• ED Decision 2003/18/RM found in: CS-VLA Amdt 1 - Very Light Aeroplanes (Mar 2009)

CS-VLA 485 Side load conditions ED Decision 2003/18/RM (a) For the side load condition, the aeroplane is assumed to be in a level attitude with only the main wheels contacting the ground and with the shock absorbers and tyres in their static positions. (b) The limit vertical load factor must be 1.33, with the vertical ground reaction divided equally between the main wheels. (c) The limit side inertia factor must be 0.83, with the side ground reaction divided between the main wheels so that - (1) 0.5 (Mg) is acting inboard on one side; and (2) 0.33 (Mg) is acting outboard on the other side.
