ATTACHMENT E
FLIGHT TEST
AV will perform a flight test plan which will optimize data collection efficiency during the Flight Tests. A build-up approach to the flight test campaign will be conducted which efficiently demonstrates aircraft handling and performance at low altitude prior to transitioning to high altitude. Ref. PDM AV 55266-1019.
Data will be collected to verify that the final aircraft configuration meets the requirements defined for FAA basis of certification as detailed in PDM AV55266-1020 – FAA Standards Development and Coordination. The details of the flight test program pertain to the prototype version of the [***] Prototype with the goal of demonstrating [***] flight endurance.
Prior to the beginning of the initial Flight Test, the AV team will accomplish exhaustive build-up testing in venues such as environmental qualification laboratories, the HAP System Integration Laboratory, and HAP flight deck and flight test control room simulation environments.
The Ground Test and Flight Test Plan listed in PDM AV 55266-1019 list the following test elements to be successfully completed for the [***] Prototype flight test program.
Ground test campaign:
oAircraft functional tests with motor runs
oGround handling
oAirfield operations
Low altitude flight test campaign (with Flight Test Instrumentation System)
oBaseline location is [***]
oThis phase consists of notionally [***] on [***] and [***]

ATTACHMENT G
CHANGE CONTROL
CHANGE CONTROL PROCEDURES
The following Change Control Procedures shall only apply to Changes to Attachments A, C, and D.
1. To propose a Change, the Party's Project Manager shall deliver a written proposal (a "Change Control Proposal") in the form provided in this Attachment G to the Project Manager of the other Party specifying (i) the proposed Change, (ii) the objective or purpose of such Change, (iii) the requirements and specifications of the deliverables to be delivered pursuant to such Change, and (iv) the requested prioritization and schedule for such Change. HAPSMobile and AV shall cooperate in good faith in discussing the scope and nature of the Change Control Proposal, the availability of AV personnel, expertise and resources to provide such Change and the time period in which such change will be implemented. Within five business days of the receipt of the Change Control Proposal from HAPSMobile, AV shall prepare and deliver to HAPSMobile a written assessment of the proposal (the "Change Assessment") (i) describing any changes in products, services, assignment of personnel and other resources that AV believes will be required, (ii) estimating the increase or decrease in the AV charges that would be required due to such Change, (iii) estimating the increase in HAPSMobile costs that would be required due to such Change (iii) estimating scheduling changes including Milestones, (iv) specifying how the proposed Change would be implemented, (v) describing the effect, if any, such Change would have on this Agreement, (vi) estimating all resources required to implement such Change, (vii) describing the delivery risks and associated risk mitigation plans and (viii) providing such other information as may be relevant to the proposed Change. To the extent that a proposed Change is of such multitude, magnitude or complexity that it is not feasible for AV to produce a detailed Change Assessment within five business days of its receipt of a Change Control Proposal from HAPSMobile, AV shall prepare and deliver to HAPSMobile a summary Change Assessment outlining such details regarding the prospective Change as AV can ascertain within such five business day period, and the Parties shall agree upon a schedule for the production of a more detailed Change Assessment. If required as part of the Change Assessment, AV will assist HAPSMobile with organizing the Hardware and Software vendors’ input and responses in a timely manner.
2. HAPSMobile shall review the Change Assessment and respond within five business days of its receipt of a Change Assessment, indicating whether HAPSMobile desires AV to implement the Change pursuant to the Change Assessment. Upon Steering Committee approval, the Parties will execute a Change Control (a “Change Control”) based upon such Change Assessment. All Change Controls must be approved in writing by AV and HAPSMobile before AV commences work on the proposed Change.
3. The Parties shall modify and update the Agreement (including the Estimated Completion Dates) and the pricing schedule as necessary to reflect any such Change Controls.
