These amended special conditions are issued for the Boeing Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 series airplanes. This amendment states that the Boeing Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 series airplanes oblique (side-facing) seats may be installed at an angle of 18 to 45 degrees to the airplane centerline and may include a 3-point or airbag restraint system, or both, for occupant restraint and injury protection. This airplane will have novel or unusual design features when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. These design features are oblique (side- facing) single-occupant seats equipped with airbag devices or 3-point restraints.
