    This document discusses an equivalent level of safety (ELOS) for the certification specification VLA.771(b), which protects pilots and controls from propeller blade release. Specifically, it allows strengthening the pilot compartment structure and adding impact resistance features as an alternative to strictly meeting the location requirements in the certification specification. If this alternative approach is used, the applicant must determine the most critical impact condition from a propeller blade and show through tests or analysis that this impact would not endanger the pilot or controls.

    EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY


    Pilot Compartment - Protection of Pilot and Controls from Propeller Blade Release

    ELOS CS VLA.771 (b), Pilot Compartment - Protection of Pilot and Controls from Propeller
    Blade Release

    VLA.771 (b) requires the aerodynamic controls listed in VLA.779, excluding cables and
    control rods, to be located with respect to the propeller so that no part of the pilot or the
    controls lies in the region between the plane of rotation of propeller and the surface
    generated by a line passing through the centre of the propeller hub making an angle of 5°
    forward or aft of the plane of rotation of the propeller.
    The intention of this requirement is to ensure the loss of a propeller blade or parts of it does
    not endanger the pilot directly nor indirectly through the cockpit controls hit by the propeller
    blade or parts of it.
    This intention might also be satisfied by strengthening the structure in the critical area and/or
    by providing impact resistance features, to protect pilots and controls from propeller blade
    release.
    If this approach of strengthening the structure and/or providing impact resistance features is
    intended to be used, then:
    (b)(1) The most critical impact condition (mass, size and speed of propeller blade fragment,
    impact angle, etc.) with respect to the structure around the pilot / co-pilotsubject to
    possible penetration by a propeller blade or parts of it must be determined.
    (b)(2) It must be shown by simulation tests or analysis supported by tests that the propeller
    fragment of (b)(1) is not able to endanger the pilot directly or indirectly by hitting the
    aerodynamic cockpit controls listed in VLA.779.
