SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under the provisions of the Bilateral
Aviation Safety Agreement (BASA)
between the United States and
Germany, the German aviation
airworthiness authority, the LuftfahrtBundesamt (LBA), forwarded an
application for type validation of the
Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH
Company KG (ZLT) model LZ N07
airship on October 1, 2001. The LZ N07
has a rigid structure, 290,330 cubic foot
displacement and has accommodations
for twelve passengers and two
crewmembers. The airship will meet the
provisions of the FAA normal category
for airships; additionally, an operator of
this airship may petition for exemption
to operate the airship in other desired
operations. The airship will be
certificated for day and night visual
flight rules (VFR).
Discussion of Comments
On April 10, 2007, the Federal
Aviation Administration issued a notice
of availability of proposed airworthiness
design criteria for the ZLT model LZ
N07 airship. The criteria was the
certification basis accepted for the U.S.
validated of the airship according to 14
CFR part 21, § 21.17(b). This criteria
consisted of the German national
¨
standard Lufttuchtigkeitsforderungen
¨
fur Luftschiffe der Kategorien Normal
und Zubringer (LFLS) [Airworthiness
Requirements: Normal and Commuter
Category Airships] and equivalent
requirements identified by the national
aviation authority of Germany, the LBA.
The notice was published for public
comment on May 3, 2007 (72 FR 24656).
The comment period closed on June 4,
2007.
A commenter from the airship design
industry requested that we extend the
comment period for the proposed design
criteria. We agreed and issued the
reopening of the comment period on
July 7 and published a notice on July 16,
2007 (72FR 38858).
Three commenters provided their
comments on the notice. While the
notice was not a notice of a regulatory
change or requirement, the FAA is
responding to the comments.

Two commenters came from firms
that proposed to operate airships. These
comments were supportive of the
standard and the process.
The third commenter came from an
airship manufacturer, which provided
extensive comments as discussed below
in the sections of the LFLS.
General Comment
In its decision to accept the German
LFLS certification requirements, the
FAA has stated, ‘‘the LFLS requirements
are at least equivalent to and, in many
cases, more conservative than the
requirements for the normal category
contained in the ADC.’’ The LFLS
requirements are for an airship designed
to meet a ‘‘commuter’’ category for
carrying passengers, hence a higher
level of safety is appropriate. [Note:
ADC means Airship Design Criteria.]
By this statement, it is implied that
the ZLT airship will meet a higher
standard of certification, where in fact,
the airship does not currently meet
several critical safety requirements in
both the LFLS and FAA–P–8110–2
Design Criteria. It has, therefore, been
designed and accepted to a lesser
standard.
More importantly, several of the
claims by ZLT to demonstrate an
equivalent level of safety are not
supported by reasonable argument but
are really requests for exemption. They
are also at odds with FAA
determinations in previous U.S. airship
certification programs in critical areas
affecting safety of flight and in FAA
efforts for standardization.
In reviewing the ZLT exemptions, it
also became apparent that the Zeppelin
airship design is a significant departure
from a conventional non rigid design.
The industry and the FAA understand
that the designation of conventional non
rigid design implies a certain level of
capability, especially in emergency
conditions, and, therefore a certain level
of operating environment has been
granted. If the applicant continues to
seek exemptions or if these exemptions
are granted, it is more appropriate to
call this airship a hybrid and, thus,
issue special operating limitations,
which limit the regime it can fly in.
Generally, it is not understood why
such latitude is being contemplated. In
previous U.S. airship certification
programs, the FAA has rigidly applied,
and the airship industry has rigidly
complied with certain fundamental
airship certification requirements with
no exemptions being granted. The ZLT
airship certification program in
Germany does not appear to have met
some of these basic requirements. In
addition, the FAA would appear to be
