relative to the risk of wide interpretation, the wording relative to the third category has been tightened between

2 CONTENT OF FUNCTION AND RELIABILITY TESTING

The testing should cover both routine operations and some simulation of abnormal conditions. The details of the
programme should be agreed by the Authority prior to commencement of testing.
It may be possible to combine this testing with any required to show compliance with the applicable airworthiness
requirements. This will be agreed on a case by case basis by the Authority.
Where possible, testing conditions should be defined with the co-operationof an operator.
A substantial proportion of the flying should be on a single aircraft. The flying should be carried out to a
continuous schedule on an aircraft that is very close to the final certification standard, operated as though it were
in service and should include a range of representative ambient operating conditions and airfields.]

e 1. PURPOSE
FO
N
IO
This advisoty circular joint(ACJ) provides guidance for establishing the certification basis for changed
IN
aeronautical products including identifying the conditions under which it will be necessary to apply for a new type
certificate. JAR 21.19 identifies the conditions under which an applicant for a design change is required to make
RA
application for a new type certificate. JAR 21.101 requires an applicant for a change to a type certificate to meet
RM
the latest regulations except where the change is not significant, where areas of the product are not affected,
where it would be impractical, or where it would not contribute materially to the level of safety of the changed
PA
product. This ACJ explains the criteria of JAR 21.19 and 21.101, and their application.
FO
This ACJ and the methods illustrated in the appendices are guidance material. Each project must be judged on
LO
its own merits when making the final determination of impracticality or not contributing materially to the level of
IN
safety, as well as determination of whether the change is not significant and the areas of the product not affected.
SÓ
When establishing the applicable requirements for a changed product it is appropriate to assess the service
R
history of a product as well as the airworthiness requirements that have been added or amended since the
FO
erá
original certification basis of the product. This procedure is equally applicable to changes for any type certificated
product, including a supplemental type certificate, a change to a type certificate. or a change to a supplemental

4. BACKGROUND.
IO
IN
JAR 21.19 specifies changes that require a new type certificate. If a new type certificate is required, JAR 21.17
specifies the applicable certificationbasis for the changed product.
RA
When an application for a new type certificate is not required by JAR 21.19, JAR 21.101 specifies the applicable
RM
certification basis for the changed product. These paragraphs as previously written have led to varying
PA
interpretations of when a new type certificate or latest requirements would be required. JAR 21.101, as
FO
amended by NPA 21-7, requires changed products to comply with the requirements in effect on the date of
application for the change in all areas affected by the change, unless the Authority accepts the applicant's
LO
0
IN
justificationfor using earlier requirements.

SÓ
5. EXTENT OF CHANGE.
R
FO
Design changes inevitably vary in both complexity and magnitude so it is necessaty for each proposed changed
erá
product to be evaluated on a case by case basis, taking into account previous changes and their certification
ls
bases. Incremental updates for individual changes may be modest, however the cumulative effect can be
be
equivalent to that of a significant or substantial design change.

pe
ill
pa
In this context, the following factors need to be considered:

yw
en
(1) the extent of changes to the requirements from those of the original certification basis, and
op
pia
(2) the extent to which the latest requirements have been addressed for previous design changes.
rc
Co
pe
The intent is to ensure that:

Pa
(1) when a product is developed, step by step, through a series of design changes that are not substantial,
that it achieves a level of safety similar to that of a comparable new product, and

(2) when a significant design change is developed, step by step, through a series of design changes that
are not significant, that it achieves a level of safety similar to that of a comparable single significant
product design change.
6. CHANGES REQUIRING A NEW TYPE CERTIFICATE (JAR 21.191.
JAR 21.19 requires that an applicant obtain a new type certificate for a changed product if the change in design,
Power, thrust, or weight is so extensive that a substantially complete investigation of compliance with the
applicable requirements is required. A new type certificate could be required for either an extensive change to a
Previously type certificated product or for a new design derived through a series of design changes from a
Previously type certificatedproduct. The need to require a new type certificate may be obvious when the change
is first considered or may require a more extensive evaluation through application of JAR 21.101.
0
A "substantially complete investigation" of compliance is required when most of the existing substantiation is not
applicable to the changed product. This applies to the scope of the investigation required to establish]
Amendment 3 2-D-2 01.11.01

SECTION 2 JAR-21
[ compliance. For example, an extensive change may negate the validity of extrapolation from, or use of, certain
analysis or tests that were used to show compliance of the original or previously type certificated product.
The question of whether a change is extensive enough to warrant a new type certificate must be addressed at the
beginning of the process. However, if at any point, while developing the certification basis, it becomes clear that
the proposed change is a substantial change, the process ceases to be an amendment process under JAR-21
subpart D and becomes a new type Certificate process under JAR-21 subpart B.
If it is not initially clear that a new type certificate is required, the examples in Appendix 1 to ACJ 21.lo1 and the
flowchart in Figure 1 may help to clarify whether or not one is needed.

LY
AC
products. It should be noted that minor changes, as defined in JAR 21.91, are considered to have no appreciable
effect on the airworthiness of the product and would therefore allow compliance to be shown with the existing
AT RM
certification basis. The JAA has determined that minor changes as defined by JAR 21.91 are not significant
changes because they have "no appreciable effect" on airworthiness. Therefore compliance can be shown to the
regulations incorporated by reference in the existing certification basis.
FO
N
Obiective of JAR 21.101 tal. The intent of JAR 21.101(a) is to enhance safety through the incorporation
IO
7.2
IN
of the latest requirements in the certification basis of changed products. JAR 21.lo1(a) requires that any changed
type certificated product must comply with the latest requirements . JAR 21.101(a) allows for the exceptions
RA
identified in JAR 21.101(b) and (c) and the application of Special Conditions in accordance with JAR 21.101(d).
RM
The certification basis should not be dependent on whether the type certificate holder or an applicant for a
supplemental type certificate is originating the change.
PA
FO
7.3 Obiective of JAR 21.101 (bl. JAR 21.101(b) and (c) provide for exceptions from the requirement of JAR
21.lo1(a) to meet the latest requirements for design changes.
LO
IN
7.3.1 General. JAR 21.101(b) identifies conditions under which an applicant may show that the
SÓ
changed product complies with an earlier amendment level or with the existing certification basis and,
R
therefore, would not be required to comply with latest requirements. The earlier amendment level with
FO
which the applicant intends to show compliance may not precede the corresponding requirements in the
erá
existing certification basis . An applicant may elect to show compliance with an earlier amendment level
ls
or with the existing certification basis for changes that are not significant, areas not affected by the
be
pe
change, and areas affected by the change for which compliance with the latest requirements would not
contribute materially to the level of safety or would be impractical. It is incumbent on the applicant to
ill
pa
provide sufficient substantiation to allow the Authority to determine the appropriate Certification basis.
yw
en
Note: The Authority may detemine that a certain design change provides a large increase in the level of safety but that the
op
pia
effort in demonstrating that 21.101(b) applies might prove prohibitive. In such cases, the Authotity can find, without the need for
substantiation by the applicant,that one of the exceptions in 21.101(b) applies.

