24、 Measure4. Significance and Use4.1 This guide provides some major themes and examplesfor consideration related to compliance which are not neces-sarily captured in any single standard pertinent to light sportaircraft. The outline of this document is intended to looselyreflect the process that an org

25、anization would go through inorder to reach and maintain production of a light sport aircraftthat is demonstrably compliant with the applicable ASTMstandards.4.2 These considerations are applicable to manufacturerswhich are responsible for conformity to processes and proce-dures required in ASTM sta

26、ndards for light sport aircraft.Manufacturers are encouraged to think through the contents ofthis guide, reference the ASTM light sport aircraft standards,establish, document and follow their own procedures.4.3 Manufacturers are responsible for determining whichstandards and revisions thereof are pa

27、rt of the regulatorypackage of any given CAA, along with any other requirementsapplicable within the agencys jurisdiction.4.4 Following this guide does not ensure compliance of aparticular light sport aircraft; however, following the explana-tions provided herein should assist manufacturers in avoid

28、ingcommon pitfalls of declaring compliance prematurely, deter-mining shortcomings in current declarations of compliance,and maintaining a body of documentation sufficient to supporta declaration of compliance.5. Key Themes5.1 The following key concepts are essential to the compli-ance process and ca

29、n be seen throughout this guide. Manufac-turers are encouraged to keep these themes in mind.5.2 Configuration ControlOver the course of the develop-ment or compliance program, or both, the configuration shouldbe captured such that the specifics of the compliant design arecharacterized, traceable, an

30、d documented. This includes ele-ments such as definition, source, specifications, and a systemfor managing configuration.5.3 Change ManagementChanges come about from avariety of sources: changes for improvements to a design, as aresult of safety of flight issues, or in response to a change in thesta

31、ndards themselves.All changes must be managed in order tomaintain compliance to the applicable standards throughout theproducts lifecycle. Failure to manage and track changes willresult in non-compliance.5.4 DocumentationThe implementation of the consensusstandards within a certification process dep

32、ends on compliancewhich is not merely declared, but also verifiable and repeat-able. If compliance is not documented, it cannot be assumed.F2930 14a2Thorough documentation is essential for providing traceability,supporting compliance and certification activities, and facili-tating design control. Th

33、e manufacturer must be able to fullyaccount for all activity pertaining to the applicable require-ments associated with the aircraft. In addition, any assumptionsthat are relied upon as part of the design or production processshould also be thoroughly documented. For parameters that aresubject to va

34、riation, documentation of the sensitivity of aircraftperformance or conformity to those parameters is also highlyrecommended.5.5 Plan, Execute, Evaluate, Record (PEER):5.5.1 PlanA systematic plan that covers all elements ofcompliance, from an overall system for document managementand design definiti

35、on to maintenance and continued operationalsupport, should be established at the beginning of anycompliance-related effort. It should include a process fordocumenting results to be used as a means of checks andbalances. The plan should cover all phases of productdevelopment, manufacture, and support

36、. Reliance on fleetexperience or anecdotal information for an existing design doesnot generally meet the minimum requirements for this plan.Processes that are capable of providing traceability and supportproof of compliance as needed should be implemented withineach phase.5.5.2 ExecuteSystematic exe

37、cution to the plan with thor-ough documentation is essential to future declarations ofcompliance. If documentation is not sufficient, either fromnewly conducted design or test exercise, or from potentiallyrelevant fleet experience, the manufacturer may have to redotesting or analysis.5.5.3 EvaluateA

38、ppropriate evaluation of results in light ofeach individual requirement and use of planned checks andbalances is critical. Standards are written in terms of minimumrequirements such that failure to comply or a lack of ability todemonstrate compliance on any single item in a standard isnon-compliance

39、 of the entire aircraft or system.5.5.4 RecordAppropriately document all findings thatsupport the applicable requirements. Documents should beclearly identified and written so that compliance to the require-ments can be easily verified. Document control will alsosupport configuration control.6. Comp

Manufacturers are respon-sible for defining, executing and evaluating their own pro-cesses for both initial and ongoing compliance.NOTE 1While Fig. 2 ends with signing a statement of compliance fora

42、production aircraft, each aircraft produced does require its ownstatement of compliance and must comply with the set of standards thatare currently in effect at the date of manufacture.6.2 Personnel CertificationA key aspect of the compli-ance process is ensuring that those responsible for determini

43、ngcompliance within the manufacturers organization are appro-priately trained and qualified to do so. This is true regardless ofthe level of CAA oversight applied to the certification process.While it is not the intent of this Guide to mandate training ora particular training course, Manufacturers s

44、hould be aware ofany such requirements that the relevant Civil Aviation Agencyin the county of first registry of the aircraft may, if desired,impose that mandate training or define limitations of validityand requirements for recurrent training. The scope discussed in6.2.1 is intended to be represent

45、ative of one might expect to seein an appropriate training course.6.2.1 Training ScopeThe training is intended to verify thatgraduates are able to understand and determine whether anaircraft design and the manufacturers operations and processesmeet the requirements set forth in the ASTM standards fo

46、rLight Sport Aircraft as well as the relevant regulatory frame-work. The training aims to provide education on the relevantstandards, how they are used, and best practices to helpminimize potential negative actions by the applicable CAAthrough robust demonstration of compliance. To achieve this,the

47、training provides understanding of:6.2.1.1 How to assess whether there is adequate substantia-tion to show compliance to the applicable standards set forth inthe ASTM standards for light aircraft;6.2.1.2 The requirements to obtain LSA certification, inclu-sive of design, performance, quality, and co
