Rationale

The formatting of figures 6, 7, and 8 does not match the accepted Blue Book guidelines. Any requirements described by notes in figures must be addressed in the main body of the standard. The purpose of notes in figures is to clarify requirements in the standard. Ballot proposes language addition as subsections under section “7. Acceleration Limits” for requirements of sustained axial acceleration currently described in the notes of figures 6, 7, and 8, but not in the body of text of the standard. With this language addition to the standard, ballot proposes striking select notes in 6, 7, and 8 which do not provide clarifications on requirements, per Blue Book guidance. No change in accepted technical standards content is proposed. ** All notes in figures that have been struck through (proposed removals) have been added as language to sections 7.1.4.7 and 7.1.4.8, per ballot. No change in accepted technical standards content is proposed. **
