When applying for approval of a type design of any aircraft product, the applicant should submit the application form (See Attachment 3) to CAA for approval. An applicant is entitled to a type certificate (See Attachment 4) for an aircraft product if his/her application is approved by CAA.
An application for an aircraft type certificate must be accompanied by a three-view drawing of that aircraft and available preliminary basic data. An application for an aircraft engine type certificate must be accompanied by a description of the engine design features, the engine operating characteristics, and the proposed engine operating limitations.

• Attachment 3 APPLICATION FOR TYPE CERTIFICATE, PRODUCTION CERTIFICATE, OR SUPPLEMENTAL TYPE CERTIFICATE.odt
• Attachment 4 TYPE CERTIFICATE.odt

An applicant for a type certificate must show that the aircraft product concerned meets the applicable requirements that are effective on the date of application for that certificate except the noise, fuel venting and exhaust emission requirements that have been prescribed in other existing regulations.
An application for type certification of transport category aircraft is effective for five years, and an application for any other type certificate is effective for three years, unless an applicant shows at the time of application that his/her product requires a longer period of time for design, development, and testing, and the CAA approves a longer period.

Each person who proposes to change a type certified product must apply for a new type certificate in accordance with Article 7, if CAA finds that the proposed change in design, power, thrust, weight, engine rating limitation or speed limitation is so extensive that a substantially complete investigation of compliance with the applicable regulations is required.

Each applicant must allow CAA to make any inspection and, upon request by CAA, make any inspection, flight and ground test necessary to determine compliance with the applicable requirements. Each applicant must carry on all necessary inspections and tests necessary to ensure that--
5) The product concerned complies with the applicable airworthiness, aircraft noise, fuel venting, and exhaust emission requirements;
6) Materials and products conform to the specifications in the type design;
7) Parts of the products conform to the drawings in the type design; and
8) The manufacturing processes, construction and assembly conform to those specified in the type design.
Except as approved by CAA, the applicant should submit to CAA a statement, certifying that the requirements stipulated in subparagraph (2)~(4) of the first paragraph of this Article have been complied with, prior to his/her submission to CAA for inspection or conduct any flight test or ground test requested by CAA,
Except as approved by CAA, no change may be made to an aircraft product between the time that compliance with subparagraph (2)~(4) of the first paragraph of this Article is shown for that aircraft product and the time that it is presented to the CAA for test.
The type design, as cited in the first paragraph of this Article, consists of
1) The drawings and specifications, and a listing of those drawings and specifications, necessary to define the configuration and the design features of the product shown to comply with the requirements applicable to the product;
2) Information on dimensions, materials, and processes necessary to define the structural strength of the product;
3) The Airworthiness Limitations section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness as required by applicable airworthiness standards;
4) Any other data necessary to allow, by comparison, the determination of the airworthiness, noise characteristics, fuel venting, and exhaust emissions (where applicable) of later products of the same type.

When performing the flight tests as required in Article 10 of the regulations herein, each applicant must abide by the requirement enclosed in Attachment 5.

• Attachment 5 Certification Flight Test.ODT

Each applicant for a utility, acrobatic, commuter or transport category aircraft type certificate must provide a person holding an appropriate pilot certificate who has undertaken sufficient training to make the flight tests required by the regulations herein.

Each applicant for a utility, acrobatic, commuter, or transport category aircraft type certificate must submit a report to CAA showing computations and tests that are required--
1) In the connection with the calibration of instruments used for test purposes and;
2) In the correction of test results to standard atmospheric conditions.
CAA may require the applicant to conduct any flight test that it finds necessary to check the accuracy of the report submitted under the first paragraph of this Article.

An applicant is entitled to a type certificate for an aircraft product, if CAA determines that an application of type certificate submitted in accordance with Article 7 of the regulations herein fulfills the followings:
1) The applicant has submitted the type design, test reports, and computations necessary to show that the product to be certificated meets the applicable airworthiness, aircraft noise, fuel venting, and exhaust emission requirements and any other applicable airworthiness provisions;
2) The type design complies with--
a) The applicable airworthiness requirements and that any airworthiness provisions not complied with are compensated for by factors that has been approved by CAA to provide an equivalent level of safety and;
b) Other applicable noise, fuel venting, and emissions requirements, if exist;
3) No feature or characteristic makes it unsafe exists.

For foreign aviation products that are certified by the cognizant Aviation Authorities to be imported for civil aviation operation, the holder of the type certificate shall apply to CAA for a type validation certificate (VTC, see Attachment 7) in accordance with type validation procedure (See Attachment 6) unless an arrangement between CAA and the foreign authority (ies) involved is otherwise established.

• Attachment 6 Procedure for Validating Imported Aircraft Products.odt
• Attachment 7 TYPE VALIDATION CERTIFICATE.odt

When petitioning for transfer of type certificate, the grantor shall provide CAA both the original type certificate and the transferring agreement. A revised type certificate will be issued to the grantee when the said petition is approved by CAA.

The holder of a type certificate for an aircraft may apply to CAA for—
1) Production Certificate per Chapter 5 of the regulations herein;
2) Airworthiness certificates per Chapter 6 of the regulations herein;
3) Approval of replacement parts for that product.
In the case of aircraft engines, or propellers, the holder of a type certificate may apply to CAA for approval for installation on certificated aircraft.

The holder of a type certificate for an aircraft product shall, in a timely manner, furnish the complete Instructions for Continued Airworthiness and its amendments, as specified in the applicable airworthiness standards, to CAA and all owners of the aircraft product involved.
The holder of a type certificate for an aircraft shall establish the maintenance program which includes a corrosion prevention program, to ensure the structural integrity of that aircraft.
