TYPE ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATES

OBJECTIVE

• This chapter provides guidance in the procedure for the issue of a Type Acceptance Certificate for foreign aircraft types, using an automatic acceptance procedure.


Type Certificate. A TC, as defined by FAR 21.41, includes

the type design, the operating limitations, the type certificate data sheet (TCDS), the applicable regulations, and any other conditions or limitations prescribed by the FAA


• Recognised countries

Recognised country for the purpose

of issuing type certificates is a state

(ICAO contracting or not) where

the NAA has been found to have a comprehensive code of Airworthiness certification and over sight.


Recognised countries• The foreign NAA that issued the original Type

Certificate will be regarded as the nominated NAA for airworthiness control of the aircraft listed on that certificate.

• Note: This automatic acceptance procedure must not be applied in situations where the NAA of a recognised country has issued a Type Acceptance Certificate or similar document on the basis that the NAA of another country has issued a Type Certificate.


(a) Transport;

(b) Normal;

(c) Utility;

(d) Acrobatic;

(e) Commuter;

(f) Manned free balloons;

(g) Primary;

(h) Restricted

Certificate of Airworthiness CategoriesType Acceptance Certificates are issued to enable Certificates of Airworthiness (CoAs) to be issued in one or more of the following categories:


Certificate of Airworthiness Categories

• CoAs should usually be issued in the same category available under the foreign Type Certificate, subject to a review by the ‘Authority’ of the foreign certification basis, including any special conditions, waivers, exemptions, equivalent safety determinations etc. made by the foreign NAA.


Aircraft type details

• The application should state exactly which models are to be included on the Type Acceptance Certificate. These models must be included on the foreign Type Certificate. Each model included on the Type Acceptance Certificate must be covered by the required data.


Supply of data• The following data should be supplied:

– A statement of the applicable design certification standards.

– General interior arrangement

configuration drawings– Three-view drawing exterior configuration.– Master drawing list– Master equipment list


• Supply of data (Continued)– Aircraft Flight Manual including the Configuration

Deviation List, if applicable.– Instructions for Continued Airworthiness.– Certification compliance (checklist)– Data and descriptive information needed by the

Authority to approve the type certificate data sheet.– Listing of service life for critical parts subject to

fatigue.


• Supply of continuing airworthiness dataType acceptance is conditional on the continued

airworthiness support of the aircraft and components in the form of service bulletins and other instructions, amendments to documents, and foreign

airworthiness directives etc. The applicant must arrange for the foreign Type Certificate holder to continue to supply this data.


• The ‘Authority’ should arrange with the nominated NAA for the supply of airworthiness directives issued by that NAA for the type of aircraft concerned.

CONDITIONS, REFUSAL, SUSPENSION OR CANCELLATION

Issue of a Type Acceptance Certificate subject to conditions– The ‘Authority’ may issue a Type

Acceptance Certificate (TAC) subject to conditions, provided there are reasonable grounds for believing that issuing the certificate without imposing conditions or taking other measures would constitute a significant threat to aviation safety.


CONDITIONS, REFUSAL, SUSPENSION OR CANCELLATION

Refusal to issue a Type Acceptance Certificate

• Note that ‘Authority’ may, refuse to issue a Type Acceptance Certificate if there are reasonable safety grounds not to do so.


• Suspension or cancellation of a TAC. The ‘Authority’ may suspend or cancel a TAC if it considers that it is necessary to do so in the interests of aviation safety. An inability on the part of the

foreign Type Certificate holder to provide ongoing technical support for the aircraft type may constitute grounds for such suspension or cancellation.


• Consultation

• The ‘Authority’ should consult with and consider the views of, the applicant, the NAA that issued the foreign Type Certificate, and the manufacturer.


Director should exercise powers personally

Normally only the Director has the power to:

– issue a Type Acceptance Certificate subject to a condition,

– refuse to issue a Type Acceptance Certificate or

– suspend or cancel a Type Acceptance Certificate.

AGED TRANSPORT CATEGORY AIRCRAFT

• The applicant should be aware that before a standard CoA can be issued to such an aircraft, the ‘Authority’ may require additional data related to the aircraft history, structural integrity programs, supplementary inspections etc.


• TYPE CERTIFICATION COMPLETION CHECKLIST

• Resolution of all technical issues.

• A statement from the ‘Authority’ certifying compliance with the type certification basis or agreed certification criteria (including additional technical conditions).

• Compliance checklist.


CHECK LIST

• Instructions for Continued Airworthiness or Airworthiness Limitations.

• Draft Aircraft Flight Manual.

• Draft Type Certificate Data Sheet.

• Noise Evaluation Statement (not required for amended TCs).

• Programme Dates established (end, TCDS follows)
