The operational safety of the craft in normal service conditions
and in equipment failure situations of a craft to which this Code
applies shall be documented and verified by full-scale tests, supplemented
by model tests where appropriate, of the prototype craft. The objective
of tests is to determine information to be included in the craft operating
manual in relation to:
-
.1 operating limitations;
-
.2 procedures for operation of the craft within
the limitations;
-
.3 actions to be taken in the event of prescribed
failure; and
-
.4 limitations to be observed for safe operation
subsequent to prescribed failures.
Operational information shall be available on board for guidance,
or the craft shall have an instrument system for on-line check of
operational performance which shall be approved by the Administration
taking into account the standards for the processing and presentation
of measurements developed by the Organization. As a minimum, the system
shall measure accelerations in three axes close to the craft longitudinal
centre of gravity.
