If an organisation successfully carried out the design of an aircraft which gains type approval that organisation becomes what
Type certificate holder
How long does an application for a type certificate of large aeroplanes and large rotorcraft be effective for
5 year
What are the two applicable environmental protection requirements
Noise requirement and emissions requirement
Why is a restricted type certificate given to an aircraft
For aircrafts that do not meet the requirements of a type certificate
What should a type design consist of
The drawing and specification
Information on material and processes
An approved airworthiness limitation
Any other data necessary
What is issued with a type certificate
A type certificate data sheet
What does a type certificate data sheet include
Details the specification of the aircraft:
Exact type and mark
Dimensions
Weight
Type of engine
Equipment fitted

300 hours
How many hours of flight test is needed of other aircraft with previous flying
150 hours
Who can you transfer a type certificate and a restricted type certificate too
Can only be transferred to a natural or legal person that is able to undertake design organisation obligations
How long does a type certificate or a restricted type certificate last
Unlimited duration
What should the holder of the type certificate and restricted type certificate produce
Shall produce, maintain and update copies of all manuals required
What should the holder of the type certificate and restricted type certificate furnish
At least one set of complete instructions for continued airworthiness
What are the two different types of changes
A minor change and a major change
What is a minor change
A change that does not affect mass, balance, structure strength, reliability, operational characteristics, noise, fuel venting, exhaust emissions, or any other characteristics affecting airworthiness.
What is a major change
All other changes not listed under minor changes
Who can apply for approval of a major change
Only your type certificate holder
Who approves minor changes in type design
Approved Design organisation
The agency
Who is a supplemental type certificate issued by
The NAA
What is a supplementary type certificate
If an organisation receives approval to design a modification to an aircraft for which it is not the type certificate holder , then it becomes a supplementary type certificate holder
Can you transfer a supplementary type certificate
Can only be transferred to a person that is able to undertake the obligations has has demonstrated its ability for design organisation approval
How long does a supplementary type certificate last
Unlimited time as long as the holder remains in compliance and the certificate is not surrendered or revoked
What does the holder of the supplementary type certificate need to produce
Shall produce, maintain and update mater copies of variation in the manual
Who can apply for a certificate of airworthiness
The person/organisation to whom an aircraft is registered to can apply for an airworthiness certificate
What language should be used in manuals, placards, instrument markings and other information
Shall be one or more of the official languages of the European Union
What happens to the certificate of airworthiness if the ownership of the aircraft changes
If it remains on the same register (same country) the CofA remains with the aircraft
How long is the certificate of airworthiness valid for
Unlimited duration
What is the certificate of airworthiness
Is the international recognised document certifying an aircraft suitability to enter service
How many aircrafts is the certificate of airworthiness issued to
Issued to an individual aircraft
When is the certificate of airworthiness valid
Only valid if the aircraft has been maintained in accordance with the maintenance schedule and any action deemed essential by the NAA for continued airworthiness has been carried out
Can orphan aircrafts by issued a certificate of airworthiness
No
How can the aircraft still operate if it becomes an orphaned aircraft
Can only continue to operate under a restricted type certificate or a permit to fly
When does an aircraft become orphaned
The legal person holding the TC ceased to exist
The TC holder no longer complies with his regulatory obligation
What EASA from do you used to apply for a certificate of airworthiness

Does the certificate of airworthiness need to be carried on board during flights
Yes
What will an EASA aircraft fly under if they do not qualify for a airworthiness certificate or a restricted airworthiness certificate
A permit to fly
What are the 4 elements that may be required as part of the process that leads to the issue of an EASA permit to fly
Application for approval for flight condition
Application for permit to fly
Approval of the flight condition
Issue of the EASA permit to fly
When is a permit to fly issued to an aircraft
When the aircraft do not meet applicable airworthiness requirements but are capable to safe flight under defined conditions
Who can apply for a permit to fly
Any authorised person
What should an application for a permit to flight include
Purpose of the flight
Why the aircraft does not comply with the airworthiness requirement
The approved flight conditions
Who shall the approval of flight condition be done by when related to safety
The agency (EASA)
Approved design organisation
Who approves the approval of flight condition when it is not related to safety
The competent authority (NAA)
Approved organisation that can issue the permit to fly
A copy of the permit to fly that is not issued by the competent authority should be submitted to the competent authority is how long
No later than 3 days
Is a permit to fly transferable
A permit to fly is not transferable, unless the aircraft stays in the same reg and an agreement with the competent authority (so yes it is transferable the notes are shit!!!!)
