Scope: This document specifies the general requirements for light sports airships and the safety design requirements for flight, structure, design and construction, power units, equipment, and operational restrictions. This document applies to light sports airships. Main technical content: This document closely combines the current development status of light sports airships in China, takes into account the actual development situation of light sports airships in China, and references relevant standards such as AC-21-AA-2009-09R1 "Model Qualification Audit for Airships", AC-21-AA-2015-25R1 "Guidelines for Airworthiness Management of Light Sports Aircraft", and FAA P-8110-2 "Airship Design Criteria". Based on an analysis of the domestic industrial development level, extensive research, and incorporating mature foreign standards, this document formulates technical requirements for light sports airships that are suitable for China's national conditions, to guide industrial parties in design and technical review of light sports airships. This document specifies the general requirements for light sports airships and the safety design requirements for flight, structure, design and construction, power units, equipment, and operational restrictions. This document is the basic basis for the organization, implementation, and guarantee of technical requirements for light sports airships by the China AOPA, and is a technical specification that all institutions and individuals who voluntarily agree to this standard must abide by. It can also serve as a basis for research institutions that recognize this standard to conduct research in related fields.
