A thermal loading analysis will be conducted to verify the sensor system’s thermal loading does not adversely affect the aircraft. mm.

An aircraft strike analysis should demonstrate that crashworthiness has not been degraded below the requirements or levels appropriate to the particular aircraft as a result of the presence of the sensor system. 3.2.4 Flight Readiness Review (FRR) . A FRR should be conducted NLT 45 days prior to the first flight. The FRR should ensure that all airworthiness prerequisites have been addressed and met, hardware and software are sufficiently mature to warrant proceeding with flight testing, and no undue risks are apparent in early flights. The detail of the data should be such that it supports issuance of a Contractor Flight Release (CFR) and/or AWR by the Government (RDECOM AED).

Agenda items to be addressed in the FRR may include but are not limited to the following: a. Presentation of the Army AQS and verification matrix with any revisions that have occurred during the development, design, and modification/alteration process. All revisions should show review and concurrence by Army approval, and the Payload Prime Contractor approval. b. Updated Loads, Stress, Damage Tolerance and Fatigue Analyses and Reports c. Evaluation of component and subsystem tests, test failures and corrective actions. d. Evaluation of management procedures for flight operation. e. Evaluation of emergency operational procedures. f. Evaluation of established flight abort criteria. g.

Evaluation and assurance that the prerequisites for first flight have been met. h. Evaluation of test instrumentation. i. Evaluation of ground and flight safety practices and procedures. j. Evaluation of test objectives. k. Presentation of Flight Test do not exceed Limits and methodology thereof. 8
