SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA has determined that notice of, and
opportunity for prior public comment on, these special conditions are
impracticable because these procedures would significantly delay
issuance of the design approval and thus delivery of the affected
aircraft. In addition, the substance of these special conditions has
been subject to the public comment process in several prior instances
with no substantive comments received. The FAA therefore finds that
good cause exists for making these special conditions effective upon
issuance.

Comments Invited

    We invite interested people to take part in this rulemaking by
sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments
reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.
    We will consider all comments we receive on or before the closing
date for comments. We may change these special conditions based on the
comments we receive.

Background

    On February 9, 2009, Learjet Inc. applied for a type certificate
for their new Model LJ-200-1A10 airplane (hereafter referred to as the
``Model LJ-200''). The Model LJ-200 is a business class aircraft
powered by two high-bypass turbine engines with an estimated maximum
takeoff weight of 35,550 pounds and an interior configuration for up to
10 passengers.
    The Model LJ-200 includes an automatic takeoff thrust control
system (ATTCS) described as an automatic power reserve (APR) system.
Learjet has requested approval to use the APR as the performance level
in showing compliance with the approach climb requirements of Title 14,
Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 25.121(d). Part 25 appendix I
limits the application of performance credit for ATTCS to takeoff only.
Since the airworthiness regulations do not contain appropriate safety
standards for approach climb performance using ATTCS, special
conditions are required to ensure a level of safety equivalent to that
established in the regulations.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions of Sec.  21.17, Learjet Inc. must show that
the Model LJ-200 meets the applicable provisions of part 25, as amended
by Amendments 25-1 through 25-127 thereto, and part 26, as amended by
Amendment 26-1 through 26-2 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 LJ-200 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 Model LJ-200 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 Sec.  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 Model LJ-200 will incorporate the following novel or unusual
design features: An automatic takeoff thrust control system (ATTCS)
described as an automatic power reserve (APR) system that is available
at all times without any additional action from the pilot. This applies
during takeoff and go-around flight operations. The aircraft
performance data is based on the availability of the uptrim power
during takeoff and approach climb. This results in a novel or unusual
design feature for which the applicable airworthiness regulations do
not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards. Therefore,
special conditions are required that provide the level of safety
equivalent to that established by the regulations.

Discussion

    Learjet Inc. is proposing to use the APR function of the Model LJ-
200 during go-around and is requesting approach climb performance
credit for the use of the additional power provided by the APR uptrim.
The Model LJ-200 powerplant control system comprises a full authority
digital electronic control (FADEC) for the Pratt & Whitney Canada Model
PW307B engine. The engine FADEC system includes the APR feature. The
configuration provides for APR activation during go-around.
    The APR system is available at all times without any additional
action from the pilot. This applies during takeoff and go-around flight
operations. The aircraft performance data is based on the availability
of the uptrim power during takeoff and approach climb.
    The part 25 standards for ATTCS, contained in Sec.  25.904 and
appendix I to part 25 specifically restrict performance credit for
ATTCS to takeoff only. Expanding the scope of the standards to include
other phases of flight, including go-around, was considered at the time
the standards were issued. However, flightcrew workload issues in the
event of an engine failure during a critical point in the approach,
landing, or go-around operations precluded further consideration.
    The ATTCS incorporated on the Model LJ-200 allows the pilot to use
the same power setting procedure during a go-around regardless of
whether or not an engine fails. Since the ATTCS is always armed, it
will function automatically following an engine failure and advance the
remaining engine to the APR power level. This satisfactorily addresses
the flightcrew workload issues that were a concern when the ATTCS
standards were originally promulgated.
    Since the airworthiness regulations do not contain appropriate
safety standards to allow approach climb performance credit for ATTCS,
special conditions are required to ensure a level of safety equivalent
to that established in the regulations. The definition of a critical
time interval for the approach climb case, during which time it must be
extremely improbable to violate a flight path based on the Sec.
25.121(d) gradient requirement, is of primary importance. In the event
of a simultaneous failure of an engine and the APR function, falling
below the minimum flight path defined by the 2.5 degree approach,
decision height, and climb gradient required by Sec.  25.121(d) must be
shown to be an extremely improbable event during this critical time
interval. The Sec.  25.121(d) gradient requirement implies a minimum
one-engine-inoperative flight path capability with the airplane in the
approach configuration. The engine may have been inoperative before
initiating the go-around, or it may become inoperative during the go-
around. The definition of the critical time interval must consider both
possibilities.
    For approval to use the power provided by the ATTCS to determine
the approach climb performance limitations, the Model LJ-200 must
comply with the requirements of Sec.  25.904 and appendix I to part 25,
including the following special conditions pertaining to the go-around
phase of flight.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Model LJ-200-1A10. Should Learjet Inc. apply at a later date for a
change to the type certificate to include another model incorporating
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 airplanes. It is not a rule of general applicability.
    The substance of these special conditions has been subjected to the
notice and comment period in several prior instances and has been
derived without substantive change from those previously issued. It is
unlikely that prior public comment would result in a significant change
from the substance contained herein. Therefore, the FAA has determined
that prior public notice and comment are unnecessary and impracticable,
and good cause exists for adopting these special conditions upon
issuance. 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 recordkeeping
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 Learjet Model LJ-200-1A10 airplanes.
    1. General. An automatic takeoff thrust control system (ATTCS) is
defined as the entire automatic system, including all devices, both
mechanical and electrical, that sense engine failure, transmit signals,
actuate fuel controls or power levers, or increase engine power by
other means on operating engines to achieve scheduled thrust or power
increases and furnish flight deck information on system operation.
    2. ATTCS. The engine power control system that automatically resets
the power or thrust on the operating engine (following engine failure
during the approach for landing) must comply with the following
requirements stated in paragraphs 2a, 2b, and 2c:
    a. Performance and System Reliability Requirements. The probability
analysis must include consideration of ATTCS failure occurring after
the time at which the flightcrew last verifies that the

