Significance and Use4.1 This guide provides some major theme
26、s and examples for consideration related to compliance which are not necessarilycaptured in any single standard pertinent to light sport aircraft. The outline of this document is intended to loosely reflect theprocess that an organization would go through in order to reach and maintain production of
27、 a light sport aircraft that isdemonstrably compliant with the applicable ASTM standards.4.2 These considerations are applicable to manufacturers which are responsible for conformity to processes and proceduresrequired in ASTM standards for light sport aircraft. Manufacturers are encouraged to think
28、 through the contents of this guide,reference the ASTM light sport aircraft standards, establish, document and follow their own procedures.4.3 Manufacturers are responsible for determining which standards and revisions thereof are part of the regulatory package ofany given CAA, along with any other
29、requirements applicable within the agencys jurisdiction.4.4 Following this guide does not ensure compliance of a particular light sport aircraft; however, following the explanationsprovided herein should assist manufacturers in avoiding common pitfalls of declaring compliance prematurely, determinin
30、gshortcomings in current declarations of compliance, and maintaining a body of documentation sufficient to support a declarationof compliance.5. Key Themes5.1 The following key concepts are essential to the compliance process and can be seen throughout this guide. Manufacturersare encouraged to keep
31、 these themes in mind.5.2 Configuration ControlOver the course of the development or compliance program, or both, the configuration should becaptured such that the specifics of the compliant design are characterized, traceable, and documented. This includes elements suchas definition, source, specif
32、ications, and a system for managing configuration.5.3 Change ManagementChanges come about from a variety of sources: changes for improvements to a design, as a resultof safety of flight issues, or in response to a change in the standards themselves.All changes must be managed in order to maintaincom
33、pliance to the applicable standards throughout the products lifecycle. Failure to manage and track changes will result innon-compliance.5.4 DocumentationThe implementation of the consensus standards within a certification process depends on compliancewhich is not merely declared, but also verifiable
34、 and repeatable. If compliance is not documented, it cannot be assumed. Thoroughdocumentation is essential for providing traceability, supporting compliance and certification activities, and facilitating designcontrol. The manufacturer must be able to fully account for all activity pertaining to the
35、 applicable requirements associated withthe aircraft. In addition, any assumptions that are relied upon as part of the design or production process should also be thoroughlydocumented. For parameters that are subject to variation, documentation of the sensitivity of aircraft performance or conformit
36、yto those parameters is also highly recommended.5.5 Plan, Execute, Evaluate, Record (PEER):5.5.1 PlanA systematic plan that covers all elements of compliance, from an overall system for document management anddesign definition to maintenance and continued operational support, should be established a
37、t the beginning of any compliance-related effort. It should include a process for documenting results to be used as a means of checks and balances. The plan shouldcover all phases of product development, manufacture, and support. Reliance on fleet experience or anecdotal information for anexisting d
38、esign does not generally meet the minimum requirements for this plan. Processes that are capable of providingtraceability and support proof of compliance as needed should be implemented within each phase.5.5.2 ExecuteSystematic execution to the plan with thorough documentation is essential to future
39、 declarations of compliance.If documentation is not sufficient, either from newly conducted design or test exercise, or from potentially relevant fleet experience,the manufacturer may have to redo testing or analysis.5.5.3 EvaluateAppropriate evaluation of results in light of each individual require
40、ment and use of planned checks andbalances is critical. Standards are written in terms of minimum requirements such that failure to comply or a lack of ability todemonstrate compliance on any single item in a standard is non-compliance of the entire aircraft or system.5.5.4 RecordAppropriately docum
41、ent all findings that support the applicable requirements. Documents should be clearlyidentified and written so that compliance to the requirements can be easily verified. Document control will also supportconfiguration control.F2930 1536. Compliance Process Overview6.1 OverviewA schematic overview
42、of the compliance process is shown in Fig. 1. One possible path through the light sportaircraft compliance process is provided in Fig. 2. Following these flowcharts does not ensure compliance, nor does implementinga process that differs from these flowcharts necessarily mean non-compliance. Manufact
43、urers are responsible for defining,executing and evaluating their own processes for both initial and ongoing compliance.NOTE 1While Fig. 2 ends with signing a statement of compliance for a production aircraft, each aircraft produced does require its own statementof compliance and must comply with th
44、e set of standards that are currently in effect at the date of manufacture.6.2 Personnel CertificationA key aspect of the compliance process is ensuring that those responsible for determiningcompliance within the manufacturers organization are appropriately trained and qualified to do so. This is tr
45、ue regardless of thelevel of CAAoversight applied to the certification process.While it is not the intent of this Guide to mandate training or a particulartraining course, Manufacturers should be aware of any such requirements that the relevant Civil Aviation Agency in the countyof first registry of
46、 the aircraft may, if desired, impose that mandate training or define limitations of validity and requirements forrecurrent training.The scope discussed in 6.2.1 is intended to be representative of one might expect to see in an appropriate trainingcourse.6.2.1 Training ScopeThe training is intended
47、to verify that graduates are able to understand and determine whether an aircraftdesign and the manufacturers operations and processes meet the requirements set forth in the ASTM standards for Light SportAircraft as well as the relevant regulatory framework. The training aims to provide education on
48、 the relevant standards, how theyare used, and best practices to help minimize potential negative actions by the applicable CAA through robust demonstration ofcompliance. To achieve this, the training provides understanding of:6.2.1.1 How to assess whether there is adequate substantiation to show co
49、mpliance to the applicable standards set forth in theASTM standards for light aircraft;6.2.1.2 The requirements to obtain LSA certification, inclusive of design, performance, quality, and continued operationalsafety;6.2.1.3 The various materials that must be provided with the sale of an ASTM compliant aircraft; andFIG. 1 Compliance Program Schematic OverviewF2930 1546.2.1.4 The responsibilities and duties of an ASTM compliant aircraft manufacturer.6.2.1.5 Additionally, training is desirable to enhance u
