  5.3.1 The Administration should prescribe, if appropriate, limits of safe use of any of the directional control devices, if necessary, following a demonstration, and be satisfied by such demonstration that all systems as fitted and limited are effective within the permitted speed ranges in all conditions for which the craft is to be certificated.

  5.3.2 The Administration should determine by demonstration any adverse effects upon safe operation of the craft in the event of an uncontrollable total deflection of any one steering device, and should prescribe any limitation on the operation of the craft as may be necessary to ensure that the redundancy or safeguards in the systems provide equivalent safety.
