What should an application of a type Certificate be accompanied with
A three view drawing
Operating characteristics
Basic data
Limitations
What categories fall under emission requirements for the issue of type certificate for aircraft engine
- Prevention of internal fuel venting
- Emissions of turbo jet and turbo fan engines intended for propulsion only at subsonic speeds
- ”” supersonic speeds
What do type designs consist of
Drawings and specifications
What must an applicant of a type Certificate allow EASA to do during the testing and inspections stage
EASA must be allowed to review any report, make any inspection and perform or witness any flight
What is a TCDS and what does it consist of
A Type Certificate Data Sheet
Comes with a type Certificate and details specification of the aircraft including specific type Marc, dimensions, weight, type of engines and equipment fitted
How long must an aircraft be flight tested for before applying for a type Certificate
- For turbine engines not previously used in certified aircraft 300 hours
- All other aircraft 150 hours of operation
How long are type Certificates valid for
Indefinitely as long as the holder stays in compliance with part 21 or unless the Certificate is revoked or surrendered
Who is responsible for creating and updating manuals
The type Certificate holder
What would be considered to be a minor change in type design
A change not affecting mass, balance, structural strength,reliability, operational characteristics, noise, fuel venting, exhaust emissions or any other characteristics affecting Airworthiness
Who would classify and approve minor changes in type design
- The agency (EASA)
- An appropriately approved design organisation under a procedure agreed by the agency
Why would happen if an organisation which is not the manufacturer would like to make a major modification on an aircraft product
They would have to apply and become a Supplementary Type Certificate Holder
Can a Supplementary type Certificate be transferred?
Only as long as the organisation the Certificate can show evidence that they qualify for Design Organisation Approval (DOA) or agreed by EASA
When does a Supplementary Type Certificate need to be renewed
The validity is unlimited as long as the organisation remains in compliance with part-21 or the Certificate is surrendered or revoked
Apart from CofA what other things need to be in order to deem an aircraft fit to fly
That it has been maintained in accordance with an authorised maintenance schedule, and any action deemed essential by the NAA is carried out
Can ‘orphan’ aircraft be issued with Type Certificates
No, they can only apply for Restricted Type Certificates
When does an aircraft become ‘Orphan’
- The legal person that holds the TC no longer exists
- TC holder no longer complies with regulatory obligations
When does the Subpart P - Permit to Fly not affect
Military or police organisations
When would a Permit to Fly be issued
A Permit to Fly would be issued to an aircraft that doesn’t meet applicable Airworthiness requirements but are capable of safe flight under defined conditions
