CS 23.2225Component loading conditions

(a)The applicant must determine the loads acting upon all relevant structural components, in response to:

(1)interaction of systems and structures;

(2)structural design loads;

(3)flight load conditions; and

(4)ground and water load conditions.

(b)The complete pressurised cabin, including doors, windows, canopy and valves, is exposed as a pressure vessel for the maximum relief valve setting multiplied by a factor of 1.33, without considering other loads.
