These Special Conditions are issued to Fairchild Aircraft Corporation to become a part of the type certification basis for new Fairchild Aircraft Corporation (Fairchild) Model SA227 series airplanes to be added to Type Certificate No. A8SW. These new models are derivatives of the Fairchild Aircraft Corporation Model SA227-AC airplane for which special conditions were established as a part of the type certification basis. Special conditions are prescribed in the absence of appropriate requirements for the type certification of turbopropeller-powered airplanes pursuant to Part 23 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) and to assure a level of safety equivalent to that intended by these airworthiness standards for reciprocating engine-powered airplanes. The Fairchild Model SA227 series airplanes to be added to Type Certificate No. A8SW are basically the type certificated SA227-AC airplane with different make and model of turbopropeller engines installed or other airplane improvements. A Notice of Proposed Special Conditions, Notice No. SC-83-4-CE, was published to the Federal Register on July 7, 1983 (48 FR 31236) and no comments were received in response to this notice.
