The Design Code Used. However thanks to Mark Miller - Chief Engineer at de Havilland Support Ltd.,. Mark has kindly clarified this point as follows:-. The design code used for de Havilland civil aircraft of the Chilton's era was AP1208, 'Airworthiness Handbook for Civil Aircraft. But usually with AP970 ('Handbook of Strength Calculations'. Mentioned as the source of methodology for derivation of load factors. Authored by their lecturer at de Havilland, D. R. Adams. Categorises 'Civil Flying Machines'.
