The FAA's summary their words, unchanged

These special conditions are issued for the SAAB Model 340B airplane. This airplane will have novel or unusual design features associated with engine electronic controllers. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the protection from the effects of lightning and the susceptibility to external radio frequency (RF) energy sources. These special conditions contain safety standards which the Administrator finds necessary to ensure that critical and essential functions of systems in the SAAB 340B are maintained.
