(a) Application of load. The resultant water load shall be applied vertically in the plane of symmetry and shall be distributed over the hull bottom from the second step forward with an intensity equal to the pressures specified in §§ 3.267-3.272.
(b) Magnitude of load. The limit resultant load shall equal three-fourths of the maximum design weight of the airplane.
(c) Hull shear and bending loads. The hull shear and bending loads shall be determined by assuming the hull structure to be supported at the wing attachment fittings and neglecting internal inertia loads. This condition need not be applied to the fittings or to the portion of the hull ahead of the rear attachment fittings.
