EASA SC E-18: Electric Propulsion Units for CS-23 Normal, Utility, Aerobatic and Commuter Aeroplanes up to Level 1

The following Special Condition to EASA was initiated because an applicant has made an application for the certification of an electric propulsion unit (called hereafter EPU). It consists of an electric motor associated with its controller (inverter). The motor and the inverter are liquid cooled. The liquid cooling system (heat exchanger, coolant tank, draining capabilities…) and the energy storage devices are not included in the scope of this special condition. This type of EPU is intended to be installed on CS-23 Normal, Utility, Aerobatic and Commuter Aeroplanes up to Level 1.

Any EPU that shows compliance with this Special Condition could also be installed on CS-22 Sailplanes and Powered Sailplanes, CS-LSA Light Sport Aeroplanes and CS-VLA Very Light Aeroplanes. The certification specifications that are usually applicable to aircraft engines are contained in CS-E amendment 5, CS-22 Subpart H, or Special Condition EA-42 “Airworthiness Standard for CS-22H Electrical Retractable Engine to be operated in Powered Sailplanes” However they do not cover the case of an EPU for CS-23 Normal, Utility, Aerobatic and Commuter Aeroplanes up to Level 1.
