Generic VIs Sample Clauses
Generic VIs. These consist of VIs that have been identified by the VA for particular scrutiny in all products of a certain class. Generic VI lists must be developed and approved by the appropriate Directorates within the FAA and EASA. The VA will publish and periodically update a list of Generic VIs for each product class. The VA team will identify applicable VIs from this list during its familiarization with the particular validation project. Generic VIs include:
a) New VA standards where there is no past experience by the VA with their application to a product, they have an important impact on the whole product or a critical feature, and engineering judgment is required to establish compliance,
b) New VA standards where there is no past experience by the CA with their application to a product, they have an important impact on the whole product or a critical feature, and engineering judgment is required to establish compliance,
c) Airworthiness standards where VA and CA interpretive, advisory, MOC, or guidance materials differ or are insufficient,
d) Commonly occurring Project VIs (See Note after Paragraph 4.4.g), and
e) Standards identified for special emphasis by the VA in a data-driven risk assessment analysis for the product class. (If the VA and the CA have both identified a standard for special emphasis, it generally should not be a VI.)
Generic VIs. SSDs – Airworthiness standards differences where the standards are substantively different and may result in type design changes (including approved manuals) to meet the airworthiness standards of the VA. SSDs will be identified by the VA based on a comparison of applicable VA and CA standards. If no specific SSD listing is provided, this criterion may not be applied.
