ICAO ANNEX 8 AMD 105B PDF

General

Compliance with the Standards prescribed in this chapter shall be established by flight or other tests conducted upon an aeroplane or aeroplanes of the type for which a Type Certificate is sought, or by calculations (or other methods) based on such tests, provided that the results obtained by calculations (or other methods) are equal in accuracy to, or conservatively represent, the results of direct testing.

Compliance with each Standard shall be established for all applicable combinations of aeroplane mass and centre of gravity position, within the range of loading conditions for which certification is sought.

Where necessary, appropriate aeroplane configurations shall be established for the determination of performance in the various stages of flight and for the investigation of the aeroplane’s flying qualities.
