• n/a found in: Small Category VCA (Revision 0) SC-VTOL (Oct 2024)

VTOL.2250 Design and construction principles n/a (a) Each part, article, and assembly must be designed for the expected operating conditions of the aircraft. (b) Design data must adequately define the part, article, or assembly configuration, its design features, and any materials and processes used. (c) The applicant must determine the suitability of each design detail and part having an important bearing on safety in operations. The applicant must prevent single failures from resulting in a catastrophic effect upon the aircraft. (d) The control system must be free from jamming, excessive friction, and excessive deflection when the aircraft is subjected to expected limit air loads. (e) Doors, canopies, and exits must be protected against inadvertent opening in flight, unless shown to create no hazard, when opened in flight. (f) The aircraft must be designed to ensure that after a likely bird impact the capability remains to conduct: (1) a controlled emergency landing for Category Basic with a maximum passenger seating configuration of 7 or more; or (2) continued safe flight and landing for Category Enhanced.
