The special conditions outline specific requirements for the engine's design, safety assessments, and operational capabilities to ensure equivalent safety levels to conventional engines. The document responds to public comments and incorporates changes based on feedback from various stakeholders, such as Airbus and Ampaire, emphasizing the safe integration of these electric engines in aviation.
