The FAA's summary their words, unchanged

These special conditions are issued to become part of the type certification basis for the Fairchild Aircraft Corporation Models SA227-AT and SA227-TT Airplanes incorporating an emergency lighting system as an aid for emergency evacuation. The applicable requirements for these airplanes do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for these systems. These special conditions contain the additional airworthiness standards which the Administrator finds necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to the airworthiness standards applicable to these airplanes.
