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.

3
TYPE ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATES

• 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

4
TYPE ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATES

• 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.

5
TYPE ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATES

• 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.

TYPE ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATES
Certificate of Airworthiness Categories Type
Acceptance Certificates are issued to enable
Certificates of Airworthiness (CoAs) to be issued
in one or more of the following categories

• (a) Transport
• (b) Normal
• (c) Utility
• (d) Acrobatic

• (e) Commuter
• (f) Manned free balloons
• (g) Primary
• (h) Restricted

7
TYPE ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATES

• 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.

8
TYPE ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATES

• 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.

9
TYPE ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATES

• 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

10
TYPE ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATES

• 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.

11
TYPE ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATES

• Supply of continuing airworthiness data
• Type 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.

12
TYPE ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATES

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

13
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.

14
TYPE ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATES

• 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.

15
TYPE ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATES

• 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.

16
TYPE ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATES

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

17
TYPE ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATES

• 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.

18
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.

19
TYPE ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATES
