Investigation prior to issuance of the flight conditions

Regulation (EU) 2022/1361

(a)     Without
prejudice to [Subpart P](#_DxCrossRefBm1649097677) of Section B of
Annex I (Part 21), when investigating an application for the approval of
flight conditions for an aircraft which is within the scope of this Annex, the
Agency shall:

1.       if
the application for flight conditions is related to the demonstration of compliance
activities in point [21L.A.25](#_DxCrossRefBm1649097803) for an aircraft which is, or is intended to be,
type-certified, conduct a critical design review of the
design and a physical inspection and assessment of the aircraft in order to ensure
that the aircraft is capable of safe flight, and that flight testing can be
conducted safely;

2.       if
the application for flight conditions is related to the
demonstration of compliance activities in point [21L.A.44](#_DxCrossRefBm1649097841)
for an aircraft for which design compliance is, or is intended to be, declared,
conduct a physical inspection and assessment of the aircraft in order to ensure that the aircraft is capable of safe
flight, and that flight testing can be conducted safely;

3.       if the application for flight conditions
is related to the demonstration of compliance activities for
a major change in point [21L.A.66](#_DxCrossRefBm1649097887), a
supplemental type certificate in point [21L.A.85](#_DxCrossRefBm1649097917) or a major repair in point [21L.A.206](#_DxCrossRefBm1649098050), based upon the evaluation conducted in point [21L.B.83](#_DxCrossRefBm1649097897), point [21L.B.102](#_DxCrossRefBm1649097928) and
point [21L.B.203](#_DxCrossRefBm1649098100),
determine the need to conduct a physical inspection and assessment of the
aircraft and a critical design review of the design in order to
ensure that the aircraft is capable of safe flight, and that flight testing
can be conducted safely;

4.       if the application for flight conditions
is related to the demonstration of compliance activities for a major change in
point [21L.A.108](#_DxCrossRefBm1649097942) or a major repair in point [21L.A.227](#_DxCrossRefBm1649098134), based upon the evaluation
conducted in point [21L.B.121](#_DxCrossRefBm1649097965) and point [21L.B.221](#_DxCrossRefBm1649098132), determine the need to conduct a physical inspection and
assessment of the aircraft in order to ensure that the aircraft is capable of
safe flight, and that flight testing can be conducted safely.

(b)     If
the Agency finds evidence indicating that the aircraft could be incapable of
conducting a safe flight, the Agency shall raise a finding in accordance with
point [21L.B.21](#_DxCrossRefBm1649097779).
