Special Conditions; New Piper Aircraft, Inc.; PA-34; Protection of Systems for High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF)

概要

These special conditions are issued to the New Piper Aircraft, Inc., Vero Beach, Florida, for a type design change for the PA-34 model airplanes. These airplanes will have novel and unusual design features when compared to the state of technology envisaged in the applicable airworthiness standards. These novel and unusual design features include the installation of electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) displays Model 700-00006-XXX(), manufactured by Avidyne Corporation, Inc. for which the applicable regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate airworthiness standards for the protection of these systems from the effects of high intensity radiated fields (HIRF). These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to the airworthiness standards applicable to these airplanes.
