Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Waynesboro, VA, 14820-14822 [2011-6351]

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 53 / Friday, March 18, 2011 / Proposed Rules
passenger capacity of 110. Occupants
can move between decks via a staircase
located near door 2 on the main deck of
the airplane in the forward part of the
cabin. With large seating capacities on
the main deck and upper deck of the
747–8, the stairway must be designed to
support evacuation between decks of
the airplane in an in-flight emergency.
Discussion
The regulations governing the
certification of the 747–8 do not
adequately address the certification
requirements for a two-deck passenger
airplane. The Airbus A380–800 and all
of the earlier Boeing 747 passenger
airplane models were certified with
seating capacity on two separate decks.
When the seating capacity of the upper
deck of the Boeing 747 exceeded 24
passengers, the FAA issued Special
Condition No. 25–61–NW–1 for a
maximum seat capacity of 32 passengers
on the upper deck for take-off and
landing. A second set of special
conditions, Special Condition No.
25–71–NW–3, was issued to include
airplanes up to a maximum seating
capacity of 45 passengers on the upper
deck for take-off and landing. The
second set of special conditions was
modified to address airplanes with a
maximum seating capacity of 110
passengers on the upper deck for takeoff and landing. Special Conditions No.
25–326–SC for the Airbus A380–800
allowed a seating capacity on two
separate decks: The main deck with a
maximum passenger capacity of 542 and
the upper deck with a maximum
passenger capacity of 308. Although
these previously issued special
conditions for the A380–800 provided a
starting point for developing the 747–8
special conditions, the proposed 747–8
special conditions are specific to the
unique aspects of this airplane’s design.
The regulations do not adequately
address a passenger airplane with
separate decks for passenger occupancy,
thus the FAA considers this to be a
novel design. Therefore, the FAA is
proposing that special conditions, in
addition to the requirements of
§§ 25.803 and 25.811 through 25.813,
are required to address the proposed
design.

Applicability
As discussed above, these proposed
special conditions are applicable to
Boeing Model 747–8 airplanes. Should
Boeing apply at a later date for a change
to the type certificate to include another
model incorporating the same novel or
unusual design features, these proposed
special conditions would apply to that

model as well under the provisions of
§ 21.101.
Conclusion
This action affects only certain novel
or unusual design features of the Boeing
Model 747–8 airplane. 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 Proposed Special Conditions
Accordingly, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) proposes the
following special conditions as part of
the type certification basis for the
Boeing 747–8 airplanes.
1. The stairway must have essentially
straight route segments with a landing at
each significant change in segment
direction.
2. The stairway must have essentially
rectangular treads.
3. With the airplane in level attitude
and in each attitude resulting from the
collapse of one or more legs of the
landing gear, the stairway must have
entrance, exit, and gradient
characteristics that allow the upper deck
passengers, with assistance from a
crewmember, to merge with passengers
on the main deck during an emergency
evacuation and exit the airplane through
a main deck exit. This must be shown
by demonstration, tests, analysis, or any
combination thereof.
4. The stairway must accommodate
the carriage of an incapacitated
occupant from the upper deck to the
main deck. The crewmember
procedures for such carriage must be
established and included in the airplane
flight manual.
5. The stairway must be located to
provide occupants an adequate descent
rate under probable emergency
conditions, including a condition in
which an occupant falls or is
incapacitated while on the stairway.
6. The stairway must be designed and
located to minimize damage to its
structure during an emergency landing
or ditching.
7. General illumination must be
provided so, when measured along the
center lines of each tread and landing,
the illumination is not less than 0.05
foot-candle. This is in lieu of
compliance with § 25.812(c), at
Amendment 25–116.
8. Means must be provided to assist
passengers in locating the stairway in
dense smoke conditions as part of
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
compliance with § 25.811(c), at
Amendment 25–88.
9. An emergency exit sign meeting
§ 25.812(b)(1)(i), at Amendment 25–116,
must be provided in the upper deck
near the stairway visible to passengers
approaching along the main aisle as
required by § 25.811(d)(1), at
Amendment 25–88.
10. Floor proximity lighting required
by § 25.812(e), at Amendment 25–120,
must be provided along the stairs.
11. When passengers occupy the
upper deck, at least one flight attendant
must also be present during taxi, takeoff, and landing.
12. The stairway must have a handrail
on at least one side to allow occupants
to steady themselves during foreseeable
conditions, including but not limited to,
gear collapse on the ground and
moderate turbulence in flight. The
handrail(s) must be constructed so there
is no obstruction on them that will
cause the user to release his/her grip or
hinder the continuous movement of the
hands along the handrail. Handrail(s)
must be terminated in a manner that
will not interfere with occupants
walking by or create a hazard (such as
catching clothing). Boeing must
demonstrate that the design can
accommodate the stature of a fifth
percentile female and a ninety-fifth
percentile male.
13. The public address system must
be intelligible in the stairway during all
flight phases.
14. ‘‘No smoking’’ and ‘‘return to seat’’
signs must be installed and visible in
the stairway both going up and down
and at the stairway entrances.

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to create
additional Class E airspace at
Waynesboro, VA to accommodate new
standard instrument approach
procedures developed for Eagle’s Nest
Airport. Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
would be established for the safety and
management of IFR operations.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA
order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010,
and effective September 15, 2010, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document would be
published subsequently in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this
proposed regulation only involves an

established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current. It,
therefore, (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 that 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 United States Code.
Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the
agency’s authority. This proposed
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 airspace necessary to ensure the
safety of aircraft and the efficient use of
airspace. This proposed regulation is
within the scope of that authority as it
would establish additional airspace for
the Waynesboro, VA Class E airspace
area.
