To understand the organizational perspective regarding the requirements that must be met by an organization to achieve the implementation of either Part 21 and the requirements to be met in case of a change.

In addition, consider the various challenges which face an organization on an ongoing basis regarding Configuration Control and related phases.

To consider Configuration Control for Prototype conformity Method used for the control of the test item configuration to remain within established conditions.

  • Conformity and condition for safe operation requirement before submitting modified Aircraft Statement of Conformity, or parts and appliances EASA Form 1.
  • 21.A.727 Obligations of the holder of a permit to fly.
  • Configuration control and the related phases:
  • Identification. All configuration requirements on a project should be identified and recorded. That includes functionality requirements, design requirements, and any other specifications. The completion of this process results in the configuration baseline for the project.
  • Control: As the project scope is altered, the impact on the configuration must be assessed, approved, and documented. This is normally done within the project change control process.
  • Status: Track your project’s configuration at all times.
  • Audit: This includes any check to prove that the product conforms with the configuration requirements.
  • Configuration control for Prototype conformity
    (a) the configuration(s) for which test is requested;
    (b) any condition or restriction necessary for safety
    (c) the substantiation that the prototype is capable of safe operation (test or flight test) under the required conditions
    (d) the method used for the control of the test item configuration, to remain within the established conditions.
  • Subpart Q — Identification of Products, Parts and Appliances
  • Forthcoming Changes The challenge of Performance Based Methodology –what does it mean?
