ADS-66-HDBK, AERONAUTICAL DESIGN STANDARD HANDBOOK: GUIDANCE FOR DATA FOR SAFETY OF FLIGHT AIRWORTHINESS RELEASE FOR HELICOPTER AIRCRAFT SURVIVABILITY EQUIPMENT (ASE) (29 MAY 2003)

ADS-66-HDBK, AERONAUTICAL DESIGN STANDARD HANDBOOK: GUIDANCE FOR DATA FOR SAFETY OF FLIGHT AIRWORTHINESS RELEASE FOR HELICOPTER AIRCRAFT SURVIVABILITY EQUIPMENT (ASE) (29 MAY 2003)., This handbook provides guidance for the ASE (Aircraft Survivability Equipment) data submittals, which will be completed prior to issue of a Safety of Flight (SOF) Release for testing of new/modified ASE equipment installed on U.S. Army aircraft. A combination of analyses, component testing, and ground testing will be used to issue the first release to test the system, which should be stipulated in each contract. The ADS-66 handbook would assist the contractor in determining the exact data/reports needed to assure airworthiness of the system.
