Confidential Business Information
This action proposes special conditions for the Bombardier Model CL6002B16 Bombardier airplane.
This airplane, as modified by Pro Star Aviation LLC Pro Star Aviation, will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. This design feature is a system that emits infrared laser energy outside the aircraft as a countermeasure against heat-seeking missiles. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These proposed 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.

Background On December 7, 2018, Pro Star Aviation applied for a supplemental type certificate to install a Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasure LAIRCM system, which directs infrared laser energy toward heatseeking missiles, on the Bombardier Model CL6002B16 airplane. This airplane, which is a derivative of the Bombardier Model CL600 series airplanes currently approved under Type Certificate No. A21EA, is a twinengine business jet with seating for 20
passengers and two crewmembers, and a maximum takeoff weight of 47,600
pounds.
Type Certification Basis Under the provisions of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 14 CFR 21.101, Pro Star Aviation must show that the Bombardier Model CL6002B16
airplane, as changed, continues to meet the applicable provisions of the regulations listed in Type Certificate No.
A21EA, or the applicable regulations in effect on the date of application for the change, except for earlier amendments as agreed upon by the FAA.
If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness regulations e.g., 14 CFR part 25 do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the Bombardier Model CL6002B16
