(B)Spider 8 Structure Test Procedure
(B)1.Test Definition
The purpose of these test procedures is to demonstrate structural integrity for the installation
of the Spider 8.
(B)2.Special Tools and Equipment
A calibrated digital or analogue fish hook type scale (e.g. Transducer Techniques HFG-110)
is required to conduct the structural testing.
(B)3.Test Conditions
The Spider 8 must be installed prior to starting the structural testing. Allow for adequate time
for the adhesive to fully bond to the installation location.
(B)4.Applied Loads
Conservative ultimate load factors for structural testing purposes are provided for FAR 23
(normal, acrobatic and utility category airplanes) and FAR 27 (normal rotorcraft)
installations. For additional information, refer to the acceptable data source, FAA
AC43.13-2B, Chapter 1, Paragraphs 103 through 105.
