ABSTRACT
This specification sets the minimum requirements necessary for the establishment of written quality assurance and production acceptance programs for a manufacturer or component supplier of kit and ready-to-fly light sport gyroplane aircraft that seeks civil aviation authority approval in the form of flight certificates, flight permits, or other like documentation.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification sets minimum requirements for light sport gyroplane or gyroplane component quality assurance and production acceptance programs.
1.2 This specification applies to light sport gyroplane aircraft seeking civil aviation authority approval in the form of flight certificates, flight permits, or other like documentation. This specification applies to kit and ready to fly aircraft.
1.3 Certification of compliance with specific individual processes in CEN UNI EN 9100, version 2005 or later, may be presented as compliance with similar representative individual requirements of this ASTM Quality Assurance standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
