(1) The application must include a risk hazard analysis for the launch. (2) The application must describe the methodology, assumptions and data used in the analysis. (3) The methodology must apply the launch vehicle probability of failure set out in the risk hazard analysis methodology in the Flight Safety Code. (4) If the methodology used differs from the risk hazard analysis methodology in the Flight Safety Code in any other respect, the application must: (a) describe the methodology used in a form that can conveniently be assessed against the methodology in the Flight Safety Code; and (b) set out each difference between the methodology used and the methodology in the Flight Safety Code; and (c) demonstrate, having regard to those differences, that the methodology is technically sound. (5) The application must describe any software used to carry out the analysis, including, for software that is not a generally available commercial product, a description of how the software operates to implement the methodology used. (6) The application must include written confirmation by a suitably qualified expert that the risk hazard analysis and the methodology used in the analysis is technically sound.