pe
7.3.2 Chanaes that are Not Sianificant. JAR 21.101 4bNll. Not all changes are significant changes.
Pa
Those changes not considered to be significant may be certificated in accordance with earlier
requirements, which in this case would not precede those incorporated by reference in the type
certificate. Included in this category are changes that do not modify the general characteristics of the

product in that: (1) The general configuration and the principles of construction are retained; and (2)
The assumptions used for certification of the basic product remain valid and the results can be
extrapolated to cover the changed product. Minor changes as defined in JAR 21.91 are considered not
significant changes because they have "no appreciable effect" on the airworthiness. Appendix 1 to ACJ
21.101 provides examples of changes that are not significant.
NOTE: The word "assumptions" in JAR 21.lo1 bears a meaning different from JAR E-30.
7.3.3 Unaffected Areas, JAR 21.101 lbM21. It is important that the effects of the change are properly
assessed. In areas not affected by the change the applicant may use earlier requirements. The
characteristics affected by the change are not only physical changes. The intent is to encompass all
aspects where there is a need for re-evaluation, that is where the substantiation presented for the
product being changed should be reviewed, updated or re-written. ]

[a) Phvsical aspects. The physical aspects include, but are not limited to, structures, systems,
equipment, components and appliances (physical aspects can cover both "hardware" and "software").
When evaluating the physical aspects, it is necessary to make a distinction between the principal
changes such as a fuselage plug and the secondary changes such as lengthening of the various
aeroplane circuits as a result of the fuselage plug (this would also apply to additional seats, overhead
bins, etc,). These secondary changes may normally be evaluated similarly to the unaffected areas;
however, care should be taken to ensure that affected areas are not overlooked. For example, the
installation of significantly more powerful engines may mean that the aircraft rotor burst model has
changed and should be re-substantiated. Therefore, the latest requirements relative to this issue would
be considered.
ON ÓN
b) Effects on characteristics. The less obvious aspect of the word "areas" covers general
characteristics of the aeroplane such as performance, handling qualities, emergency provisions, fire
I
protection, structural integrity, aeroelastic characteristics, crashworthiness, etc. These characteristics
LY
AC
may be affected by a change. For example, adding a fuselage plug could significantly affect
performance and handling qualities.

is acceptable to show that demonstrating compliance with a particular amendment level of a requirement
FO

would not contribute materially to the level of safety or would be impractical.
IO
IN
a) Not contributina materiallv to the level of safety. Compliance with the latest requirements could be
considered "not to contribute materially to the level of safety" if the change to type design and/or relevant
RA
experience provides a level of safety comparable to that provided by the latest requirements, or if
RM
compliance may compromise the existing level of safety to that particular changed product. It is
incumbent on the applicant to provide sufficient substantiation to allow the Authority to make this
PA
determination. This exception could be applicable in the situations described in the paragraphs below.
FO
1 Desian. This provision gives the opportunity to consider the consistency of design. For example,
LO
IN
when a small fuselage plug is added, additionat seats and overhead bins are likely to be installed, and
the lower cargo hold extended. These additional seats, bins, extended lower deck cargo and structural
SÓ
plug may be identical to the existing parts. Literally applying the latest requirements only to the changed
R
parts may not contribute materially to the level of safety, as the entire design as modified may not
FO
erá
necessarily be any safer than the original design. It also may be inappropriate to require compliance to
the latest requirements for the entire fuselage, seats, bins, doors and cargo holds. For this reason,
ls
compliance of the new fuselage structure, seats, bins and cargo hold area with the requirements in
be
pe
effect when the original fuselage, seats, bins and cargo hold area were certified may be acceptable.
ill
pa
yw
However, the extent of the fuselage change may be large relative to the original structure, seats, bins,
en
doors and cargo compartment certified, andlor the change may require essentially a new compliance
op
pia
substantiation that is comparable with that required for a new model aeroplane. Here, it would be
expected that the certification basis would encompass the requirements in effect at the date of
rc
Co
application for the entire fuselage, seats, bins, doors and cargo hold.
pe
Pa
In both examples above, it would be incumbent upon the applicant to show that compliance with the
latest requirements does not materially contribute to the level of safety.

2 Service experience. This provision permits the use of relevant service experience to suppoit the
use of the existing certification basis, where compliance to the latest requirements would not contribute
materially to the level of safety. Appendix 3 to ACJ 21.101 provides additional guidance on the use of
service experience, along with examples.
3 Other excedions. Compliance with amended requirements would not be required where the
amendment is of an administrative nature and has been made only to correct errors or omissions,
consolidate text, clarify an existing requirement, or for whatever reason other than addressing a safety
issue.
b) Imtmctical. Compliance with the latest requirements may be considered impractical if the applicant
can substantiate that it would result in additional resource requirements that are not commensurate with
the safety benefits. The additional resource requirements could include those arising from design
changes required for compliance and the effort required to demonstrate compliance, but would not
include resource expenditures for prior product changes. ]
Amendment 3 2-D-4 01.1 1.01

SECTION 2 JAR-21
[ Substantiating data and analyses must support an applicant’s position that compliance is impractical,
and the Authority must agree with this position. In evaluating an applicant’s position and substantiating
data regarding practicality the Authority may consider other factors (e.9. the costs and safety benefits for
a comparable new design).
A review of transport category projects showed that in certain cases where an earlier amendment to
applicable requirements was allowed, design changes were made to nearly comply with the latest
amendments. In these cases the applicant successfully argued that full compliance would require a
substantial increase in the outlay of resources with a very small increase in the level of safety. These
cases reflect an appropriate application of “impracticality“ to a changed product.
ON ÓN
Determination of being impractical would not be necessary when the applicant can show that
compliance with the latest applicable requirements for the extent of the change does not contribute
I
materially to the level of safety. Therefore, arguments that a product design change would be
LY
AC
impractical would be used, in most cases, where compliance with the latest requirements would
contribute materially to the level of safety, but that this contribution may not be commensurate with the
AT RM
associated resource expenditures.

