(Cont)
(3) Those which the contractor has determined
or deduced to be safe based on realistic con-
sideration of all pertinent factors including but
not limited to the following; results of analyses
of the whole helicopter and its component parts
from the aerodynamic, structural, and functional
viewpoints; status of completion of tests which
may by this specification or by any of the docu-
ments listed in paragraph 2 herein, be required
to be completed as a prerequisite to certain
flights; and review of observations made and data
recorded during prior flights, reduced and extra-
polated to the maximum extent practicable, except
that test authorities are authorized to waive
reduction and extrapolation of the recorded data
for tests performed pursuant to this paragraph
3.1.5.2(3) under their authority, when in their
opinion, reduction and extrapolation of the
data are not necessary for safety prior to
further flight testing. Such waivers to expedite
flight testing shall not be construed to negate
other provisions of this document relating to
submittal of data.
operating limits permitted by (2) and (3), above, shall be not more
critical than those for which satisfactory fatigue life and ultimate
factor of safety of 1.5 have been proven both by tests that have
been performed, and by stress or fatigue analyses that have been
accepted by NAVAIR. In the event that such tests have not been
Performed and/or appropriate stress or fatigue anslyses have not been
accepted by the NAVAIR, the operating limits permitted by (2} and
(31, above, shall be not more critical than those for which satis-
factory fatigue life and a factor of safety of 2.0 have been proven
by stress or fatigue analyses and other data that are acceptable
to the NAVPRO.

copters shall not be flown by Navy pilots
