but not every installation would need to be flight tested
The draft AC implies (by para 2.2.3.1 and 2.3.1) that everything needs to be tested:
2.2.3.1: "the operational flight envelope must be defined and tested. This will require the applicant to propose and demonstrate, by test, their operational flight envelope"
Is there a conceivable ground test that would meet the intent of this (i.e. not requiring actual flight test?)