1. INTRODUCVON
This Appendix is provided to assist in deciding what might be regarded as a substantial, significant or not
significant product change as defined in the main text of this Advisory Circular Joint.
Step 1: ldentiiy the principal change(s)
A principal change is a summary description of the "aeroplane level" change, e.g. increase to gross weight,
ON ÓN
fuselage stretch, new wing, APU, etc. The product may be concurrentiy modified by a number of principal
changes. Each principal change must be identified to accurately assess the effect of the changes.

Step 2:
These are the specifics of the design change. The level of detail required is determined by each affected
AT RM
requirement. The intent is to provide sufficient detail to assess if a change is significant . A detail for the principal
change of increased gross weight, for example, may be a redesigned floor structure.

Step 3: Identify detail effects
IO
IN
As in Step 2, the level of detail required is determined by each affected requirement. These effects describe
"what happens" as a result of the detail changes in step 2. For example an effect of increased gross weight may
be redirected load paths or improved floor load capacity.

amendment levels of JAR 25.571 and 25.307 are acceptable.
Scenario 6. Assumptions of the existing aeroplane concerning load paths and damage tolerance
capability are no longer valid. The change is significant. Therefore, the latest

The terms "normally" and "typically" are used to indicate that judgement is required for particular cases. The
following examples are primarily for large aeroplanes (JAR-25). The following are provided as examples only and
the determination of significance will depend on the actual project application. It is recognised that future
AT RM

ls
performance from the type design would normally be significant.

c) Engines and Propellers: When there is a change in the number of engines on an aeroplane, a new TC is
yw
likely to be required. However, a new type certificate may not be required for a change to replace reciprocating
en
engines with the same number of turbo-propeller engines.

op
pia
d) Materials: A change in the type of material, such as composites in place of metal, for primary structure would
rc
Co
normally be assessed as a significant change. Likewise, a design change that introduces novel or unusual
pe
methods of construction for primary structure, would normally be considered a significant change.
Pa
e) Weight: A change to the maximum take-off weight of less than 5% is not likely to be regarded as a significant
change.

f) Power or Thrust: A change in the rated power or thrust of less than 5% is not likely to be regarded as
significant.
i) Ifthe change involves fewer engines, the change in power or thrust at a particular engine location
should also be considered as well as the change in total power or thrust.
ii) Ifthe additional power is used to enhance high altitude or hot day performance then the change is
not likely to be significant.
g) Systems: As a general guide, classification as subctantiaVsignificanünotsignificant will depend upon:

- aeroplane capability enhancement
- new technologies employed
Both hardware and software issues should be considered when determining whether a change is substantial,
significant, or not significant. ]

[ i) Flight Controls: A change in the flight control concept for an aircraft, for example to fly by wire
(FBW) and side-stick control, would in isolation normally be regarded as a significant change. A
design change that alters the kinematics, dynamics, and appreciably alters the configuration of the
flight controls system could be substantial.
ii) Avionics: Examples of individual significant avionics changes are:

- A major flight deck update
- Introduction of autoland
Items not considered significant might include:

maximum passenger capacity demonstrated for the aircraft type. A relocation of a galley may not be a significant
change.

i) Flight Crew: A change in flight crew numbers which necessitates a complete cockpa rearrangement and/or
an increase in pilot workload would be a significant change.

JAR-21 SECTION 2
[ Appendix 2 to ACJ 21.101

PROCEDURE FOR EVALUATING IMPRACTlCALlN OF APPLYING LATEST REQUIREMENTS TO A
CHANGED PRODUCT
1. INTRODUCTlON
This Appendix provides procedural guidance that can be utilised as a starting point to determine the practicalityof
applying a requirement at a particular amendment level to a changed product . This guidance can be used for
evaluating the safety benefit and resource impact of implementing the latest airworthiness requirements in the
certification basis of a changed product. The procedure is generic in nature and describes the steps and
necessary inputs that any applicant can utilise on any project to develop a position.
ON ÓN
The procedure is intended to be used, along with good engineering judgement, to evaluate the relative merits of a
I
changed product complying with the latest regulations.
LY
AC
This procedure provides a means, but not the only means, for an applicant to present its position in regards to
AT RM
impracticality.
The certification basis for a change to a product will not be at an amendment level earlier than the existing
FO
N
certification basis. Therefore, when detemining the impracticality of applying a requirement at the latest
amendment level only the increase in safety benefits and costs beyond compliance with the existing certification
IO
IN
basis should be considered.
The following are steps to determine the impracticality of applying a requirement at a particularamendment level.
RA
The firct step will be to identify the regulatory change being evaluated.
Step 1: Identify the Regulatory Change Being Evaluated

RM
PA
FO
In this step it will be necessary to document:

LO
The specific requirement (e.g., JAR 25.365),

IN
The amendment level of the existing certificationbasis for the requirement, and
The latest amendment level of the requirement.
SÓ
Step 2: Identify the Specific Hazard that the Requirement Addresses

FO
erá
Each requirement and requirement amendment is intended to address a hazard or hazards. In this step the
ls
specific hazard(s) is identified. This identification will allow for a comparison of the effectiveness of amendment
be
pe
levels of the regulation at addressing the hazard.

ill
pa
In many cases the hazard and the cause of the hazard will be obvious. When the hazard and its related cause
yw
en
are not immediately obvious it may be necessary to review the explanatory note and commenüresponse
document to the NPA. It may also be helpful to discuss the hazard with the NAA or Joint Team.
op
pia
rc
Step 3: Review the Consequences of the Hazard(s),

Co
pe
Once the hazard has been identified it is possible to identify the types of consequences that may occur because
Pa
of the presence of the hazard. More than one consequence can be attributed for the same hazard. Typical
examples of consequences would include but not be limited to:
Incidents where only injuries occurred,

Accidents where less than 10% of the passengers succumbed to their injuries,
Accidents where 10% or more passengers succumbed to their injuries, and
Accidents where a total hull loss occurred.
The explanatory note and commentlresponse document to the NPA may provide useful information regarding the
consequences of the hazard the requirement is intended to address.
Step 4: Identify the Historical and Predicted Frequency of each Consequence
Another input in detetmining impracticality is the historical record of the consequences of the hazard that led to a
requirement or an amendment to a requirement. From this data a frequency of Occurrence for the hazard can be
determined. It is important to recognise that the frequency of occurrence may be higher or lower in the future.
Therefore, it also is necessary to predict the frequency of future occurrences.
More than one consequence can be attributed for the same hazard. Therefore, when applicable, the combination
consequences and frequencies of those consequences should be considered together. ]
Of
Amendment 3 2-D-10 01.1 1.01

