(Practice)Standard Practice for Continued Airworthiness System for Light Sport Gyroplane Aircraft (Withdrawn 2023)
Standard Practice for Continued Airworthiness System for Light Sport Gyroplane Aircraft (Withdrawn 2023)
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 The purpose of this practice is to establish a method by which safety of flight issues are discovered, evaluated, and corrected for the purpose of maintaining operational safety of a light sport gyroplane aircraft.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers continued operational safety monitoring of light sport gyroplane aircraft.
1.2 This practice applies to light sport gyroplane aircraft seeking civil aviation authority approval in the form of flight certificates, flight permits, or other like documentation. This practice applies to kit and ready-to-fly aircraft supplied by a manufacturer.
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 continued airworthiness monitoring standard.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.5 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 limitations prior to use.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This practice covers continued operational safety monitoring of light sport gyroplane aircraft.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F37 on Light Sport Aircraft, this practice was withdrawn in January 2023 in accordance with Section 10.6.3 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.
