evacuation of the airplane in 

a crash scenario. 

In accordance with § 21.16, fuselage 

structure that includes aluminumlithium construction is an unusual 

design feature for large, transportcategory airplanes certificated under 14 

CFR part 25. 

Regulations applicable to burn 

requirements, including §§ 25.853 and 

25.856(a), remain valid for these 

airplanes, but do not reflect the threat 

generated from potentially toxic levels 

of gases produced from aluminumlithium materials. 

These proposed 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 

Bombardier Model BD–700–2A12 and 

BD–700–2A13 airplanes. Should 

Bombardier 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 the 

other model as well. 

Conclusion 

This action affects only certain novel 

or unusual design features on 

Bombardier Model BD–700–2A12 and 

BD–700–2A13 airplanes. It is not a rule 

of general applicability. 

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, the Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) proposes the 

following special conditions as part of 

the type certification basis for 

Bombardier Model BD–700–2A12 and 

BD–700–2A13 airplanes. 

The Model BD–700–2A12 and BD– 

700–2A13 airplanes must show that 

toxic levels of gases produced from the 

aluminum-lithium material, when 

exposed to a post-crash fire threat, are 

in no way an additional threat to the 

passengers, including, but not limited 

to, their ability to evacuate, when 

compared to traditional aluminum 

airplane materials.