SECTION 2 JAR-21
Appendix 2 to ACJ 21 .lo1 (continued)
[The explanatory note and commenthesponce document to the NPA may provide useful information regarding
the frequency of occurrence.
Step 5: Determine How Effective Full Compliance with the Latest Amendment of the Requirement would be at
Addressing the Hazard
When each amendment is promulgated it is expected that compliance with the requirement would be completely
effective at addressing the associated hazard. It is expected that the hazard would be eliminated, avoided, of
dealt with. However, in a limited number of situations this may not be the case. It is also possible that earlier
amendment levels may have addressed the hazard but were not completely effective. Therefore, in comparing
the benefits of compliance with the existing certification basis to the latest amendment level it is useful to estimate
ON ÓN
the effectiveness of both amendment levels in dealing with the hazard.
I
It is recognised that the determination of levels of effectiveness is normally of a subjective nature. Therefore,
LY
AC
prudence should be exercised when making these determinations. In all cases it is necessaty to document the
assumptions and data that support the determination.
AT RM
The following five levels of effectiveness are provided as a guideline.
FO
1) Fully effective in all cases
N
Compliance with the requirement eliminates the hazard or provides a means to completely avoid the hazard.
IO
IN
2) Considerable potential for eliminating or avoiding the hazard
Compliance with the requirement eliminates the hazard or provides a means to completely avoid the hazard
RA
for all probable or likely cases. However It does not cover all situations or scenarios.
3) Adequately deals with the hazard

RM
PA
Compliance with the requirement eliminates the hazard or provides a means to completely avoid the hazard in
FO
many cases. However, the hazard is not eliminated or avoided in all probable or likely cases. Usually this
LO
action only addresses a significant pari of a larger or broader hazard.

IN
4) Hazard only partly addressed

SÓ
In some cases compliance with the requirement partly eliminates the hazard or does not completely avoid the
R
hazard. The hazard is not eliminated or avoided in all probable or likely cases. Usually this action only
FO
erá
addresses part of a hazard.

ls
5) Hazard only partly addressed but action has negative side effect
be
pe
Compliance with the requirement does not eliminate or avoid the hazard or may have negative safety side
ill
pa
effects. The action is of questionable benefit.

yw
en
Step 6: Determine Resource Costs and Cost Avoidance

op
pia
There is always a cost associated with complying with a requirement. This cost may range from minimal
rc
administrative efforts to the resource expenditures necessary to support full scale testing or the redesign of a
Co
pe
large portion of an aircraft. However, there are also potential cost savings from compliance with a requirement.
For example, compliance with a requirement may avoid aircraft damage or accidents and the associated costs to
Pa
the manufacturer for investigating accidents. Compliance with the latest amendment of a requirement may also
facilitate certificationof a product by a foreign aviation authority.

When determining the impracticality of applying a requirement at the latest amendment level only the increase in
costs, and safety benefits from Complying with the existing certificationbasis should be considered.
When evaluating the cost, it may be beneficial for the applicant to compare the increase in cost to comply with the
latest requirements to the cost to incorporate the same design feature in a new aeroplane. In many cases, an
estimate for the cost of incorporation in a new aeroplane is provided in the regulatory evaluation by the authority
that was presented when the corresponding authority regulation was first promulgated.
Examples of costs may include but are not limited to:

Costs
Labour: Work carried out in the design, fabrication, inspection, operation or maintenance of a product for the
purpose of incorporating or demonstrating compliance with a proposed action. Non-recurring labour
requirements, includingtraining should be considered. ]

Step 1: Identify The Regulatory Change Being Evaluated
The existing certificationbasis of the airplane that is being changed is part 25 prior to amendment 69.

Amendment 25-69 added the requirement that fuel tank access covers on transport category airplanes
be designed to minimize penetration by likely foreign objects, and be fire resistant.
Step 2: Identify the Specific Hazard that the Regulation Addresses
Fuel tank access covers have failed in service due to impact with high energy objects such as failed tire tread
material and engine debris following engine failures. In one accident, debris from the runway impacted a fuel tank
access cover, causing its failure and subsequent fire, which resulted in fatalities and loss of the airplane.
Amendment 25-69 will ensure that all access covers on all fuel tanks are designed or located to minimise
penetrationby likely foreign objects, and are fire resistant.

Step 1: Identify The Regulatory Change Being Evaluated

Pa
The existing certification basis of the airplane that is being changed includes 0 25.365 at amendment 25-54. The
initial release of 9 25.365 required that interior structure of passenger compartments be designed to withstand the

effects of a sudden release of pressure through an opening resulting from the failure or penetration of an external
door, window, or windshield panel, or from structural fatigue or penetration of the fuselage, unless shown to be
extremely remote.
Amendment 25-54 revised 8 25.365 to require that the interior structure be designed for an opening resulting from
penetration by a portion of an engine, an opening in any compartment of a size defined by 9 25.365(6)(2), or the
maximum opening caused by a failure not shown to be extremely improbable.
Amendment 25-71 extended the regulation to all pressurized compartments, not just passenger compartments,

feature under 9 21.21(b)(2).
Step 2: Identify the Specific Hazard that the Regulation Addresses
The hazard is a catastrophic structure andlor system failure produced by a sudden release of pressure through an
opening in any compartment in flight. This opening could be caused by an uncontained engine failure, an opening
of a prescribed size due to the inadvertent opening of an external door in flight, or by an opening caused by a ]

[failure not shown to be extremely improbable. The opening could be produced by an event that has yet to be
identified.
Step 3: Review the History of the Consequences of the Hazard(s)
Occurrences with injucies, less than 10%deaths, and more than 10% deaths
Step 4: Identifythe Historical and Predicted Frequency of Each Consequence

In 200 million departures of large jets,
2 occurrences with more than 10% deaths,

3) Adequately deals with the hazard

FO
Compliance with the original certification basis eliminates the hazard or provides a means to completely
avoid the hazard in many cases. However, the hazard is not eliminated or avoided in aU pmbable or likely

Design changes made to the proposed derivative airplane brings it nearly into compliance with $ 25.365

amendment 25-71. Analyses show that one interior partition would fail when subjected to the pressure differential
FO
defined by the latest regulation. However, its failure would not have an impact on continued safe flight and
erá
landing. This is because none of the critical or essential systems are affected by failure of this partition and its
ls
failure would not present a hazard to a crewmember. Design solutions were considered for this partition,
be
pe
including sttuctural reinforcement and additional venting area, but all were found to require substantial changes.
With this design the applicant believes that most of the safety benefits have been achievedl and that no
ill
pa
appreciable increase in safety would be achieved by complying fully with amendment 25-71.

