PART 21--CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES FOR PRODUCTS AND PARTS--Table of Contents
 
                      Subpart B--Type Certificates
 
Sec. 21.16  Special conditions.

    If the Administrator finds that the airworthiness regulations of 
this subchapter do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards 
for an aircraft, aircraft engine, or propeller because of a novel or 
unusual design feature of the aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller, he 
prescribes special conditions and amendments thereto for the product. 
The special conditions are issued in accordance with Part 11 of this 
chapter and contain such safety standards for the aircraft, aircraft 
engine or propeller as the Administrator finds necessary to establish a 
level of safety equivalent to that established in the regulations.
