loss of all engines may be excluded 

when showing that unrecoverable loss 

of critical portions of the electrical 

system is extremely improbable. 

Unrecoverable loss of all engines is 

covered in 2, below, and thus may be 

excluded when showing compliance 

with this requirement. 

2. Regardless of any electricalgeneration and distribution-system 

recovery capability shown under 

paragraph 1, sufficient electrical-system 

capability must be provided to: 

a. Allow time to descend, with all 

engines inoperative, at the speed that 

provides the best glide slope, from the 

maximum operating altitude to the 

altitude at which the soonest possible 

engine restart could be accomplished, 

and 

b. Subsequently allow multiple start 

attempts of the engines and APU. This 

capability must be provided in addition 

to the electrical capability required by 

existing 14 CFR part 25 requirements 

related to operation with all engines 

inoperative. 

3. The airplane emergency electricalpower system must be designed to 

supply: 

a. Electrical power required for 

immediate safety, which must continue 

to operate without the need for crew 

action following the loss of the normal 

electrical power, for a duration 

sufficient to allow reconfiguration to 

provide a non-time limited source of 

electrical power. 

b. Electrical power required for 

continued safe flight and landing for the 

maximum diversion time. 

4. If APU-generated electrical power 

is used in satisfying the requirements of 

these special conditions, and if reaching 

a suitable runway upon which to land 

is beyond the capacity of the battery 

systems, then the APU must be able to 

be started under any foreseeable flight 

condition prior to the depletion of the 

battery or the restoration of normal 

electrical power, which ever occurs 

first. This capability must be 

demonstrated by flight tests at the most 

critical condition. 

a. It must be shown that the APU will 

provide adequate electrical power for 

continued safe flight and landing. 

b. The AFM must incorporate nonnormal procedures that will direct the 

pilot to take appropriate actions to 

activate the APU after loss of normal 

engine-driven generated electrical 

power. 

As a part of showing compliance with 

these special conditions, the tests by 

which loss of all normal electrical 

power is demonstrated must also take 

into account the following: 

1. The failure condition should be 

assumed to occur during night 

instrument meteorological conditions 

(IMC), at the most critical phase of the 

flight, relative to the worst possible 

electrical-power distribution and 

equipment-loads-demand condition. 

2. After the unrestorable loss of 

normal engine generator power, the 

airplane-engine restart capability must 

be provided and operations continued 

in IMC. 

3. It should be demonstrated that the 

aircraft is capable of continued safe 

flight and landing. The length of time 

must be computed based on the 

maximum diversion-time capability for 

which the airplane is being certified. 

Consideration for airspeed reductions 

resulting from the associated failure or 

failures must be made. 

4. The airplane must provide 

adequate indication of loss of normal 

electrical power to direct the pilot to the 

non-normal procedures, and the AFM 

must incorporate non-normal 

procedures that will direct the pilot to 

take appropriate actions.

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class D 

airspace at Santa Monica Municipal 

Airport, CA, to accommodate IFR 

aircraft departing and arriving at the 

airport. This action, initiated by FAA’s 

biennial review of the Santa Monica 

Municipal Airport airspace area, and 

based on the results of a study 

conducted by the Los Angeles Visual 

Flight Rules (VFR) Task Force, and the 

Los Angeles Class B Workgroup, would 

enhance the safety and management of 

IFR operations at the airport. Class D 

airspace designations are published in 

paragraph 5000, of FAA Order 7400.9V, 

dated August 9, 2011, and effective 

September 15, 2011, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D 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 would 

amend this proposal for controlled 

airspace at Santa Monica Municipal 

Airport, Santa Monica, CA.