Cost Avoidance:
Co
There were 4 accidents in 200 million departures. The applicant believes that it will manufacture more than 2000
pe
of these airplanes or derivatives of these airplanes. These airplanes would average 5 flights a day. Therefore,
Pa
statistically there will be accidents in the future if the hazard is not alleviated. Compliance will1 provide cost
benefits related to avoiding lawsuits, accident investigations and public relation costs.

There are cost savings associated with meeting a single certification basis for FAA and foreign regullations.
Cost:
For a newiy developed airplane there would be a significant increase in costs related to labor and capital to
comply with amendment 25-71 instead of the original Certification basis.
There would be a negligible increase in costs related to materials, operating costs, and revenue utility loss.
There would be savings in both labour and capital costs if compliance were shown to amendment 25-54instead
of amendment 25-71.
The design is in compliance with $25.365 amendment 25-54, and nearly in full compliance to amendment 25-71.
The design would adequately address the hazard at an acceptable cost. Therefore, based MI arguments of
impracticalitythe applicant proposes to comply with $25.365 amendment 25-54. ]

USE OF SERVICE EXPERIENCE IN ESTABLISHING THE CERTIFICATION BASIS FOR A CHANGED
PRODUCT
1. INTRODUCTION
JAR 21.lOl(b)(3) provides an opportunity to utilise earlier amendments if it can be substantiated that compliance
with the latest requirements would not contribute materially to the level of safety. Service experience may be
utilised to support the application of an earlier certification basis if the earlier certificationbasis in conjunction with
the applicable service experience and other compliance measures provides a level of safety comparable to that
provided by the latest requirements. It is incumbent on the applicant to provide sufficient substantiation to allow
ON ÓN
the Authority to make this determination. A statistical approach may be used, subject to the availability and
relevance of data, however sound engineering judgement must be used: For service history to be acceptable,

The APU fuel shut off valve and actuator are unchanged from those used on the current family of airplanes,

be acceptable. If one assumes a complete APU cycle, i.e. start up and shutdown for each flight, the number
of APU fuel shut off valve operations would be over 10' cycles, which demonstrates that the valve
op
pia
successfully meets its intended function and complies with the intent of the regulation. In addition, the
rc
Co
system design for the changed product incorporates features, which increase the level of functionality and
pe
safety.
Pa
d) A deSCnDtiOn of the desian feature and its intended function.
The fuel shut off valve, actuator design, and operation is essentially unchanged, with the system design

ensuring that the valve is monitored for proper cycling from closed to open at start initiation. If the valve is
not in the appropriate position (i.e. closed) then the APU start is terminated, an indication is displayed on the
flight deck and any further APU starts are prevented. Design improvements using the capability of the APU
Electronic Control Unit (ECU) have been incorporated in this proposed product change. These design
changes ensure that the fuel valve indication system will indicate failure of proper valve operation to the flight
crew, albeit the system does not indicate valve position as required by s.25.1141(f).
e) Data for the DrOdUCt pertinent to the reaulation.
An issue paper was coordinated which included data, or referenced reports, documenting relevant service
experience that has been compiled from incident reports, fleet flight hour/cycle data, and maintenance
records. The issue paper also discussed existing and proposed design details, failure modes, and analyses
showing to what extent the proposed airplane complies with the latest amendment of 525.1 141. Information
is presented to support the applicant's argument that compliance with the latest amendment would not
materially increase the level of safety. Comparative data pertaining to aircrafi of similar design and
constructionare also presented. ]

SECTION 2 JAR-21
[ 9 Conclusion drawina toaether the data and rationale.
The additional features incorporated in the APU fuel shut off valve will provide a significant increase in safety
to an existing design with satisfactory service experience. The applicant proposes that compliance with the
latest amendment would not materially increase the level of safety, and that compliance with s25.1141 at
amendment 25-11 would provide an acceptable level of safety for the proposed product change.]

Pa
The information to be provided is specified in Appendix A. Where this information is documented and integrated
in manuals, procedures and instruction, the POE should provide a summary of the information and an appropriate

cross reference.
The Authority requires the POE to be an accurate definition and description of the production Organisation. The
document does not require approval in itself, but it will be considered as such by virtue of the approval of the
Organisation.
When changes to the Organisation occur, the POE is required to be kept up to date per a procedure, laid down in
the POE. Significant changes to the Organisation (as defined in ACJ 21.147(a)) should be approved by the
Authority prior to update of the POE.
When an Organisation is approved against any other JAR containing a requirement for an exposition, a
supplement covering the differences may suffice to meet the requirements of Subpart G except that the
supplement should have an index identifying where those parts missing from the supplement are covered. Those
items then formally become part of the POE. In any combined documents the POE should be easily identifiable.

A facility is a working area where the working conditions and the environment are controlled as appropriate in
respect of: cleanliness, temperature, humidity, ventilation, lighting, space/access, noise, air pollution.
Equipment and tools should be such as to enable all specified tasks to be accomplished in a repeatable manner
without detrimental effect. Calibration control of equipment and tools which affect critical dimensions and values
must show compliance with, and be traceable to, national or international standards.
Sufficient personnel means that the Organisation has for each function according to the nature of the work and

1 Certifying Staff are nominated by the Production Organisation to ensure that Products, Parts, and
Pa
Appliances qualify for Statements of Conformity or Release Certificates. Certifying Staff positions and numbers
are to be appropriate to the complexity of the product and the production rate.

2 The qualification of certifying staff is based on their knowledge, background and experience and a
specific training (or testing) established by the Organisation to ensure that it is appropriate to the product, part, or
appliance to be released.
3 Training should be given to develop a satisfactory level of knowledge of Organisation procedures,
aviation legislation, and JAA Regulations, relevant to the particular role.
4 For that purpose, in addition to general training policy, the Organisation should define its own standards
for training, including pre-qualification standards, for personnel to be identified as certifying staff.
5 Training policy is part of the Quality System and its appropriateness forms part of investigation by the
Authority within the Organisation approval process and subsequent surveillance of persons proposed by
managers.
6 The training should be changed in response to experience gained and changes in technology.
7 A feedback system to ascertain that the required standards are being maintained should be put in place
to ensure the continuing compliance of personnelto authorisation requirements.

