[Docket No. FAA-2015-1940; Special Conditions No. 25-597-SC]
Special Conditions: Bombardier Aerospace Inc. Model BD-500-1A10
and BD-500-1A11 Airplanes; Flight-Envelope Protection, High Incidence
Protection Function
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final special conditions, request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: These special conditions are issued for the Bombardier
Aerospace Inc. Model BD-500-1A10 and -A11 airplanes. These airplanes
will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the state
of technology and design envisioned in the airworthiness standards for
transport-category airplanes. This design feature is a high incidence
protection system that limits the angle of attack at which the airplane
can be flown during normal low-speed operation. The applicable
airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety
standards for this design feature. 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.
DATES: This action is effective on Bombardier Aerospace Inc. on
September 15, 2015. We must receive your comments by October 30, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA has determined that notice of, and
opportunity for prior public comment on, these special conditions is
impracticable because these procedures would significantly delay
issuance of the design approval and thus delivery of the affected
airplanes.
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
publication in the Federal Register.
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 by the closing date for
comments. We may change these special conditions based on the comments
we receive.
Background
On December 10, 2009, Bombardier Aerospace Inc. applied for a type
certificate for their new Model BD-500-1A10 and -1A11 airplanes. The
Model BD-500-1A10 and -1A11 airplanes are swept-wing monoplanes with a
pressurized cabin, and share an identical supplier base and significant
common design elements. The fuselage is aluminum alloy material,
blended double-bubble fuselage, and is sized for nominal five-abreast
seating. The powerplant for each airplane model includes two under-wing
Pratt and Whitney PW1524G ultra-high bypass, geared turbofan engines.
Flight controls are fly-by-wire with two passive/uncoupled side sticks.
Avionics include five landscape primary flightdeck displays. The
wingspans are 115 feet; heights are 37.75 feet; and length is 114.75
feet for the Model BD-500-1A10, and 127 feet for the Model BD-500-1A11.
Passenger capacity is 110 for the Model BD-500-1A10, and 125 for the
Model BD-500-1A11. Maximum takeoff weight is 131,000 pounds for the
Model BD-500-1A10, and 144,000 pounds for the Model BD-500-1A11.
Maximum takeoff thrust is 21,000 pounds for the Model BD-500-1A10, and
23,300 pounds for the Model BD-500-1A11. Range is 3,394 miles, and
operating altitude is 41,000 feet, for both airplane models.
Sections specified in these special conditions that address the
high incidence protection system will replace common sections found in
the applicable sections of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) part 25.
[[Page 55222]]
Type Certification Basis
Under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.17, Bombardier Aerospace Inc.
must show that the Model BD-500-1A10 and -1A11 airplanes meet the
applicable provisions of part 25 as amended by Amendments 25-1 through
25-129.
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 BD-500-1A10 and -1A11
airplanes 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 BD-500-1A10 and -1A11 airplanes 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 BD-500-1A10 and -1A11 airplanes will incorporate the
following novel or unusual design feature:
A high incidence protection system that replaces the stall warning
system during normal operating conditions, prohibits the airplane from
stalling, limits the angle of attack at which the airplane can be flown
during normal low speed operation, and that cannot be overridden by the
flightcrew. The application of this angle-of-attack limit impacts the
stall-speed determination, the stall-characteristics and stall-warning
demonstration, and the longitudinal-handling characteristics. The
current regulations do not address this type of protection feature.
Discussion
The high incidence protection function prevents the airplane from
stalling at low speeds and, therefore, a stall-warning system is not
needed during normal flight conditions. If a failure of the high
incidence protection function occurs that is not shown to be extremely
improbable, stall warning must be provided in a conventional manner.
Also, the flight characteristics at the angle of attack for maximum-
lift coefficient (CLmax) must be suitable in the traditional
sense.
These special conditions address this novel or unusual design
feature on the Bombardier Model BD-500-1A10 and -1A11 airplanes. These
special conditions, which include airplane performance requirements,
establish a level of safety equivalent to the current regulations for
reference stall speeds, stall warning, stall characteristics, and
miscellaneous other minimum reference speeds.
These proposed special conditions for the Bombardier Model BD-500-
1A10 and -1A11 airplanes present amendments to the appropriate
regulations to accommodate the unique features of the high incidence
protection function.
Applicability
As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Bombardier Model BD-500-1A10 and -1A11 airplanes. Should Bombardier
apply at a later date for a change to the type certificate to include
another model incorporating the same or similar 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 Special Conditions
Accordingly, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issues the
following special conditions as part of the type certification basis
for Bombardier Model BD-500-1A10 and -1A11 airplanes.
