  2. The aeroplane meets the requirements of FAR 25.785,25.787,25.793 and 25.853 to Amendment 25-51 or later;
     
  3. The public address system and the crew interphone system at the approved flight attendant take-off and landing station referenced in condition (4) is serviceable;
     
  4. The flight attendant is assigned to occupy the approved flight attendant take-off and landing station located next to a floor level exit;