1 The relocation of any work, to an unapproved location, or a location with inappropriate scope of
erá
approval, constitutes a change of significance to the Organisation and requires approval by the Authority as
ls
prescribed in JAR 21.147. An unapproved relocation will invalidate the Production Organisation Approval, and
be
may necessitate re-application for any similar approval required at the new location. However, suitable transitional
pe
arrangements may be agreed with the Authority, in advance of the relocation, which can allow continuation of the

approval.

3 For a change in location, taking an extended period of time, suitable transitional arrangements would
Pa
require preparation of a Co-ordination plan for the removal. The plan should, at least, identify the following;
a A clearly identified person, or group of persons, responsible for co-ordinating the removal and acting as

focal point for communication with all parties, including the Authority.
b The basis of the co-ordination plan, e.g. whether by product or area.
C Planned timing of each phase of relocation.
d Arrangements for maintaining the standards of the approval up to the point where the production area is
closed down.
e Arrangements for verifYing continued production quality upon resumption of work at the new location.
f Arrangements for check and/or recalibration of inspection aids or production tools and jigs before
resuming production.
9 Procedures which ensure that goods are not released from the new location until their associated
production and quality systems have been verified.
h Arrangements for keeping the Authority informed of progress with the relocation.
01.1 1.01 2-G-9 Amendment 3

4 From the Co-ordination plan, the Authority can determine the points at which it wishes to conduct
investigation.
5 If an agreed co-ordination plan is in operation, the Authority will normally allow the existing approval to
remain in force and will, where appropriate, grant an additional approval to cover the new address for the duration
of the move.

Transferability (Acceptable Means of Compliance)
I
LY
AC
See JAR 21.149
Transfer of approval would normally only be agreed in cases where the ownership changes but the Organisation
AT RM
itself remains effectively unchanged. For example:
An acceptable transfer situation could be a change of company name (supported by the appropriate certificate
FO
N
from the National Companies Registration Office or equivalent) but with no changes to site address, facilities,
IO
type of work, staff, Manager Accountable or Manager nominated in accordance with JAR 21.145.
IN
Alternatively, in the event of receivership (bankruptcy, insolvency or other equivalent legal process) there may be
good technical justification for continuation of the approval provided that the company continues to function in a
RA
satisfactory manner in accordance with their POE. It is likely that at a later stage the approval might be voluntarily
RM
surrendered or the Organisation transferred to new owners in which case the former paragraphs apply. If it does
PA
not continue to operate satisfactorily then the Authority could suspend or revoke the approval under JAR 21.1 59

In order for the Authority to agree to a transfer of approval, it will normally prescribe it as a condition in

INTRODUCTION
This ACJ relates only to the use of the JAA Form One for manufacturing purposes. Attention is drawn to
AT RM
Appendix 3 to Section 2 of JAR-145 which covers the use of the JAA Form One for maintenance purposes.]
e 1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
FO
N
[ ] The [primary] purpose of the certificateis [ ] to [release] products, [parts and appliances as identified in Blocks
IO
IN
7 through 11 as applicable] (hereafter referred to as [‘item(s)’]) after manufacture, or to release maintenance
work carried out on [items] under the approval of a National Aviation Authority (NAA) member of the Joint
RA
Aviation Authorities (JAA).
RM
The Certificate referenced JAA Form One (Issue 3 or later) is called the Authorised Release Certificate.
PA
The Certificate is to be used for expofthmport purposes, as well as for domestic purposes, and serves as an
FO
official certificate for the deiiiety of [items] from the manufacturedmaintenance organisation to users. The
LO
Certificate is not a delivery or shipping note.

IN
It can only be issued by organisations/persons approved by the particular NAA, within the scope of such an
SÓ
approval, or by the NationalAviation Authority itself.

FO
Aircraft are not to be released using the Certificate.

erá
A mixture of ‘New‘ and ‘Used‘ [items] is not permittedon the same Certificate.
ls
be
pe
A mixture of [ ] items [certified in conformity to ‘approved data’ and to ‘non-approved data’] is not permitted on the
ill

rc
Co
pe
The Certificate should comply with the format attached including block numbers in that each block must be
Pa
located as per the layout. The size of each block may however be varied to suit the individual application, but not
to the extent that would make the Certificate unrecognisable. The overall size of the Certificate may be
significantly increased or decreased so long as the Certificate remains recognisable and legible. If in doubt

consult your NAA.

Please note that the User responsibility statements are normally placed on the reverse of this Certiiicate, but they
may be added to the front of the Certificate by reducing the depth of the form.
All printing should be clear and legible to permit easy reading.
The Certificate may either be pre-printed or computer generated but in either case the printing of lines and
characters must be clear and legible. Pre-printed wording is permitted in accordance with the attached model but
no other certificationstatements are permitted. The national language of the country of origin of the NAA shall be
printed below the Englishwording when required by the NAA.
Completion of the Certificate should be in English when it is used for export purposes, otherwise it can be
completed in the national language.
The details to be entered on the Certificate can be either machine/computer printed or hand-written using block
kites, and should permit easy reading. Abbreviations should be restrictedto a minimum.
01.1 1.01 2-G-17 Amendment 3

ACJ No. 1 to 21.163(b)(continued)
The space remaining on the reverse side of the Certificate may be used by the originator for any additional
informationbut should not include any certification statement.
The [original] Certificate should accompany the [items] and correlation should be established between the
Certificate and the [items(s)]. A copy of the Certificate should be retained by the Organisation that manufactured
the [item]. Where the Certificate format and the data is entirely computer generated, subject to acceptance by the
NAA, it is permissible to retain the Certificate format and data on a secure database.
There is no restriction in the number of copies of the Certificate sent to the customer or retained by the originator.
The Certificate that accompanies the [item] may be attached to the [item] by being placed in an envelope for
ON ÓN
durability.

