Special Conditions; British Aerospace Model 748 ATP Series Airplane

These special conditions are issued pursuant to §§ 21.16 and 21.17 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) to British Aerospace, Cheshire England, for a type certificate for the 748 ATP series airplane. The 748 ATP Airplane will have novel or unusual design features associated with an automatic takeoff power control system (ATPCS) for which the applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards. The ATPCS will allow the airplane to takeoff with less than maximum takeoff thrust approved for the airplane; and, if an engine fails, the system will automatically provide maximum takeoff thrust on the operating engine. These special conditions contain safety standards which the Administrator finds necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to the provided by the regulations applicable to the 748 ATP series airplane because of the novel or unusual features.
