Research on airworthiness verification technology of minimum weight MOC8 test of civil aircraft

The inclusion of modification items and test equipment on the test aircraft renders it unattainable to achieve the minimum weight as defined by design during the flight test. Consequently, it is imperative to conduct minimum weight MOC8 test on the engineering simulator. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the airworthiness clause pertaining to minimum weight, devises a scenario for verifying MOC8 compliance with minimum weight requirements, and proposes a methodology for conducting MOC8 conformity verification based on minimum weight. The research findings have been successfully applied in practical engineering.
