  • 2021-02139 — Special Conditions: TC Inter-Informatics A.S., Airbus Model A330-243 Airplane; Single-Occupant, Oblique (Side-Facing) Seats With Inflatable Lapbelts
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 7799
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued special conditions for the Airbus Model A330-243 airplane, which is being modified by TC Inter-Informatics to include unique oblique side-facing seats with inflatable lapbelts. These conditions address the lack of adequate safety standards in existing regulations for this type of seating. They include criteria for injury protection, body contact, neck and spine protection, and head rotation limits to ensure passenger safety. The FAA invites public comments on these special conditions, which will apply to other models if the same seat configuration is used.

    Simple Explanation

    A company is making new airplane seats that face sideways and have special seatbelts, and the people who make flying rules want to make sure they are safe, so they made new safety rules and asked people to tell them what they think.

  • 2025-02214 — Special Conditions: Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, Model GVII-G400 Airplane; Automatic Speed Protection for Design Dive Speed (Dive Speed Definition)
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8912
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    In the document, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes new safety standards for the Gulfstream Aerospace GVII-G400 airplane. This model includes a special high-speed protection system, which is not adequately covered by current regulations. As such, the FAA plans to apply special conditions to ensure the aircraft maintains a safe level of operation equivalent to existing standards. These conditions will require specific testing and safety measures to address potential overspeed situations.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is making new rules to keep a special kind of airplane extra safe when it flies really fast, because the old rules don't cover this special fast-flying part. They want to make sure the airplane is as safe as others by testing it in special ways.
