Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 30 / Monday, February 14, 2011 / Proposed Rules
from compliance with the applicable
standards of airworthiness in effect on
the date of application.
Type Certification Basis
Under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.17,
PWC must show that the model PW210S
turboshaft engine meets the provisions
of the applicable regulations in effect on
the date of application. The application
date is December 5, 2005, which
corresponds to 14 CFR part 33
Amendment 20. However, PWC has
elected to demonstrate compliance to
later amendments of part 33 for this
model. Therefore, the certification basis
for the PW210S model turboshaft engine
will be part 33, effective February 1,
1965, as amended by Amendments 33–
1 through 33–24.
If the Administrator finds that the
applicable airworthiness regulations in
part 33, as amended, do not contain
adequate or appropriate safety standards
for the PWC model PW210S turboshaft
engine, because of a novel or unusual
design feature, special conditions are
prescribed under the provisions of
§ 21.16.
The FAA issues special conditions, as
defined by 14 CFR 11.19, in accordance
with 14 CFR 11.38, which become part
of the type certification basis in
accordance with § 21.17(b)(2).
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 another related model that
incorporates the same or similar novel
or unusual design feature, or should any
other model already included on the
same type certificate be modified to
incorporate the same or similar novel or
unusual design feature, the special
conditions would also apply to the other
model.
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS
Novel or Unusual Design Features
The Pratt and Whitney Canada (PWC)
model PW210S turboshaft engine will
incorporate a novel or unusual design
feature associated with engine operation
in auxiliary power unit (APU) mode.
Special conditions for APU mode are
proposed to address the novel and
unusual design feature. The special
conditions are discussed below.
Discussion
The proposed special conditions are
similar to those requirements that
currently exist in 14 CFR part 33,
§ 33.96 Engine Tests in Auxiliary Power
Unit (APU) Mode. However the current
rule only applies to turboprop type
engines, therefore special conditions are
needed to apply appropriate
requirements to turboshaft type engines.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:09 Feb 11, 2011
Jkt 223001
Also, the type certification
considerations for function and
reliability are common between these
two engine types in this regard, making
requirements similar to current § 33.96
generally applicable to turboshaft
engine types. Future rulemaking may
occur to expand the applicability of
§ 33.96 to include turboshaft type
engines.
Applicability
As discussed above, these special
conditions are applicable to PWC model
PW210S turboshaft engines. If Pratt and
Whitney Canada applies later for a
change to the type certificate to include
another related model incorporating the
same novel or unusual design feature,
these special conditions would apply to
that model as well.
Conclusion
This action affects only certain novel
or unusual design features on one model
of engine. 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 engine.

special conditions is as follows:
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701–

The Proposed Special Conditions
Accordingly, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) proposes the
following special conditions as part of
the type certification basis for Pratt and
Whitney Canada (PWC) model PW210S
turboshaft engines.
1. PART 1 DEFINITION. Unless
otherwise approved by the
Administrator and documented in the
appropriate manuals and certification
documents, the following definition
applies to this special condition:
‘‘Auxiliary Power Unit Mode’’ Engine
operation with the main output shaft
and power turbine locked and
stationary, while the gas generator
portion of the engine continues to
operate, for the purpose of supplying
the rotorcraft with electric/hydraulic/
pneumatic power (as applicable) while
on the ground.
2. PART 33 REQUIREMENTS:
(a) Ground locking: A total of 45
hours with the engine output shaft
locked to simulate rotor brake
engagement, in a manner which clearly
demonstrates the complete engine’s
ability to function without adverse
affect while operating in the APU mode
under the maximum conditions of
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
engine rotor speed, torque, temperature,
air bleed and power extraction as
specified by the applicant.
(b) Dynamic braking: A total of 400
application-release cycles of simulated
brake engagements must be made in a
manner which clearly demonstrates the
complete engine’s ability to function
without adverse affect under the
maximum conditions of engine
acceleration and deceleration rate, rotor
speed, torque and temperature as
specified by the applicant. The engine
output shaft must be stopped prior to
brake-release.
(c) One hundred engine starts and
stops with the output shaft locked in a
manner simulating rotor brake
engagement.
(d) The tests required by paragraphs
(a), (b) and (c) of this section must be
performed on the same engine, but this
engine need not be the same engine
used for the tests required by § 33.87 of
14 CFR part 33.
(e) The tests required by paragraphs
(a), (b) and (c) of this section must be
followed by engine disassembly to the
extent necessary to show that each
engine part conforms to the type design
and is eligible for incorporation into an
engine for continued operation in
accordance with information submitted
in compliance with § 33.4, Instructions
for Continued Airworthiness.
(f) Brake engagement and release: The
effects on the engine of braking and
releasing the output shaft, including
partial or sudden events while the
engine is running, must be determined.

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which
describes the application procedure.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Livermore
Municipal Airport, Livermore, CA. This
action also would add the airport name
and geographic coordinates to the Class
E airspace designation. Controlled
airspace is necessary to accommodate
aircraft using the new ILS LOC standard
instrument approach procedures at
Livermore Municipal Airport. Also, this
action would correct a typographic error
in the regulatory text of the Class D
airspace area by correcting the word
‘iport’ to ‘Airport’. This action would
enhance the safety and management of
aircraft operations at the Airport.
Class D and Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph
5000 and 6005, respectively, of FAA
PO 00000

Order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010,
and effective September 15, 2010, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D and Class E 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 establishes
additional controlled airspace at
Livermore Municipal Airport,
Livermore, CA.
