The FAA's summary their words, unchanged
This special condition is issued pursuant to 21.16 and 21.101 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) for the British Aerospace BAe ATP airplane with PW124 series engines. Control of these engines is provided electronically with mechanical backup. A special condition is necessary because airplanes with these series engines have novel or unusual design features associated with the installation of the full authority electronic engine control system for which the applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for protection from the effects of lightning. This special condition contains the safety standards which the Administrator finds necessary because of these added design features, to ensure that the functions of these systems, which are critical, are protected.