Determination of conformity to the applicable design data (Acceptable Means of Compliance)
See JAR 21.165
1 Introduction
A type design (reference paragraph JAR 21.31) is an accumulation of all the data which is needed to define a
Product. One benefl of this data is to enable the consistent production of multiple examples of the Product.
Similar data has to be available for Products changed under Supplementary Type Certification procedures which
exist for the alteration of Products under JAR-21 Subpart E and also for the manufacture of articles under JAR-21
-
Subpart 0 Joint Technical Standard Order Authorisations ( J E 0 articles).
01.I 1.01 2-G-25 Amendment 3

JAR-21 SECTION 2
ACJ No. 4 to 21.165(c) (continued)

The data enables planning and control of the manufacturingprocess to be carried out, maximising the conclusion
of conformity with the applicable design data at the completion of the manufacturing process.
Despite this planning ability it is almost certain that some testing will be required for almost all Products to
determine conformity to the applicable design data and in many cases such demonstrations of performance will
be needed at lower levels of assembly (Le. testing of Parts and Appliances) where for reasons of complexity and
integration into the final Product it is only practical to determine conformity at the lower assembly level.
Demonstration of performance will almost always be required for JTSO articles.
2 Test Criteria
ON ÓN
The criteria for testing will evolve from the Type Certificate Data Sheet information. This exists as part the type
design (reference paragraph JAR 21.31) and will apply to the Product and to the Parts and Appliances included in
its design.
I
LY
AC
The criteria for testing for altered Products (alteration under STC procedures to Subpart E) may require reference
to both TC and STC data for the complete information to be established.
AT RM
The criteria for testing of JTSO articles are included in the Declaration of Design and Performance (reference
paragraph JAR 21.608).
FO
N
3 Scope of Testing
IO
IN
The actual extent of testing required for each Product or Part and Appliance will vary with the complexity of the
Product or Part and Appliance and needs to be agreed with the design approval holder. Testing of integrated
RA
systems should take into account the previously carried out testing of individual system elements. These may in
RM
fact have been more extensive since the testing of elements can often take into account extremes of
PA
environmental variables which cannot be accommodated when testing the complete system (e.g. an engine fuel
FO
control system which can be rig tested at simulated altitude conditions whereas the engine itseif can normally only
be tested at ground level ambient conditions). Similarly questions of overall system reliability should be a factor in
LO
IN
whether a particular test is necessaiy. The need for a test may well be relaxed with experience or equally may
need to be introducedas a result of service feedback.
SÓ
Examples of the scope of testing should consider the following guidelines:-

See JAR 21.1 65(~)
The JAA Form One, when used as a release certificate as addressed in JAR 21.165(~)(2)and (3), can be issued
in two ways:
0 As an Airworthiness release, only when by virtue of the arrangement described in JAR 21.133(b). it can

ACJ 21.A231
See JAR 21.A231
The JAR-21 describes procedures for approval of products and of parts and appliances. It has been considered
that the approval of organisations will enhance the quality of the work done for approval of products and of parts
and appliances.
ON ÓN
For Design Organisation Approval, two categories are defined –
I
1 JA : Type Certification or Supplemental Type Certification [,] some JTSO Authorisation [and
LY
AC
approval of minor changes or repairs to products.]
AT RM
2 JB : Design of parts and appliances.
1 Type Certification [,] Supplemental Type Certification [, approval of minor changes or repairs to
FO
products] – Category JA. For Type Certification, Supplemental Type Certification[,] for JTSO Authorisation for
N
articles listed in Appendix C [, approval of minor changes or repairs to products], the applicant has specific
IO
IN
responsibility with regard to the demonstration of compliance with applicable requirements and for that has direct
relationship with the Authority. A Design Organisation Approval gives privileges in the accomplishment of
activities required by JAR-21 for TC, STC[,] for JTSO Authorisation for articles listed in Appendix C [and
approval of minor changes or repairs to products.]
RA
RM
PA
2 Design of Parts and Appliances – Category JB. Due to the complexity of technology and design
FO
activities in the aeronautic field, organisations are very often orientated to a specific kind of activity and form
consortia to build complete aircraft. It has been considered as useful to give Design Organisation Approvals to
LO
such organisations to simplify the overall Design Organisation Approval. A JB Design Organisation Approval is
IN
indeed the recognition of a capability to design a part or appliance under a general Design Assurance system.
SÓ
When this recognition has been done and is continuously surveyed by the Authority, it is not necessary to re-
FO
assess completely an organisation when included in a consortium or other industrial relationship. The
erá
integration in the system only may be checked under the Design Organisation Approval of the TC applicant.
ls
This can be considered as an advantage to avoid duplication of work in the field of Design Organisation
be
pe
Approvals for both the applicant and the Authority.

2.3 The “Type Investigation” means the tasks of the Organisation in support of the Type Certificate or
Supplemental Type Certificate necessary to show and verify and to maintain compliance with the applicable
airworthiness requirements.
3 Design Assurance. The complete process, starting with the airworthiness requirements and product
specifications and culminating with the issuing of a Type Certificate, is shown in the diagram on Page 2–JA–2.
This identifies the relationship between the design, the Type Investigation and Design Assurance processes.

DOA privilege related to compliance documents
See JAR 21.A263(a)
ACCEPTANCE OF COMPLIANCE DOCUMENTS BY THE AUTHORITY
A compliance document is the end result of a certification process, where the showing of compliance is
recorded. For each specific certification process, the Authority is involved in the process itself at an early stage,
especially through the establishment of the certification programme. The inspections or tests as per JAR
21.A257(b) may be performed at various stages of the whole certification process, not necessarily when the
compliance document is presented.
Therefore, according to the scheduled level of involvement, the Authority should agree with the DOA Holder
documents to be accepted without further Authority verification under the DOA privilege of JAR 21.A263(a).

SECTION 2 JAR91
ACJ - SUBPART JB
ACJ 21.8231
See JAR 21.8231
The JAR-21 describes procedures for approval of products and of parts and appliances. It has been
considered that the approval of Organisations will enhance the quality of the work done for approval of
products and of parts and appliances.
For Design Organisation approval, two categories are defined -
ON ÓN
1 JA :Type Certification or Supplemental Type Certification
I
2 JB : Design of parts and appliances
LY
AC
1 -
Type Certification or Supplemental Type Certification Category JA. For Type Certification,
AT RM
Supplemental Type Certification, and for JTSO Authorisation for articles listed in Appendix C, the applicant
has specific responsibility with regard to the demonstration of compliance with applicable requirements and
for that has direct relationship with the Authority. A Design Organisation Approval gives privileges in the
FO
N
@ accomplishment of activities required by JAR-21 for TC, STC and for JTSO Authorisation for articles listed
IO
in Appendix C.
IN
2 Design of Parts and Appliances - Category JB. Due to the complexity of technology and design
activities in the aeronautic field, organisations are very often oriented to a specific kind of activities and
RA
form consortia to build complete aircraft. It has been considered as useful to give Design Organisation
RM
Approvals to such Organisations to simplify the overall Design Organisation Approval. A JB Design
PA
Organisation Approval is indeed the recognition of a capability to design a part or appliance under a
FO
general Design Assurance system.
LO
When this recognition has been done and is continuously surveyed by the Authority, it is not necessary to
0
IN
re-assess completely an organisation when included in a consortium or other industrial relationship. The
SÓ
integration in the system only may be checked under the Design Organisation Approval of the TC
R
applicant. This can be considered as an advantage to avoid duplication of work in the field of Design
FO
OrganisationApprovals for both the applicant and the Authority.

