Although the structure in the example was assumed to be depot level inspectable for less than a failed load path, the intact structure requirement associated with this set of conditions might have been more difficult to meet than would be the case if the structure were not inspectable for less than a failed load path.  In the latter case, it would be satisfactory for the designer to qualify the structure under the alternate requirement described in Section 1.3.7.2.6.  As is often the case, the designer may choose to qualify the structure in the easiest (analysis) manner.
