to stresses, thermal effects or other damage
outside of the normal operating parameters,
some ad verse change in that part may occur.
Such change may not be visually detect-

testing to determine airworthiness. Unless
stresses, thermal effects, or other damage
to which parts are subjected as the result of a
crash can be evaluated and deter mine to be