Flight Envelope Protection: High Incidence Protection System
Special Conditions Part I
Stall Protection and Scheduled Operating Speeds
The following special conditions are in lieu of Sec. Sec.
25.21(b), 25.103, 25.145(a), 25.145(b)(6), 25.201, 25.203, 25.207, and
25.1323(d).
Foreword
In the following paragraphs, ``in icing conditions'' means with the
ice accretions (relative to the relevant flight phase) as defined in 14
CFR part 25, Amendment 121, appendix C.
1. Definitions
These special conditions use terminology that does not appear in 14
CFR part 25:
High incidence protection system: A system that operates
directly and automatically on the airplane's flying controls to limit
the maximum angle of attack that can be attained to a value below that
at which an aerodynamic stall would occur.
Alpha limit: The maximum angle of attack at which the
airplane stabilizes with the high incidence protection system
operating, and the longitudinal control held on its aft stop.
Vmin: The minimum steady flight speed in the airplane
configuration under consideration with the high incidence protection
system operating. See Part I, section 3 of these special conditions.
Vmin 1g: Vmin corrected to 1g conditions. See
Part I, section 3 of these special conditions. It is the minimum
calibrated airspeed at which the airplane can develop a lift force
normal to the flight path and equal to its weight when at an angle of
attack not greater than that determined for Vmin.
2. Capability and Reliability of the High Incidence Protection System
The applicant must establish the capability and reliability of the
high incidence protection system. The applicant may establish this
capability and reliability by flight test, simulation, or analysis. The
capability and reliability required are:
1. It must not be possible during pilot-induced maneuvers to
encounter a stall, and handling characteristics must be acceptable, as
required by Part I, section 5 of these special conditions.
2. The airplane must be protected against stalling due to the
effects of wind-shears and gusts at low speeds as required by Part I,
section 6 of these special conditions.
3. The ability of the high incidence protection system to
accommodate any reduction in stalling incidence must be verified in
icing conditions.
4. The high incidence protection system must be provided in each
abnormal configuration of the high-lift devices that are likely to be
used in flight following system failures.
[[Page 55223]]
5. The reliability of the system and the effects of failures must
be acceptable in accordance with Sec. 25.1309.
3. Minimum Steady Flight Speed and Reference Stall Speed
In lieu of Sec. 25.103, the following applies:
(a) The minimum steady flight speed, Vmin, is the final
stabilized calibrated airspeed obtained when the airplane is
decelerated until the longitudinal control is on its stop in such a way
that the entry rate does not exceed 1 knot per second.
(b) The minimum steady flight speed, Vmin, must be
determined in icing and non-icing conditions with:
(1) The high incidence protection system operating normally;
(2) Idle thrust and automatic thrust system (if applicable)
inhibited;
(3) All combinations of flap settings and landing gear position for
which Vmin is required to be determined;
(4) The weight used when reference stall speed, VSR, is
being used as a factor to determine compliance with a required
performance standard;
(5) The most unfavorable center of gravity allowable; and
(6) The airplane trimmed for straight flight at a speed achievable
by the automatic trim system.
(c) The 1-g minimum steady flight speed, Vmin1g, is the
minimum calibrated airspeed at which the airplane can develop a lift
force (normal to the flight path) equal to its weight, while at an
angle of attack not greater than that at which the minimum steady
flight speed of subparagraph (a) was determined. It must be determined
in icing and non-icing conditions.
(d) The reference stall speed, VSR, is a calibrated
airspeed defined by the applicant. VSR may not be less than
a 1g stall speed. VSR must be determined in non-icing
conditions and expressed as:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15SE15.002
(e) VCLmax is determined in non-icing conditions with:
(1) Engines idling, or, if that resultant thrust causes an
appreciable decrease in stall speed, not more than zero thrust at the
stall speed;
(2) The airplane in other respects (such as flaps and landing gear)
in the condition existing in the test or performance standard in which
VSR is being used;
(3) The weight used when VSR is being used as a factor
to determine compliance with a required performance standard;
(4) The center of gravity position that results in the highest
value of reference stall speed;
(5) The airplane trimmed for straight flight at a speed achievable
by the automatic trim system, but not less than 1.13 VSR and
not greater than 1.3 VSR;
(6) Reserved.
(7) The high incidence protection system adjusted, at the option of
the applicant, to allow higher incidence than is possible with the
normal production system; and
(8) Starting from the stabilized trim condition, apply the
longitudinal control to decelerate the airplane so that the speed
reduction does not exceed 1 knot per second.
