Operational demonstrations will be conducted in accordance with AACR-approved procedures and applicable law.
5 Analysis by AACR of the reports prepared by the operator based on operational demonstrations
(as the case)

The analysis reaches at least the following points:

  • how to comply with the procedures declared by the operator and approved by AACR;
  • flight preparation;
  • monitoring the activity by the ybor operations manager;
