incorporates the same or similar novel
or unusual design feature, the special
conditions would also apply to the other
model under § 21.101.
In addition to the applicable
airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the Model EMB–550
airplane must comply with the fuel vent
and exhaust emission requirements of
14 CFR part 34 and the noise
certification requirements of 14 CFR
part 36 and the FAA must issue a
finding of regulatory adequacy under
§ 611 of Public Law 92–574, the ‘‘Noise
Control Act of 1972.’’
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
§ 21.17(a)(2).

Novel or Unusual Design Features
The Model EMB–550 airplane will
incorporate the following novel or
unusual design features: New control
architecture and a full digital flight
control system which provides
comprehensive flight envelope
protections.

Applicability
As discussed above, these special
conditions are applicable to the Model
EMB–550 airplane. Should Embraer
S.A. apply at a later date for a change
to the type certificate to include another
model incorporating the same novel or
unusual design feature, the special
conditions would apply to that model as
well.
Conclusion
This action affects only certain novel
or unusual design features on one model
of airplanes. It is not a rule of general
applicability.

The authority citation for these
special conditions is as follows:
2. Failure States: Electronic flight
control system failures (including
sensor) must not result in a condition
where a parameter is limited to such a
reduced value that safe and controllable
maneuvering is no longer available. The
crew must be alerted by suitable means
if any change in envelope limiting or
maneuverability is produced by single
or multiple failures of the electronic
flight control system not shown to be
extremely improbable.

Discussion
The applicable airworthiness
regulation in this instance is 14 CFR
25.143. The purpose of § 25.143 is to
verify that any operational maneuvers
conducted within the operational
envelope can be accomplished smoothly
with average piloting skill and without
exceeding any structural limits. The
pilot should be able to predict the
airplane response to any control input.
During the course of the flight test
program, the pilot determines
compliance with § 25.143 through
primarily qualitative methods. During
flight test, the pilot should evaluate all
of the following:
• The interface between each
protection function,
• Transitions from one mode to
another,
• The aircraft response to intentional
dynamic maneuvering, whenever
applicable, through dedicated
maneuvers,
• General controllability assessment,
• High speed characteristics, and
• High angle-of-attack.
Section § 25.143, however, does not
adequately ensure that the novel or
unusual features of the Model EMB–550
airplane will have a level of safety
equivalent to that of existing standards.
This special condition is therefore
required to accommodate the the flightenvelope- limiting systems in the Model
EMB–550 airplane. The additional
safety standards in this special
VerDate Mar<15>2010
condition will ensure a level of safety
equivalent to that of existing standards.

14 CFR Part 71
The Proposed Special Conditions
Accordingly, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) proposes the
following special conditions as part of
the type certification basis for Embraer
S.A. Model EMB–550 airplanes.
1. General Limiting Requirements:
a. Onset characteristics of each
envelope protection feature must be
smooth, appropriate to the phase of
flight and type of maneuver, and not in
conflict with the ability of the pilot to
satisfactorily change airplane flight
path, speed, or attitude as needed.
b. Limit values of protected flight
parameters (and if applicable, associated
warning thresholds) must be compatible
with the following:
i. Airplane structural limits,
ii. Required safe and controllable
maneuvering of the airplane, and
iii. Margins to critical conditions.
Unsafe flight characteristics/conditions
must not result if dynamic
maneuvering, airframe and system
tolerances (both manufacturing and inservice), and non-steady atmospheric
conditions, in any appropriate
combination and phase of flight, can
produce a limited flight parameter
beyond the nominal design limit value.
c. The airplane must be responsive to
intentional dynamic maneuvering to
within a suitable range of the parameter
limit. Dynamic characteristics such as
damping and overshoot must also be
appropriate for the flight maneuver and
limit parameter in question.
d. When simultaneous envelope
limiting is engaged, adverse coupling or
adverse priority must not result.

System, which describes the application
procedure.
The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend
Class D airspace and Class E airspace
designated as an extension to Class D
surface area, to support new Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures
developed at Essex County Airport,
Caldwell, NJ. Airspace reconfiguration
is necessary due to the
decommissioning of the Paterson NDB
and cancellation of the NDB approach,
and for continued safety and
management of IFR operations at the
airport.
Class D and Class E airspace
designations are published in Paragraph
5000 and 6004, respectively, of FAA
Order 7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012,
and effective September 15, 2012, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document will 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,

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 amend Class D and Class E
airspace at Essex County Airport,
Caldwell, NJ.
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.

airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface and 1,200 feet
above the surface at Omak Airport,

aid is being decommissioned and,
therefore, removed from the legal
description. The size and shape of the
airspace will remain the same by using
the Airport Reference Point in
describing the airspace. This action
would enhance the safety and

Omak Airport, Omak, WA.
Class E airspace designations are

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend Class D airspace and Class E
airspace designated as an extension to Class D surface area, to support
new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures developed at Essex County
Airport, Caldwell, NJ. Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the
decommissioning of the Paterson NDB and cancellation of the NDB
approach, and for continued safety and management of IFR operations at
the airport.
Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in
Paragraph 5000 and 6004, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9W, dated
August 8, 2012, and effective September 15, 2012, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in
this document will 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

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 amend Class D and Class E airspace at
Essex County Airport, Caldwell, NJ.
This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
