The most helpful comments reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. We ask that you send us two copies of written comments. We will file in the docket all comments we receive, as well as a report summarizing each substantive public contact with FAA personnel concerning these special conditions. The docket is available for public inspection before and after the comment closing date. If you wish to review the docket in person, go to the address in the ADDRESSES section of this preamble between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. We will consider all comments we receive on or before the closing date for comments. We will consider comments filed late if it is possible to do so without incurring expense or delay. We may change these special conditions in light of the comments we receive. If you want the FAA to acknowledge receipt of your comments on this final action, include with your comments a pre-addressed, stamped postcard on which the docket number appears. We will stamp the date on the postcard and mail it to you. Background On January 10, 2002, Garrett Aviation Services, 1200 North Airport Drive—Capital Airport, Springfield, IL 62707, applied for a supplemental type certificate
(STC)to modify Dassault Aviation Fan Jet Falcon, Fan Jet Falcon Series C, D, E, and F, and Mystere-Falcon 20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-F5 airplanes approved under Type Certificate No. A7EU. The Dassault Aviation Fan Jet Falcon, Fan Jet Falcon Series C, D, E, and F, and Mystere-Falcon 20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-F5 are small transport category airplanes powered by two turbofan engines, with a maximum takeoff weight of 29,000 pounds. These airplanes operate with a 2-pilot crew and can hold up to 10 passengers. The modification incorporates the installation of a Rockwell Collins ProLine 21 Display System, consisting of dual Electronic Primary Flight Display systems which replace the existing Primary Flight Display systems, and a Rockwell Collins Attitude Heading Reference System, consisting of dual Electronic Primary Attitude Source systems. These systems have the potential to be vulnerable to high-intensity radiated fields
(HIRF)external to the airplane. Type Certification Basis Under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.101, Garrett Aviation Services must show that the Dassault Aviation Fan Jet Falcon, Fan Jet Falcon Series C, D, E, and F, and Mystere-Falcon 20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-F5 airplanes, as changed, continue to meet the applicable provisions of the regulations incorporated by reference in Type Certificate No. A7EU, or the applicable regulations in effect on the date of application for the change. The regulations incorporated by reference in the type certificate are commonly referred to as the “original type certification basis.” The certification basis for the modified Dassault Aviation Fan Jet Falcon, Fan Jet Falcon Series C, D, E, and F, and Mystere-Falcon 20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-F5 airplanes includes CAR 4b, dated December 1953, through Amendment 4b-12 and SR422B; and 14 CFR part 25, dated February 1, 1965, through Amendment 25-41, except for special conditions and exceptions noted in Type Certificate Data Sheet
(TCDS)A7EU. If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness regulations (i.e., CAR 4b and 14 CFR part 25, as amended) do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the Dassault Aviation Fan Jet Falcon, Fan Jet Falcon Series C, D, E, and F, and Mystere-Falcon 20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-F5 airplanes because of novel or unusual design features, special conditions are prescribed under the provisions of § 21.16. Special conditions, as defined in § 11.19, are issued in accordance with § 11.38, and become part of the type certification basis in accordance with § 21.101(b)(2). Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which they are issued. Should Garrett Aviation Services apply at a later date for design change approval to modify any other model already included on the same type certificate to incorporate the same novel or unusual design feature, these special conditions would also apply to the other model under the provisions of § 21.101(a)(1). Novel or Unusual Design Features As noted earlier, the Dassault Aviation Fan Jet Falcon, Fan Jet Falcon Series C, D, E, and F, and Mystere-Falcon 20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-F5 airplanes modified by Garrett Aviation Services will incorporate dual Electronic Primary Flight Display systems and dual Electronic Primary Attitude Source systems that will perform critical functions. The existing airworthiness standards of part 25 do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the protection of this equipment from the adverse effects of HIRF. Accordingly, these systems are considered to be novel or unusual design features. Discussion There is no specific regulation that addresses protection requirements for electrical and electronic systems from HIRF. Increased power levels from ground-based radio transmitters and the growing use of sensitive avionics/electronics and electrical systems to command and control airplanes have made it necessary to provide adequate protection. To ensure that a level of safety is achieved equivalent to that intended by the regulations incorporated by reference, special conditions are needed for the Dassault Aviation Fan Jet Falcon, Fan Jet Falcon Series C, D, E, and F, and Mystere-Falcon 20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-F5 airplanes modified by Garrett Aviation Services. These special conditions require that new avionics/electronics and electrical systems that perform critical functions be designed and installed to preclude component damage and interruption of function due to both the direct and indirect effects of HIRF. High-Intensity Radiated Fields
