## Abstract

These special conditions are issued for General Electric Aircraft Engines (GEAE) models CT7-6E and CT7-8 turboshaft engines. These engines will have a novel or unusual rated 30-minute power that makes the issue of these special conditions necessary. The existing airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards the Administrator considers to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by existing airworthiness standards. The rated 30-minute power provides necessary increased rotorcraft hover time to enable operators to better perform critical, life-saving search and rescue missions. For this reason and because a delay would not be in the public interest, the FAA has determined that good cause exists for adopting these special conditions immediately upon publication.