ATTCS is in a condition to operate until the beginning of the critical
time interval.
    b. Thrust or Power Setting.
    (1) The initial thrust or power setting on each engine at the
beginning of the takeoff roll or go-around may not be less than any of
the following:
    (i) That required to permit normal operation of all safety-related
systems and equipment dependent upon engine thrust or power lever
position; or
    (ii) That shown to be free of hazardous engine response
characteristics and not to result in any unsafe aircraft operating or
handling characteristics when thrust or power is increased from the
initial takeoff or go-around thrust or power to the maximum approved
takeoff thrust or power.
    (2) For approval of an ATTCS system for go-around, the thrust or
power setting procedure for the operating engine(s) must be the same
for go-arounds initiated with all engines operating as for go-arounds
initiated with one-engine-inoperative.
    c. Powerplant Controls. In addition to the requirements of Sec.
25.1141, no single failure or malfunction, or probable combination
thereof, of the ATTCS, including associated systems, may cause the
failure of any powerplant function necessary for safety. The ATTCS must
be designed to:
    (1) Apply thrust or power on the operating engine(s), following any
one engine failure during takeoff or go-around, to achieve the maximum
approved takeoff thrust or power without exceeding engine operating
limits; and
    (2) Provide a means to verify to the flightcrew before takeoff and
before beginning an approach for landing that the ATTCS is in a
condition to operate.
    3. Critical Time Interval. (Refer to figure 1 and figure 2 below.)
The definition of the critical time interval in part 25 appendix
I25.2(b) shall be expanded to include the following:
    a. When conducting an approach for landing using ATTCS, the
critical time interval is defined as follows:
    (1) The critical time interval begins at point A on a 2.5 degree
approach glide path. (Point A is the point on that glide path from
which, assuming a simultaneous engine and ATTCS failure, the resulting
approach climb flight path intersects, at point B, a flight path
originating at a later point on the same approach path corresponding to
the part 25 one-engine-inoperative approach climb gradient.) The period
of time, time interval AB, must be no shorter than the time in figure
2, I25.2(b) time interval FG. Figure 2 is reproduced from appendix I
and includes a change that identifies the time interval FG.
    (2) The critical time interval ends at point D on a minimum
performance, all-engines-operating go-around flight path from which,
assuming a simultaneous engine and ATTCS failure, the resulting minimum
approach climb flight path intersects the flight path (point E)
corresponding to the 14 CFR part 25 minimum one-engine-inoperative
approach climb gradient represented in figure 1 as the engine failed,
ATTCS operating flight path.
    The all-engines-operating go-around flight path and the 14 CFR part
25 one-engine-inoperative approach climb gradient flight path (engine
failed, ATTCS operating flight path in figure 1) originate from a
common point, point C, on a 2.5 degree approach path. The period of
time, time interval DE, from the point of simultaneous engine and ATTCS
failure, point D, to the intersection of these flight paths, point E,
must be no shorter than the corresponding time in figure 2, I25.2(b)
interval FG.
    b. The critical time interval must be determined at the altitude
resulting in the longest critical time interval for which one-engine-
inoperative approach climb performance data are presented in the
airplane flight manual.
    c. The critical time interval is illustrated in figure 1.

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR05MR13.013

    Note: Figure 2 is included for reference and clarity to show
time interval FG. It has not been included in previous special
conditions on the same subject and does not include any new
requirements. It does not change the meaning or intent of the
special conditions.
