The applicant must determine the structural design loads acting on:
- (a)Each engine mount and its supporting structure such that both are designed to withstand loads resulting from—
- (b)Each flight control and high-lift surface, their associated system and supporting structure resulting from—
- (1)The inertia of each surface and mass balance attachment;
- (2)Flight gusts and maneuvers;
- (3)Pilot or automated system inputs;
- (4)System induced conditions, including jamming and friction; and
- (5)Taxi, takeoff, and landing operations on the applicable surface, including downwind taxi and gusts occurring on the applicable surface.
- (c)A pressurized cabin resulting from the pressurization differential—
- (1)From zero up to the maximum relief pressure combined with gust and maneuver loads;
- (2)From zero up to the maximum relief pressure combined with ground and water loads if the airplane may land with the cabin pressurized; and
- (3)At the maximum relief pressure multiplied by 1.33, omitting all other loads.
