(1) performing the [damage tolerance evaluation](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/damage-tolerance-evaluation) (DTE) of [baseline structure](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/baseline-structure), modified structure and published repairs;

(2) identifying the aeroplane structural configuration to be evaluated;

(3) identifying [widespread fatigue damage](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/widespread-fatigue-damage) (WFD)-susceptible structure;

(4) identifying the source of engineering data that will be used to perform the required evaluations;

(5) performing the WFD evaluation of structure;

(6) establishing a [limit of validity](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/limit-of-validity) (LOV) and plans for distribution upon approval (including incorporation of the LOV into the ([airworthiness limitation section](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/airworthiness-limitation-section)) ALS);