4. Stall Warning
In lieu of Sec. 25.207, the following apply:
4.1 Normal Operation
If the design meets all conditions of section 2 of these special
conditions, then the airplane need not provide stall warning during
normal operation. The conditions of section 2 provide safety equivalent
to Sec. 25.207, ``Stall warning,'' so the provision of an additional,
unique warning device for normal operations is not required.
4.2 High Incidence Protection System Failure
For any failure of the high incidence protection system that the
applicant cannot show to be extremely improbable, and that result in
the capability of the system no longer satisfying any part of section 2
of these
[[Page 55224]]
special conditions, the design must provide stall warning that protects
against encountering unacceptable stall characteristics and against
encountering stall.
(a) This stall warning, with the flaps and landing gear in any
normal position, must be clear and distinctive to the pilot and meet
the requirements specified in paragraphs (d) and (e), below.
(b) The design must also provide this stall warning in each
abnormal configuration of the high-lift devices that is likely to be
used in flight following system failures.
(c) The design may furnish this stall warning either through the
inherent aerodynamic qualities of the airplane or by a device that will
give clearly distinguishable indications under all expected conditions
of flight. However, a visual stall-warning device that requires the
attention of the crew within the flightdeck is not acceptable by
itself. If a warning device is used, it must provide a warning in each
of the airplane configurations prescribed in paragraph (a), above, and
for the conditions prescribed in paragraphs (d) and (e), below.
(d) In non-icing conditions, stall warning must provide sufficient
margin to prevent encountering unacceptable stall characteristics and
encountering stall in the following conditions:
(1) In power-off straight deceleration not exceeding 1 knot per
second to a speed 5 knots or 5 percent calibrated airspeed, whichever
is greater, below the warning onset.
(2) In turning flight, stall deceleration at entry rates up to 3
knots per second when recovery is initiated not less than 1 second
after the warning onset.
(e) In icing conditions, stall warning must provide sufficient
margin to prevent encountering unacceptable characteristics and
encountering stall, in power-off straight and turning flight
decelerations not exceeding 1 knot per second, when the pilot starts a
recovery maneuver not less than three seconds after the onset of stall
warning.
(f) An airplane is considered stalled when the behavior of the
airplane gives the pilot a clear and distinctive indication of an
acceptable nature that the airplane is stalled. Acceptable indications
of a stall, occurring either individually or in combination, are:
(1) A nose-down pitch that cannot be readily arrested;
(2) Buffeting, of a magnitude and severity that is a strong and
effective deterrent to further speed reduction;
(3) The pitch control reaches the aft stop, and no further increase
in pitch attitude occurs when the control is held full aft for a short
time before recovery is initiated.
(g) An airplane exhibits unacceptable characteristics during
straight or turning flight decelerations if it is not always possible
to produce and to correct roll and yaw by unreversed use of aileron and
rudder controls, or abnormal nose-up pitching occurs.
5. Handling Characteristics at High Incidence
In lieu of Sec. Sec. 25.201 and 25.203, the following apply:
5.1 High Incidence Handling Demonstration
In lieu of Sec. 25.201:
(a) Maneuvers to the limit of the longitudinal control, in the
nose-up pitch, must be demonstrated in straight flight and in 30-degree
banked turns with:
(1) The high incidence protection system operating normally;
(2) Initial power conditions of:
i. Power off; and
ii. The power necessary to maintain level flight at 1.5
VSR1, where VSR1 is the reference stall speed
with flaps in approach position, the landing gear retracted, and
maximum landing weight.
(3) None.
(4) Flaps, landing gear, and deceleration devices in any likely
combination of positions;
(5) Representative weights within the range for which certification
is requested; and
(6) The airplane trimmed for straight flight at a speed achievable
by the automatic trim system.
(b) The following procedures must be used to show compliance in
non-icing and icing conditions:
(1) Starting at a speed sufficiently above the minimum steady
flight speed to ensure that a steady rate of speed reduction can be
established, apply the longitudinal control so that the speed reduction
does not exceed 1 knot per second until the control reaches the stop;
(2) The longitudinal control must be maintained at the stop until
the airplane has reached a stabilized flight condition and must then be
recovered by normal recovery techniques;
(3) Maneuvers with increased deceleration rates:
(i) In non-icing conditions, the requirements must also be met with
increased rates of entry to the incidence limit, up to the maximum rate
achievable; and
(ii) In icing conditions, with the anti-ice system working
normally, the requirements must also be met with increased rates of
entry to the incidence limit, up to 3 knots per second.
