MOC VTOL.2010 Accepted Means of compliance n/a The Means of Compliance (MOC) in this document are a way to facilitate the completion of the necessary certification activities to be conducted by the applicant and verified by the Agency during the compliance demonstration. Each MOC in this document, when followed in its entirety, is considered an acceptable means for the applicant to demonstrate compliance with the related objectives of the Special Condition for the currently foreseen VTOL architectures and technologies. The MOC in this document may not yet include appropriate means to demonstrate compliance for the certification of all possible designs and/or technologies, including the new and novel application of existing technologies. Consequently, for these cases, the MOC in this document cannot be considered by default as being acceptable or appropriate for the certification of a particular design. The use of other means to demonstrate compliance with the special condition may be required to be proposed by the applicant and subsequently accepted by the Agency. The MOCs in this document may be updated with any necessary complement or modification, while additional MOCs with different objectives in the Special Condition may also be incorporated in this document as required. In the course of these revisions, the Agency may recognise available industry standards as accepted Means of Compliance with the Special Condition VTOL. The Agency may also accept other means to demonstrate compliance with the objectives contained in the special condition during the certification of a particular design. In doing so, the Agency will thoroughly evaluate all proposals of MOC and analyse their merits and associated justification. Subsequently the Agency will establish whether the proposed MOC will ensure that the relevant safety objective in the special condition can be demonstrated as being fully met by it. The ultimate goal being to provide flexibility in the design of the VTOL whilst ensuring that the objectives of the special condition are satisfied and demonstrated by the applicant.
