Special Conditions: Raytheon Model 390 Airplane

This document amends special conditions issued to the Raytheon Aircraft Company for the Raytheon Model 390 airplane and requests comments on the revised portion of the amended special conditions. The Small Airplane Directorate issued final special conditions for this airplane on July 9, 1999, and published them on July 23, 1999 (64 FR 39899). The special conditions contained a requirement for operating limitations for weight and loading distribution already covered by an exemption issued to Raytheon Aircraft Company on December 12, 1996 (Exemption No. 6558, Docket No. 132CE). Accordingly, the portion of the special conditions that covers the operating limitations has been amended to remove the additional requirement. Only the revised sections are contained in this document. Additionally, the special condition for turning flight and accelerated turning stalls has been amended to include a power-at-idle condition. This condition is included to make these special conditions consistent with previously approved special conditions for a similar airplane.
