4、he Rules.However, these standards may be more broadly applicable and their usage should not be unnecessarily limited.1.3 The applicant for a design approval shall seek the individual guidance of their respective civil aviation authority (CAA)body concerning the use of this specification as part of a
5、 certification plan. For information on which CAA regulatory bodies haveaccepted this specification (in whole or in part) as a means of compliance to their small aircraft airworthiness regulations(hereinafter referred to as “the Rules”), refer to ASTM Committee F44 webpage (www.astm.org/COMMITTEE/F4
