1、Designation: F 2241 05aStandard Specification forContinued Airworthiness System for Powered ParachuteAircraft1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2241; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of l
2、ast revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 The following continued airworthiness requirementsapply for the manufacture of powered parachute aircraft andtheir qua
3、lification for possible certification.1.2 This specification applies to powered parachute aircraftseeking civil aviation authority approval, in the form of flightcertificates, flight permits, or other like documentation.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any,
4、 associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory requirements prior to use.2.

6、arachute AircraftF 2244 Specification for Design and Performance Require-ments for Powered Parachute Aircraft3. Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 powered parachute, naircraft comprised of a flex-ible or semi-rigid wing connected to a fuselage in such a waythat the wing is not in position for flight u
7、ntil the aircraft is inmotion. That aircraft has a fuselage with seats, engine, andwheels (or floats), such that the wing and engine cannot beflown without the wheels (or floats) and seat(s). Unique to thepowered parachute is the large displacement between thecenter of lift (high) and the center of
8、gravity (low), which ispendulum effect. Pendulum effect limits angle of attackchanges, provides stall resistance and maintains flight stability.4. Current Operators List Documentation4.1 The manufacturer shall maintain a list of registeredaircraft owners that includes all aircraft in service by seri
9、alnumber, registration number, together with the name andaddress of the owner.4.2 In cases where the appropriate Civil Aviation Authoritymaintains records of registered owners sufficient for trackingaircraft and the manufacturer has access to such records, themanufacturer may elect to utilize such r
10、ecords for complyingwith this section.5. Monitoring, Investigation and Remedial Action5.1 The manufacturer shall maintain contact with dealersand owners who report incidents or other situations that mightrelate to safety, operations, or maintenance of aircraft producedand placed in service. The manu
11、facturer will promptly inves-tigate all reported failures, malfunctions, or defects and de-velop the appropriate corrective action. The magnitude of theservice problem will define the subsequent publication to theoperators.6. Safety Directives6.1 A safety directive will be distributed to all operato
12、rswhen a condition is found to exist that may also exist in otheraircraft in the fleet and which would cause a deviation fromoriginal design or unsafe condition for flight, rendering theaircraft unairworthy.

Service Bulletin Documents7.1 Service bulletins will be distributed to all operators bythe manufacturer when no unsafe condition exists that couldlead to an unairworthy condition, but a service problem hasbecome repetitive for which the manufacturer has devel
17、oped adesign change, or service procedure change that will contributeto the improvement or convenience of operation or mainte-nance of the aircraft. Service bulletin changes are not manda-tory to maintain the aircrafts compliance with ASTM Stan-dards.8. Service Letter Documents8.1 The manufacturer w
18、ill issue service letters on anysubject that is considered helpful to the operators. Such lettersare intended to maintain a good rapport with the operators,encourage feedback on service and other problems, or tocirculate items of interest that an operator may feel would be ofvalue to other operators
19、. A service letter does not include anymandatory operator actions.9. Continuation of Airworthiness9.1 Copies MaintainedIn order to help insure that the fleetof aircraft remains airworthy even after the original manufac-turer has ceased to exist as a viable business entity, the originalmanufacturer s
20、hall maintain documentation on file showingcompliance with Specifications F 2240, F 2241, F 2242,F 2243, and F 2244. This documentation showing compliancewith the specifications and any safety directives shall be copiedand maintained at a physically safe location. For purposes ofthis specification,
21、a physically safe location is one which is atleast 33 m (100 ft) from the main production facility, such thata fire could not destroy both sets of records.9.2 Access AssuranceThis documentation should beavailable in such a manner that it can be obtained forcommercial use in the event that existing a
22、venues of recoveringthe information is destroyed. This documentation shall beretained even after the original manufacturer ceases businessactivity such that in the event that a future entity wishes tocontinue supporting the airworthiness of the make and modelinvolved, they may do so by making use of
23、 the originalmanufacturers documentation. The original manufacturer mayeither keep these documents on file such that they will beavailable at any future date or shall turn them over to aresponsible agency such as the FAA, or other industry entity,for safe keeping. The location and contact for access
24、ing thesedocuments shall be presented in the Aircraft Operating Instruc-tions, and any revision to this information shall be dissemi-nated through service bulletins to the aircraft owners.10.
