These final special conditions are issued for the McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9-81 (MD-81), DC-9-82 (MD-82) and DC-9-83 (MD-83) series airplanes modified by E-Systems, Inc. for design of Civil Reserve Air Fleet Aeromedical Evacuation Ship Set kits. Removal of existing passenger seats and installation of the kits will result in these airplanes being equipped with an aeromedical evacuation interior that can accommodate up to 45 litter patients and their attendants. The aeromedical evacuation ship set kit includes an additional oxygen system, utilizing liquid oxygen for storage, that provides medical oxygen for the litter patients. The applicable regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the design and installation of medical oxygen systems utilizing liquid oxygen for storage. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards which the Administrator considers necessary to ensure that the design and installation of the medical oxygen system utilizing liquid oxygen for storage is such that a level of safety equivalent to that established by the airworthiness standards of Part 25 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) is provided
