AMC 31HB.27(g) Strength and proof of strength

ED Decision 2001/013/R

This requirement for items of mass does not apply to fuel cells that are subject to specific requirements in CS 31HB.45(c)

Items of mass (e.g. batteries or equipment) inside the basket or attached to the suspension system near or above the occupants should be considered because of their risk to the occupants.

Items of mass that do not cause a risk to the occupants during a hard or fast landing, but could become detached from the balloon (e.g. ballast attached to the outside of the basket in case of a mixed balloon), should be considered because of the potential loss of mass.
