FAA and Controls

Provokes a question. The 525 certification process was via " Special Conditions ", I think, as Part 29 and the attendant Advisory Circular do not yet address the totality of the FBW implications.If that is correct, then CTR is proposing ( I think? ) that everyone else is bound by a Special Condition agreed upon by Bell and the FAA, but no one else, that is not yet published as 14 CFR Part 29 and therefore is not law?
