SUMMARY: These special conditions are

issued for the Fairchild Aircraft

Incorporated Model SA227–CC and

SA227–DC (C–26B) airplanes modified

by Rockwell Collins, Cedar Rapids,

Iowa. These airplanes will have novel

and unusual design features when

compared to the state of technology

envisaged in the applicable

airworthiness standards. These novel

and unusual design features include the

installation of electronic displays for

which the applicable regulations do not

contain adequate or appropriate

airworthiness standards for the

protection of these systems from the

effects of high intensity radiated fields

(HIRF). These special conditions

contain the additional safety standards

that the Administrator considers

necessary to establish a level of safety

equivalent to the airworthiness

standards applicable to these airplanes.

DATES: The effective date of these

special conditions is January 2, 1996.

Comments must be received on or

before February 1, 1996.
