We start with a few aircraft accidents in which the wings come off in flight. With a wee-little-bit of engineering, these accidents could have been easily avoided and the book tells how.
The detailed steps of applying for and going through FAA Certification of general aviation aircraft is then described. Examples for performing stress analysis for limit and ultimate load analysis is presented. Noise calculations and/or flight testing for noise, the rules and what to do with electronic equipment, EMI testing and electronic load calculations are show.
For the past 10 years, Hollmann has worked as a Designated Engineering Representative (DER) for the FAA and some of his experience is documented in the book. This is the first and only book on certification and it is way past due. A must read for anyone who wants to keep existing or new airplanes safe.
