ASTM F2415-06

Standard Practice for Continued Airworthiness System for Light Sport Gyroplane Aircraft

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
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 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.;
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.
