Weight and Balance report 3.2.4.1 Subsequent Flight Readiness Review (SFRR).
A SFRR should be conducted prior to any subsequent flights for which the configuration of the air vehicle or software has significantly changed, and prior to conducting flight test activities for purposes that have not been approved in previous flight readiness reviews. The detail of the data should be such that it supports issuance of a CFR and/or AWR by the Government (AMRDEC AED). Information in AQP paragraph 3.3.4 may be required as agenda items. 4.0 GENERAL GUIDANCE 4.1 Qualification Methods. Qualification should be performed to verify compliance with the Performance Specification of the system on which the payload is intended to be used.
Qualification should be by similarity, analysis, test, demonstration, or by inspection in this respective preferred order. 4.2 Qualification by Similarity . Qualification by similarity may be proposed for components or systems that have previously successfully been used in Army aircraft. ADS-51-HDBK or Paragraph 7-3.3 of Army Material Command Pamphlet (AMCP) 706-203 may be used for guidance for qualification by similarity. Items that directly impact system safety should not be qualified by similarity. When qualification by similarity is proposed, formal report should be prepared including all supporting data and qualification reports.
Components should be categorized as Category I, II, or III as defined below. All documents related to qualification by similarity for each category are subject to Government approval. a. Category I. Category I is defined as those components used in the design, which are identical in form and function to those components qualified in previous designs of Army aircraft and have identical operational and environmental requirements. Qualification reports for items in this category should list each part by name, part number, and the other aircraft/systems in which the part was used.
A copy of qualification documentation listing appropriate Government, contractor, or military specification, including revisions as pertinent, should be submitted. b. Category II. Category II is defined as a component with minor modifications that was previously qualified for use in Army aircraft before the component was modified. The modified component must be used in a similar operation and a similar environment as the previously qualified component. Name, part number, and a technical rationale of why the modification to the part is minor enough to waive other qualification methods should list these items. 9
