The Model EMB–550 airplane is the first of a new family of jet airplanes designed for corporate flight, fractional, charter, and private owner operations. The aircraft has a conventional configuration with low wing and T-tail empennage. The primary structure is metal with composite empennage and control surfaces. The Model EMB–550 airplane is designed for 8 passengers, with a maximum of 12 passengers. It is equipped with two Honeywell HTF7500–E medium bypass ratio turbofan engines mounted on aft fuselage pylons. Each engine produces approximately 6,540 pounds of thrust for normal takeoff. The primary flight VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:48 Feb 15, 2013 Jkt 229001 controls consist of hydraulically powered fly-by-wire elevators, aileron and rudder, controlled by the pilot or copilot sidestick. The Model EMB–550 airplane is equipped with an automatic braking system. This feature is a pilot-selectable function that allows earlier braking at landing without pilot pedal input. When the autobrake system is armed before landing, it automatically commands a pre-defined braking action after the main wheels touch down. This might cause a high nose gear sink rate, and potentially higher gear and airframe loads than would occur with a traditional braking system. Therefore, the FAA has determined special conditions are necessary. Type Certification Basis Under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.17, Embraer S.A. must show that the Model EMB–550 airplane meets the applicable provisions of part 25, as amended by Amendments 25–1 through 25–127 thereto. If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness regulations (i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the Model EMB–550 airplane because of a novel or unusual design feature, special conditions are prescribed under the provisions of § 21.16. 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 any other model that 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 Embraer S.A. 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 section 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 Embraer S.A. Model EMB–550 airplane is equipped with an automatic braking system, which is a pilotselectable function that allows earlier maximum braking at landing without pilot pedal input. When the autobrake PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 system is armed before landing, it automatically commands maximum braking at main wheels touchdown. This will cause a high nose gear sink rate, and potentially higher gear and airframe loads than would occur with a traditional braking system. Discussion These special conditions define a landing pitchover condition that accounts for the effects of the automatic braking system. The special conditions define the airplane configuration, speeds, and other parameters necessary to develop airframe and nose gear loads for this condition. The special conditions require that the airplane be designed to support the resulting limit and ultimate loads as defined in § 25.305. Applicability As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the Embraer S.A. 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.

Comments Invited

We invite interested people to take part in this rulemaking by
sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments

reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.
We will consider all comments we receive on or before the closing

Background

On May 14, 2009, Embraer S.A. applied for a type certificate for
their new Model EMB-550 airplane. The Model EMB-550 airplane is the
first of a new family of jet airplanes designed for corporate flight,
fractional, charter, and private owner operations. The aircraft has a
conventional configuration with low wing and T-tail empennage. The
primary structure is metal with composite empennage and control
surfaces. The Model EMB-550 airplane is designed for 8 passengers, with
a maximum of 12 passengers. It is equipped with two Honeywell HTF7500-E
medium bypass ratio turbofan engines mounted on aft fuselage pylons.
Each engine produces approximately 6,540 pounds of thrust for normal
takeoff. The primary flight controls consist of hydraulically powered
fly-by-wire elevators, aileron and rudder, controlled by the pilot or
copilot sidestick.
The Model EMB-550 airplane is equipped with an automatic braking
system. This feature is a pilot-selectable function that allows earlier
braking at landing without pilot pedal input. When the autobrake system
is armed before landing, it automatically commands a pre-defined
braking action after the main wheels touch down. This might cause a
high nose gear sink rate, and potentially higher gear and airframe
loads than would occur with a traditional braking system. Therefore,
the FAA has determined special conditions are necessary.

Type Certification Basis

Under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.17, Embraer S.A. must show that
the Model EMB-550 airplane meets the applicable provisions of part 25,
as amended by Amendments 25-1 through 25-127 thereto.
If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the Model EMB-550 airplane because of
a novel or unusual design feature, special conditions are prescribed
under the provisions of Sec. 21.16.
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 any other model that incorporates the same or similar
novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would also
apply to the other model under Sec. 21.101.
In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the Embraer S.A. 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 section 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 Sec. 11.38, and they become part of the type-
certification basis under Sec. 21.17(a)(2).

Novel or Unusual Design Features

The Embraer S.A. Model EMB-550 airplane is equipped with an
automatic braking system, which is a pilot-selectable function that
allows earlier maximum braking at landing without pilot pedal input.
When the autobrake system is armed before landing, it automatically
commands maximum braking at main wheels touchdown. This will cause a
high nose gear sink rate, and potentially higher gear and airframe
loads than would occur with a traditional braking system.

Discussion

These special conditions define a landing pitchover condition that
accounts for the effects of the automatic braking system. The special
conditions define the airplane configuration, speeds, and other
parameters necessary to develop airframe and nose gear loads for this
condition. The special conditions require that the airplane be designed
to support the resulting limit and ultimate loads as defined in Sec.
25.305.

Applicability

As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Embraer S.A. 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.

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

The Proposed Special Conditions

Accordingly, the FAA proposes the following special conditions as
part of the type certification basis for Embraer S.A. Model EMB-550
airplanes.

Landing Pitchover Condition

A landing pitchover condition must be addressed that takes into
account the effect of the autobrake system. The airplane is assumed to
be at the design maximum landing weight, or at the maximum weight
allowed with the autobrake system on. The airplane is assumed to land
in a tail-down attitude and at the speeds defined in Sec. 25.481.
Following main gear contact, the airplane is assumed to rotate about
the main gear wheels at the highest pitch rate allowed by the autobrake
system. This is considered a limit load condition from which ultimate
loads

[[Page 11611]]

must also be determined. Loads must be determined for critical fuel and
payload distributions and centers of gravity. Nose gear loads, as well
as airframe loads, must be determined. The airplane must support these
loads as described in Sec. 25.305.