(4) Maneuver with ice accretion prior to operation of the normal
anti-ice system. With the ice accretion prior to operation of the
normal anti-ice system, the requirements must also be met in
deceleration at 1 knot per second up to full back stick.
5.2 Characteristics in High Incidence Maneuvers
In lieu of Sec. 25.203:
In icing and non-icing conditions:
(a) Throughout maneuvers with a rate of deceleration of not more
than 1 knot per second, both in straight flight and in 30-degree banked
turns, the airplane's characteristics must be as follows:
(1) There must not be any abnormal nose-up pitching.
(2) There must not be any uncommanded nose-down pitching, which
would be indicative of stall. However, reasonable attitude changes
associated with stabilizing the incidence at Alpha limit as the
longitudinal control reaches the stop would be acceptable.
(3) There must not be any uncommanded lateral or directional
motion, and the pilot must retain good lateral and directional control,
by conventional use of the controls, throughout the maneuver.
(4) The airplane must not exhibit buffeting of a magnitude and
severity that would act as a deterrent from completing the maneuver
specified in paragraph 5.1(a).
(b) In maneuvers with increased rates of deceleration, some
degradation of characteristics is acceptable, associated with a
transient excursion beyond the stabilized Alpha limit. However, the
airplane must not exhibit dangerous characteristics or characteristics
that would deter the pilot from holding the longitudinal control on the
stop for a period of time appropriate to the maneuver.
(c) It must always be possible to reduce incidence by conventional
use of the controls.
(d) The rate at which the airplane can be maneuvered from trim
speeds associated with scheduled operating speeds such as V2
and VREF, up to Alpha limit, must not be unduly damped or be
significantly slower than can be achieved on conventionally controlled
transport airplanes.
5.3 Characteristics Up to Maximum Lift Angle of Attack
In lieu of Sec. 25.201:
(a) In non-icing conditions:
Maneuvers with a rate of deceleration of not more than 1 knot per
second, up
[[Page 55225]]
to the angle of attack at which VCLmax was obtained, as
defined in section 3, ``Minimum Steady Flight Speed and Reference Stall
Speed,'' must be demonstrated in straight flight and in 30-degree
banked turns in the following configurations:
(1) The high incidence protection deactivated or adjusted, at the
option of the applicant, to allow higher incidence than is possible
with the normal production system;
(2) Automatic thrust-increase system inhibited (if applicable);
(3) Engines idling;
(4) Flaps and landing gear in any likely combination of positions;
and
(5) The airplane trimmed for straight flight at a speed achievable
by the automatic trim system.
(b) In icing conditions:
Maneuvers with a rate of deceleration of not more than 1 knot per
second, up to the maximum angle of attack reached during maneuvers from
paragraph 5.1(b)(3)(ii), must be demonstrated in straight flight with:
(1) The high incidence protection deactivated or adjusted, at the
option of the applicant, to allow higher incidence than is possible
with the normal production system;
(2) Automatic thrust-increase system inhibited (if applicable);
(3) Engines idling;
(4) Flaps and landing gear in any likely combination of positions;
and
(5) The airplane trimmed for straight flight at a speed achievable
by the automatic trim system.
(c) During the maneuvers used to show compliance with paragraphs
(a) and (b), above, the airplane must not exhibit dangerous
characteristics, and it must always be possible to reduce the angle of
attack by conventional use of the controls. The pilot must retain good
lateral and directional control, by conventional use of the controls,
throughout the maneuver.
6. Atmospheric Disturbances
Operation of the high incidence protection system must not
adversely affect airplane control during expected levels of atmospheric
disturbances, nor impede the application of recovery procedures in case
of wind-shear. This must be demonstrated in non-icing and icing
conditions.
7. Proof of Compliance
In lieu of Sec. 25.21(b), ``[Reserved],'' the design must meet the
following requirement:
(b) The flying qualities must be evaluated at the most unfavorable
center-of-gravity position.
8. Sections 25.145(a), 25.145(b)(6), and 25.1323(d)
The design must meet the following modified requirements:
For Sec. 25.145(a), add ``Vmin'' in lieu of
``stall identification.''
For Sec. 25.145(b)(6), add ``Vmin'' in lieu of
``VSW.''
For Sec. 25.1323(d), add ``From 1.23 VSR to
Vmin . . .,'' in lieu of ``1.23 VSR to stall
warning speed . . .,'' and, ``. . . speeds below Vmin . .
.'' in lieu of ``. . . speeds below stall warning. . . .''
