=parameters defining the prob-

ability distributions of root-mean-square 
gust velocity, to be read from Figures 1 
and 2 of this appendix. 

The limit gust loads must be read from the 
frequency of exceedance curves at a fre-
quency of exceedance of 2

×

10¥5 exceedances 

per hour. Both positive and negative load di-
rections must be considered in determining 
the limit loads. 

(4) If a stability augmentation system is 

utilized to reduce the gust loads, consider-

ation must be given to the fraction of flight 
time that the system may be inoperative. 
The flight profiles of paragraph (c)(1) of this 
appendix must include flight with the sys-
tem inoperative for this fraction of the flight 
time. When a stability augmentation system 
is included in the analysis, the effect of sys-
tem nonlinearities on loads at the limit load 
level must be conservatively accounted for. 

(d) 

Supplementary design envelope analysis. 

In addition to the limit loads defined by 
paragraph (c) of this appendix, limit loads 
must also be determined in accordance with 
paragraph (b) of this appendix, except that— 

(1) In paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this appendix, 

the value of U

s=85 fps true gust velocity is 

replaced by U

s=60 fps true gust velocity on 

the interval 0 to 30,000 ft. altitude, and is lin-
early decreased to 25 fps true gust velocity 
at 80,000 ft. altitude; and 

(2) In paragraph (b) of this appendix, the 

reference to paragraphs (b)(3)(i) through 
(b)(3)(iii) of this appendix is to be understood 
as referring to the paragraph as modified by 
paragraph (d)(1).
