Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com ISAQ interim statement of airworthiness qualification SAQ statement of airworthiness qualification Aeronautical design standards A complete collection of current technology design standards covering the engineering of aircraft systems and subsystems (including hardware with applicable software and crew in the loop) design, integration, and performance. Airworthiness A demonstrated capability of an aircraft or aircraft subsystem or component to function satisfactorily when used within prescribed limits.
Airworthiness release A technical document that provides operating instructions and limitations necessary for safe flight of an aircraft system, subsystem, or allied equipment. Airworthiness approval Any technical document issued by an airworthiness authority that provides operating instructions and limitations necessary for safe flight. As used herein it refers to approval from an airworthiness authority other than the Army. Airworthiness authority A U.S.
Government agency having engineering cognizance over a particular aircraft system, subsystem, or component and responsibility for determining the capability of that aircraft system, subsystem or component to function satisfacto- rily when used within prescribed limits. Also includes any foreign authority whose airworthiness approval has been accepted by a U.S. agency described above.
Airworthiness qualification substantiation report A technical summary describing the scope of the qualification and its results, including prescribed limits, and a compilation of each requirement indexed to its status of demonstrated compliance and references to the verifying technical substantiation (including analysis, inspections, drawings, modeling, simulations, test plans and test results, and any other relevant technical data). Carry-on equipment Any portable device that can be hand carried on-board by crew or passenger for the purpose of its operation in-flight.
Contractor flight release A technical document that provides a set of operating instructions and limitations, based on available engineering analysis and testing, for contracted experimental or engineering test flight operations for new or modified, aircraft system, subsystem, or allied equipment. Flight, other piloted, and test operations All operation of the aircraft that includes intentional take-off and flight, certain ground operations where a pilot is required at the controls, and any experimental or engineering test necessary to determine limits. For rotary wing aircraft this includes ground operation of the aircraft’s main engine or engines.
Interim statement of airworthiness qualification A document establishing a preliminary or provisional qualification status and an airworthiness release when issued in conjunction with the Airworthiness Qualification Substantiation Report. Prescribed limits The full authorized range or envelope of operating, environmental, and sustaining criteria or characteristics for the safe and reliable use of the aircraft system, subsystem, or allied equipment as determined by analysis, tests, and operating experiences.
Statement of airworthiness qualification A final document establishing full qualification status and airworthiness release that is issued in conjunction with the Airworthiness Qualification Substantiation Report normally completing an airworthiness qualification program. 14 AR 70–62 • 7 July 2000