(HIRF)With the trend toward increased power levels from ground-based transmitters, plus the advent of space and satellite communications, coupled with electronic command and control of the airplane, the immunity of critical digital avionics/electronics and electrical systems to HIRF must be established. It is not possible to precisely define the HIRF to which the airplane will be exposed in service. There is also uncertainty concerning the effectiveness of airframe shielding for HIRF. Furthermore, coupling of electromagnetic energy to cockpit-installed equipment through the cockpit window apertures is undefined. Based on surveys and analysis of existing HIRF emitters, an adequate level of protection exists when compliance with the HIRF protection special condition is shown with either paragraph 1 or 2 below: 1. A minimum threat of 100 volts rms (root-mean-square) per meter electric field strength from 10 KHz to 18 GHz. a. The threat must be applied to the system elements and their associated wiring harnesses without the benefit of airframe shielding. b. Demonstration of this level of protection is established through system tests and analysis. 2. A threat external to the airframe of the field strengths indicated in the following table for the frequency ranges indicated. Both peak and average field strength components from the table are to be demonstrated. Frequency Field strength (volts per meter) Peak Average 10 kHz-100 kHz 50 50 100 kHz-500 kHz 50 50 500 kHz-2 MHz 50 50 2 MHz-30 MHz 100 100 30 MHz-70 MHz 50 50 70 MHz-100 MHz 50 50 100 MHz-200 MHz 100 100 200 MHz-400 MHz 100 100 400 MHz-700 MHz 700 50 700 MHz-1 GHz 700 100 1 GHz-2 GHz 2000 200 2 GHz-4 GHz 3000 200 4 GHz-6 GHz 3000 200 6 GHz-8 GHz 1000 200 8 GHz-12 GHz 3000 300 12 GHz-18 GHz 2000 200 18 GHz-40 GHz 600 200 The field strengths are expressed in terms of peak of the root-mean-square
(rms)over the complete modulation period. The threat levels identified above are the result of an FAA review of existing studies on the subject of HIRF, in light of the ongoing work of the Electromagnetic Effects Harmonization Working Group of the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee. Applicability As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to Dassault Aviation Fan Jet Falcon, Fan Jet Falcon Series C, D, E, and F, and Mystere-Falcon 20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-F5 airplanes modified by Garrett Aviation Services. Should Garrett Aviation Services apply at a later date for design change approval to modify any other model included on the same type certificate to incorporate the same novel or unusual design feature, these special conditions would apply to that model as well under the provisions of § 21.101(a)(1). Conclusion This action affects only certain design features on Dassault Aviation Fan Jet Falcon, Fan Jet Falcon Series C, D, E, and F, and Mystere-Falcon 20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-F5 airplanes modified by Garrett Aviation Services. It is not a rule of general applicability and affects only the applicant who applied to the FAA for approval of these features on the airplane. The substance of the special conditions for these airplanes has been subjected to the notice and comment procedure in several prior instances and has been derived without substantive change from those previously issued. Because a delay would significantly affect the certification of the airplane, which is imminent, the FAA has determined that prior public notice and comment are unnecessary and impracticable, and good cause exists for adopting these special conditions immediately. The FAA is requesting comments to allow interested persons to submit views that may not have been submitted in response to the prior opportunities for comment described above. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25 Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and record keeping requirements. The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704. The Special Conditions 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 Dassault Aviation Fan Jet Falcon, Fan Jet Falcon Series C, D, E, and F, and Mystere-Falcon 20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-F5 airplanes modified by Garrett Aviation Services. 1. *Protection from Unwanted Effects of High-Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF).* Each electrical and electronic system that performs critical functions must be designed and installed to ensure that the operation and operational capability of these systems to perform critical functions are not adversely affected when the airplane is exposed to high intensity radiated fields. 2. For the purpose of these special conditions, the following definition applies: *Critical Functions:* Functions whose failure would contribute to or cause a failure condition that would prevent the continued safe flight and landing of the airplane. Issued in Renton, Washington, on March 6, 2002. Kalene C. Yanamura, Acting Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service. [FR Doc. 02-6365 Filed 3-15-02; 8:45 am]
