Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com ADS-65A-HDBK 4.8.3.4 Laser Safety Analysis Verify Laser Safety Standard: Laser systems installed on aircraft should meet the safety requirements as specified within the referenced documents. Compliance: The analysis should evaluate system design control measures and potential hazards of the laser system. Reference: MIL-STD-1425, MIL-STD-1472, and ANSI Z136.1 . 4.8.3.5 Aircraft Strike Analysis Verify Effects of an Aircraft Strike Standard: 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. Compliance:

The analysis should conclude that hazards do not exist because of potential strike areas due to sensor turret structure or any egress blockage by the sensor installation. The hazards are defined within the Airworthiness Qualifications Specifications and Safety Assessment for each aircraft. Perform analysis to verify the structural integrity of the LRU (housing, turret, interface boxes, mounts, etc.). This should be done for crash loads and all flight loads of the aircraft, or as identified in the sensor specification. As an alternative, a Crash Safety acceleration test IAW MIL-STD-810 may be performed.

An emergency egress analysis should be conducted per the following 4.8.3.6 Emergency Egress Standard: An emergency egress demonstration should verify that changes to aircraft will not impede emergency egress. Compliance: An emergency egress demonstration should be conducted to verify any change in cockpit configuration do not impede emergency egress from the aircraft.

The crew station should accommodate normal and expedited ingress, as well as normal, emergency, and assisted egress such that the crew station geometry does not hinder access to/from the crew station (canopy doors, locks, handles, etc.); nor does any equipment, control, or crew station geometry impede or cause harm to aircraft or personnel to meet the following timelines: i. Aircraft with crashworthy fuel cells: all crew and passengers in the most restrictive configuration(s) of personal clothing and equipment (including MOPP IV) must be able to exit the aircraft and clear a distance of at least 10 feet from the nearest exit 13
