Amendment of Class D and E Airspace and Establishment of Class E Airspace; Alton/St. Louis, IL, 43425-43427 [2020-15360]
Download as PDF
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 138 / Friday, July 17, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
do not address potential security
vulnerabilities, which could be
exploited by unauthorized access to
airplane networks and servers.
Therefore, these special conditions
ensure that the security of airplane
systems and networks is not
compromised by unauthorized wired or
wireless internal access.
These special conditions contain the
additional safety standards that the
Administrator considers necessary to
establish a level of safety equivalent to
that established by the existing
airworthiness standards.
Applicability
As discussed above, these special
conditions are applicable to Textron
Model 550, 560, and 560XL airplanes.
Should Avidyne Corporation apply at a
later date for a supplemental type
certificate to modify any other model
included on Type Certificate No. A22CE
to incorporate 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 airplane. It is not a rule of general
applicability and affects only the
applicant who applied to the FAA for
approval of the features on the airplane.

The Special Conditions
D Accordingly, pursuant to the
authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the following special
conditions are issued as part of the type
certification basis for Textron Model
550, 560, and 560XL airplanes, as
modified by Avidyne Corporation, for
airplane electronic-system security
protection from unauthorized internal
access.
1. The applicant must ensure that the
design provides isolation from, or
airplane electronic-system security
protection against, access by
unauthorized sources internal to the
airplane. The design must prevent
inadvertent and malicious changes to,
and all adverse impacts upon, airplane
equipment, systems, networks, or other
assets required for safe flight and
operations.

operator to ensure that continued
airworthiness of the airplane is
maintained, including all post-typecertification modifications that may
have an impact on the approved
electronic-system security safeguards.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
*
*
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current, is non-controversial and
unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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 only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when
promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

during the specific dates and times
established in advance by a Notice to
Airmen. The effective date and time will

Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental

paragraph 5–6.5.a. This airspace action
is not expected to cause any potentially

radius of St. Louis Regional Airport to 7 miles (increased from 6.1
miles) north of the Civic Memorial NDB (previously the airport);
updates the header of the airspace legal description to Alton/St.
Louis, IL (previously Alton, IL) to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database; removes the city associated with the airport in
the airspace legal description to comply with changes to FAA Order
7400.2M; updates the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA's aeronautical database; and replaces the outdated term
``Airport/Facility Directory'' with ``Chart Supplement'';
And establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface within a 6.9-mile radius St. Louis Regional Airport;
and within 2.5 miles each side of the 008[deg] bearing from the Civic
Memorial NDB extending from the 6.9-mile radius of the airport to 7
miles north of the Civic Memorial NDB. (This airspace was previously
contained within the St. Louis, MO, Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface airspace legal description; however,
with this amendment, the airspace no longer adjoins, and a separate
airspace legal description is being established by this action.)
This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the outer marker to runway 29 at St. Louis Regional
Airport which provided navigational information to this airport.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
