Type Certificate
A Type Certificate (TC) is the design
approval for a new (or new model)
aircraft, engine or propeller

It certifies that the product’s design


complies with the DGCA airworthiness
standards

18 Erlana Ichsan H
DGCA - April 2014
Type Certificate Validation
A type certificate may be issued for a product that is manufactured in a
foreign country if it is to be imported into the Republic of Indonesia if –

• The country in which the product was manufactured certifies that the
product has been examined, tested, and found to meet -
▪ The applicable aircraft noise, fuel venting and exhaust emissions
requirements
▪ The applicable airworthiness requirements

• The applicant has submitted the technical data, concerning aircraft noise
and airworthiness

• The manuals, placards, listings, and instrument markings required by the


applicable airworthiness (and noise, where applicable) requirements are
presented in the English language

PRODUCTION CERTIFICATION

is certification of an ORGANIZATION to reproduce /


manufacture a design certificated product or part.

The certificate issued to the organization is called as :


PRODUCTION CERTIFICATE (PC) or Production Under
Type Certificate Only or Approved Production Inspection
System (APIS) for they who manufacture a PRODUCT
(aircraft, engine or propeller) ;

TECHNICAL STANDARD ORDER AUTHORIZATION (TSOA)


for they who manufacture a TSO PART ; and

PART MANUFACTURER APPROVAL (PMA) for they who


manufacture a replacement part.
Erlana Ichsan H

Production Certificate
Eligibility
Any person may apply for a production certificate if he holds, for the product
concerned, a -
(1) Current type certificate;
(2) Right to the benefits of that type certificate under a licensing agreement; or
(3) Supplemental type certificate.

Quality Control
The applicant must show that he has established and can maintain a
quality control system for any product, for which he requests a production
certificate, so that each article will meet the design provisions of the
pertinent type certificate.

24 Erlana Ichsan H
DGCA - April 2014
Production Certificate
 A Production Certificate (PC)
is the approval of the quality
control system controlling
production of an aviation
product

 The purpose of a PC is to
make sure that every product
produced conforms to its
approved type design

25 Erlana Ichsan H
DGCA - April 2014

( continued )
 A PC covers :
➢A new aircraft, engine or propeller
➢Modified or redesigned aircraft or component
➢Parts
 A PC allows the applicant to manufacture the
product for sale without having DGCA

Changes in Type Certificate

27 Erlana Ichsan H
DGCA - April 2014
Design Change Classification
Changes in type design are classified as
minor and major.

A "minor change" is one that has NO


appreciable effect on the weight, balance,
structural strength, reliability, operational
characteristics, or other characteristics
affecting the airworthiness of the
product.
All other changes are "major changes"

Supplemental Type Certificate
Issue of STC
A STC consists of –
1. The approval by the Director General
of a change in the type design of the
product; and
2. The type certificate previously issued
for the product.

Difference Amended TC and STC:


 The main difference is who applies :
1. Only a TC holder can apply for
an amended TC
2. Everyone else must apply for
an STC
30 Erlana Ichsan H

Supplemental Type Certificate
Privileges
The holder of a supplemental type certificate may –
a. In the case of aircraft, obtain airworthiness
certificates;
b. In the case of other products, obtain approval for
installation on certificated aircraft; and
c. Obtain a production certificate for the change in the
type design that was approved by that
supplemental type certificate.

Airworthiness Certification

37 Erlana Ichsan H
DGCA - April 2014
What is an “airworthy”?
• Airworthy means Conform to type
design and condition for safe operation.
DEFINITION:
Certify as airworthy (to):

• To certify that an aircraft or parts thereof


comply with current airworthiness
requirements after maintenance has been
performed on the aircraft or parts thereof.
Definition:
Sign a maintenance release (to)
• To certify that maintenance work has been completed
satisfactorily in accordance with the applicable Standards of
airworthiness, by issuing the maintenance release referred to
in Annex 6.
• Aviation Dictionary, McGraw-Hill:_______________
RTS mean the completion of all applicable maintenance
records and forms after maintenance has been performed on
an aircraft that will allow the aircraft to be flown legally.

AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATION
 Unlike design and production approval
airworthiness certification is approval of an
individual aircraft
 A standard airworthiness certificate means
that an aircraft :
1. Conforms to an approved type design
2. Is in “condition for safe operation”

41 Erlana Ichsan H
DGCA - April 2014
Airworthiness Certification
(continued)

 Each civil aircraft must have an airworthiness


certificate before flight
 An aircraft will need an airworthiness
certificate when it is :
➢ New - ready for operation
➢ Not yet completed or certified, but must be
flown (flight tested)
➢ Damaged, but must be flown
➢ Brought in from another country
C OF A CLASSIFICATION AND CATEGORY

- Standard Classification. A Standard Airworthiness Certificate


may be issued for an aircraft that fully complies with all the
requirements applicable to: Normal, Utility, Acrobatic,
Transport, Commuter, Glider, and Balloon categories.

and Commuter Category Aeroplanes
– Part 25 Airworthiness Standards : Transport Category

2. Experimental. A Special Airworthiness Certificate may be issued for
experimental purposes for any category aircraft, including an amateur-built.
Research and development, Showing compliance with regulations,
Crew training, Exhibition, Air racing, Market surveys, and Operating

aircraft that may not currently meet applicable airworthiness requirements,
but is capable of safe flight, and meets the requirements of CASR sections
21.197 and 21.199.
Flying the aircraft to a base where repairs, alterations, or
maintenance are to be performed, or to a point of storage,
Delivering or exporting the aircraft, Production flight testing new
production aircraft, Evacuating aircraft from areas of impending
danger, Conducting customer demonstration flights in new
production aircraft that have satisfactorily completed production
flight tests.

Certifications Procedures For Products &
Parts Technical Standard Order (TSO)
• TSOs are divided into categories and identify the testing required to
cover a wide range of environmental conditions such as heat,
temperature, altitude, vibration, etc.
• If a TSO is available that is suitable for a part, a manufacturer will
typically test the part in a FAA-approved laboratory to the
requirements of the TSO.
• If the part successfully passes all the tests, then the manufacturer
will receive a letter from the FAA stating the part is approved per
the TSO.
• This TSO approval letter means the part is eligible for installation in
any aircraft via an STC or TC as long as the operating environment
of the part in the aircraft is within the TSO criteria.

PMA Part
