This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions:
3.1.1 weight-shift-control aircraft, n—a powered aircraft with a framed pivoting wing and a fuselage controllable only in pitch
and roll by the pilot’s ability to change the aircraft’s center of gravity with respect to the wing. Flight control of the aircraft depends
on the wing’s ability to flexibly deform rather than the use of control surfaces.
4. Interface Documentation
4.1 Interface documentation is the data necessary for the aircraft manufacturer to complete overall certification to ASTM Weight
Shift Control standards. The following data represents a guide to recommended type, detail, and general format for data transfer
from a major subcontractor to the aircraft manufacturer.
4.2 Manufacturer’s Reference Documents—The following are reference documents that should be supplied to the manufacturer
by the subcontractor. These are intended to be maintained at a current status and referenced by documents provided with each
delivered product.
4.2.1 Quality Assurance Manual—In order to meet the requirements of Specification F2972, it will be necessary for the
manufacturer to have a current copy of the subcontractor’s quality assurance manual on file. This manual needs to show that written
