No. 05-05/2014-AED Subject: Requirements for validation of Type Certificate (TC) and Restricted Type Certificate (RTC) of Aeronautical Products (Aircraft, engine and propeller) 1. Introduction: Rule 49B of ‘the Aircraft Rules,1937’ empowers Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to validate Type Certificate (TC) and Restricted Type Certificate (RTC) for aeronautical products, designed/ manufactured and type certified by the Certificating Authority (CA) of another country. This part of the Civil Aviation Requirements lays down the procedure and requirements for validation of TC and RTC, and also lays down the roles and responsibilities of the Validating Authority (VA) and Certificating Authority (CA) for validation activities and post-validation activities. This Civil Aviation Requirement is issued under the provisions of Rule 3(4C), Rule 49B read in conjunction with Rule 133A of the Aircraft Rules, 1937. 2. Definitions and acronyms: a) Aeronautical product means any civil aircraft, aircraft engine and propeller; b) BASA-IPA means Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement- Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness; c) CA means Certificating Authority, Civil Aviation Authority of issuance of TC/ RTC; d) VA means Validating Authority i.e. DGCA, India. 3. Applicability 3.1 DGCA shall validate the TC/ RTC of an aeronautical product, when: (a) the airworthiness codes of the CAA of a Contracting State are not harmonized with that of FAA/ EASA; or Rev. 1, XX XXX XXXX 1CIVIL AVIATION REQUIREMENTS SECTION 6 SERIES ‘A’ PART I XX XXX XXXX (b) an Indian organization intends to manufacture an aeronautical product in India under license agreement with the licensor that is type certificated by the CAA of other Contracting State; or (c) a design organization intends to integrate an aeronautical product viz. aircraft engine and/or propeller, certified by CAA of any Contracting State, on an aircraft for which application of TC/ RTC has been submitted to DGCA. 3.2 When the TC/RTC of an aeronautical product for which the airworthiness codes of the CAA of a Contracting State are in harmony with that of FAA/ EASA, DGCA shall consider acceptance of the TC/RTC as per CAR Section 6 Series ‘A’ Part II instead of validation. 4. Requirements 4.1 Type validation of an aeronautical product shall require Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement-Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness (BASA-IPA) or Working Arrangement or Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between DGCA and CAA of the State of Design. Such arrangements/agreements shall define roles and responsibilities of VA and CA including post-type validation activities. 4.2 The application shall be forwarded to DGCA through the Civil Aviation Authority of the State of Design. 4.3 The applicant shall furnish the requisite information in the appropriate Annexure as given in this CAR, to the Director, Aircraft Engineering Directorate (AED), DGCA, Opposite Safdarjung Airport, New Delhi 110003, along with requisite fees as per Rule 62 of the Aircraft Rules, 1937. a) Annexure I - For validation of Type Certificate/ Restricted Type Certificate of Airplane b) Annexure II - For validation of Type Certificate/ Restricted Type Certificate of Rotorcraft c) Annexure III - For validation of Type Certificate of Engine d) Annexure IV - For validation of Type Certificate of Propeller Note: 1. All certificates and documents issued by the CAA should be in English language only. 2. Type validation of aeronautical product by AED of DGCA shall be from design view point only. 4.4 DGCA at its discretion, may ask any additional information/documentation/ clarification from the TC/ RTC holder as and when required. 4.5 Special conditions may be imposed on foreign TC/ RTC by DGCA in specific cases for safe operation of the aeronautical product in India. 4.6 The applicant shall arrange familiarization programme of adequate duration for DGCA (AED) officials, at their facility. Rev. 1, XX XXX XXXX 2CIVIL AVIATION REQUIREMENTS SECTION 6 SERIES ‘A’ PART I XX XXX XXXX 4.7 Service experience change: 4.7.1 Where the DGCA finds that an unsafe condition exists with respect to a design feature or characteristic of the validated aeronautical product, the Director General may issue necessary instruction specifying conditions and limitations including inspections for continued airworthiness or may altogether prohibit the use of the same till the unsafe conditions are corrected. 4.7.2 When design changes are considered necessary, the holder of the TC/ RTC shall submit appropriate design changes for approval of the DGCA. In addition, the TC/ RTC holder/CAA of the State of Design shall immediately inform the DGCA regarding information related to (a) change in design of the validated product, (b) changes/revisions to all applicable manuals, (c) continued airworthiness related information, (d) any other information deemed necessary from safety point of view. 4.8 Exceptions: Notwithstanding the above requirements, DGCA may exempt/ waive/ reject any of the requirements spelt in this CAR, provided there is a genuine justification for doing so. 5. Validation of Type Certificate/ Restricted Type Certificate: If the DGCA is satisfied that the aeronautical product conforms to the relevant acceptable standards in respect of design and performance (with such exceptions as may be permitted), the Director General may validate the TC/ RTC issued by the CAA of the State of Design in respect of the aeronautical product. 6. Cancellation, suspension or endorsement of validated TC/ RTC: If at any point of time, DGCA finds that there is a reasonable ground to indicate that the safety of the aircraft is imperiled because of an unsafe condition developed in the product, the Director General may cancel, suspend or endorse the validated TC/ RTC or may incorporate any modification till the validated type certificate remains in force.
