The > agency claims that the increasing use of high-power radio frequency > emitters mandates requirements for improved high intensity radiated fields > (HIRF) protection for electrical and electronic equipment. Since the > electronic engine control system used on the Lancair, Model LC40-550FG-E, > will perform critical functions, the agency specifies that provisions for > protection from the effects of HIRF fields should be considered and, if > necessary, incorporated into the airplane design data. The FAA claims that > applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate > safety standards for this design feature. In order to clarify this issue, > these proposed special conditions contain the additional safety standards > that the FAA considers necessary to establish a level of safety "equivalent > to that established by the existing airworthiness standards."
