10.5 Subpart B - TC's and RTC's Flashcards
what is an aircraft product? (3)
*Aircraft
*engine
*propeller
when would an aircraft be eligible for certificate of airworthiness?
when the engine or propeller also gain type certification
who issues the type certificate and when?
By easa when all the requirements have been met.
who becomes the Type certificate holder?
the organisation who carries out the design of an aircraft which gain type approval.
What is the scope of subpart B?
establishes the procedure for issuing TC’s for products and RTC’s for aircraft and establishes the rights and obligations of the applicants for and holders of those certificates
how shall an application for a TC or RTC be made? (3)
- in a form and manner established by the agency
- (Aircraft) accompanying 3-view drawing of the aircraft with prelimanary data including operating characteristics and limitations
- (Engine) general arrangement drawing with design features, operating characteristics and limitations.
what are airworthiness codes (CS)?
means to show compliance of products
when might easa prescribe special conditions? (3)
when the airworthiness codes do not contain adequete safety standards due to
* novel or unusual design features
* intended use is unconventional
* experience from similar products show unsafe conditions may develop
contain such safety standard necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established in airworthiness codes
what is the basis of the issuance of a TC or RTC?
applicable airwothiness codes effective at date of application are complied with
what are the effectivity for an application for a TC for large aeroplanes and large rotorcraft?
5 years
what are the effectivity for an application for a TC for any other applicant other than large aeroplanes and large rotorcraft?
3 years unless the applicant requires longer for development and testing and is approved by easa
if a TC hasn’t been issued within the time limit, what may the applicant do?
file a new application and comply with all the provisions of the original application,
OR
file for an extension and comply with any additional airworthiness codes that are effective on that date
where are the noise requirements for the issuance of a TC found?
Chpater 1 of annex 16, Volume 1, Part 2 of the Chicago convention
what categories of aircraft does noise requirements cover?
- subsonic jet aeroplanes
- propeller driven aeroplanes
- helicopters
- supersonic aeroplanes
what is found within the emission requirements for the issuance of a TC? (3)
- prevention of intentional fuel venting
- emissions of turbojet and turbofan engines at subsonic speeds
- emissions of turbojet and turbofan engine at supersonic
how will easa issue AMC for noise and emission requirements?
via the use of certification specifications
when might a new application for a TC be required?
when the agency find the change in design, power, thrust or mass is extensive enough to require a complete investgation of compliance
how will an applicant show compliance with the TC basis? (5)
- demonstrate compliance with TC basis and environmental protection
- provide easa a certification programe detailing compliance demonstration and updated as necessary
- record justification of compliance according to the certification programme
- demonstrate compliance with TC basis and environmental protection requirements
- point 4 made in accordance with subpart J if a DOA
when will an applicant be entitled to a product TC?
- demonstrate capability to be a DOA
- submits declaration regarding TC basis
- shows that:
1. product meets applicable TC basis and environmental requirements
2. non compliance with airworthiness provisions compensated with equivalent level of safety
3. no features or characteristic makes it unsafe
4. applicant states it is prepared to comply with DOA
when might an RTC be used instead of a TC?
when an aircraft doesn’t meet the provisions of the issuance of a TC
when will a RTC be issued?
- when applicant complies with appropriate TC basis and with applicable environmental protection requirements
- applicant states it is prepared to comply with DOA responsbilities
for a RTC to be issued, what must the engine or propeller have?
a TC and comply with CS necessary to ensure safe flight
what should a type design consist of?
- drawings and specifications
- materials and processes of methods of manufacture and assembly
- approved airworthiness limitations sections for continued airworthiness
- other data necessary to allow by comparison, noise, fuel venting, exhaust emissions
what must the applicant do in regards to inpsection and tests?
carry out as necessary to demonstrate compliance
