Special Conditions: Boeing 757-200 With Enhanced Flight Vision System
These special conditions are issued for the Boeing Model 757- 200 series airplanes. These airplanes, as modified by the Federal Express Corporation, will have an advanced, enhanced-flight-visibility system (EFVS). The EFVS is a novel or unusual design feature which consists of a head-up display (HUD) system modified to display forward- looking infrared (FLIR) imagery. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
