This special condition is intended being issued to become part of the type certification basis of airplanes certified against CS-VLA when having a Ballistic Recovery Systems installed.
At the time being special conditions as airworthiness requirements exist only for Part 23 aircraft types as well as for Ultra Light aircraft (UL). For VLAs this is the first time that an applicant applied for this design feature. The comparison of both of these existing set of requirements proved that the more stringent requirements for Part 23 aircraft are appropriate for VLA after necessary adoption.
It is important to know that the installation and use of a BRS is not intended to compensate any other airworthiness requirements of CS-VLA.