b. Organisations having competence to show compliance with requirements in an area of cpecialised

Pa

1 Major parts of a product such as -

- landing gear
- major systems
- engine compressor module
2 Major items of equipment such as -
a -

The Authority may not agree such an approval would be appropriate, where it finds the total amount of
work (of showing compliance), to be subcontractedto the Organisation by vatious JA Organisations, is too
little to justify the Authority workload requiredto investigatethe Organisations.

JAR-21 SECTION 2
ACJ 21.B239(a)
See JAR 21.8239(a)
1 Purpose. This ACJ outlines some basic principles and objectives in order to comply with JAR
21 .B239(a).
2 Definitions
2.1 The Design Assurance System is the organisational structure, responsibilities, procedures and
resources to ensure the proper functioning of the Design Organisation,
2.2 The Design Assurance is defined as all those planned and systematic actions necessary to
ON ÓN
provide adequate confidence that the Organisation has the capability -
a. To design parts or appliances in accordance with the applicable airworthiness requirements;
I
LY
AC
b. To assist in showing and verifying the compliance with these requirements; and
AT RM
C. To make statements to the TC or STC applicantlholder.
2.3 The "Type Investigation" means the tasks of the Organisation in support of the Type Certificate or
FO
Supplemental Type Certificate necessary to assist in showing and verifying and in maintaining compliance
N
with the applicable airworthiness requirements.
IO
IN
3 Design Assurance. Effective Design Assurance demands a continuing evaluation of factors that
affect the adequacy of the design for intended applications, in particular that the part or appliance complies
RA
with applicable airworthiness requirements and will continue to comply after any change. Two main
aspects should therefore be considered - RM
PA
1 How the planned and systematic actions are defined and implemented, from the very beginning of
FO
design activities up to continued airworthiness activities.
LO
2 How these actions are regularly evaluated and corrective actions implementedas necessary.
IN
NOTE: Liaison with the Authority regarding Type Investigation requires the prior agreement of the TC or STC applicant/
SÓ
holder.
R
FO
3.1 Planned and Systematic Actions. For Design Organisations supporting Type Investigation, the
erá
planned and systematic actions should cover the following tasks and procedures should be defined
accordingly.

h. To provide the assurance to the TC or STC applicantlholder that prototype models and test
specimens adequately conform to the type design (see JAR 21.33(~)(2)).
3.1.2 Head of Design Organisation (or his Deputy). The Head of the Design Organisation is responsible
to ensure that the statements made as defined in paragraph 2.2 above meet the applicable airworthiness
requirements. He ensures that the procedures as specified in the handbook have been followed. (See

Classification of repairs (Interpretative Material)
1. Clarification of the terms Major/Minor
In line with the definitions given in JAR 21.91, a new repair is classified as 'major' if the result on the
approved type design has an appreciable effect on structural performance, weight, balance, systems,
operational characteristics or other characteristics affecting the airworthiness of the product, part or
ON ÓN
appliance. In particular, a repair is classified as major if it needs extensive static, fatigue and damage
tolerance strength justification and/or testing in its own right, or if it needs methods, techniques or practices
that are unusual (i.e. unusual material selection, heat treatment, material processes, jigging diagrams,
I
LY
AC
etc.....)
Repairs that require a re-assessment and re-evaluation of the original certification substantiation data to
AT RM
ensure that the aircraft still complies with all the relevant requirements, are to be considered as major
repairs.
FO
N
Repairs whose effects are considered minor and require minimal or no assessment of the original
IO
certification substantiation data to ensure that the aircraft still complies with all the relevant requirements,
IN
are to be considered minor
It is understood that not all the certification substantiation data will be available to those
RA
persons/organisations classifying repairs. A qualitative judgement of the effects of the repair will therefore
RM
be acceptable for the initial classification. The subsequent review of the design of the repair may lead to it
PA
being re-classified, owing to early judgements being no longer valid.

FO
Airworthiness concerns for Major/Minor classification
LO
IN
The following should be considered for the significance of their effect when classifying repairs. Should the
SÓ
effect be considered to be significant then the repair should be classified 'Major'. The repair can be
R
classified 'Minor' where the effect is known to be without appreciable consequence.

FO
erá
i) Structural performance
ls
Structural performance of the product includes static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, flutter and
be
pe
stiffness characteristics. Repairs to any element of the structure should be assessed for their effect upon
ill
pa
the structural performance.

yw
en
ii) Weight and balance

op
pia
The weight of the repair may have a greater effect upon smaller aircraft as opposed to larger aircraft. The
rc
effects to be considered are related to overall aircraft centre of gravity and aircraft load distribution. Control

iii) Systems
Repairs to any elements of a system should be assessed for the effect intended on the operation of the

complete system and for the effect on system redundancy. The consequence of a structural repair on an
adjacent or remote system should also be considered as above, (for example: airframe repair in area of a
static port).

Changes may include:
- stall characteristics
- handling
- performance and drag
- vibration
v) Other characteristics
- changes to load path and load sharing

- change to noise and emissions
- fire protection / resistance ]

necessary to ensure the continued airworthiness of the product. Temporary repairs for which specific
inspections are required prior to installation of a permanent repair do not necessarily need to be classified
as 'Major'. Also, inspections and changes to inspection frequencies not required as part of the approval to

Introduction of the third category has been widely debated during JAR 21 development. Based on

comments relative to the risk of wide interpretation, the wording relative to the third category has been
tightened between Draft 2 and Draft 3. The third category has even been withdrawn from Draft4. This
op
pia
clearly indicates that the words "unsafe conditions" have to be strictly interpreted.
rc
Co
pe
There is no regulatory definition (i.e. in JAR 1) of "unsafe conditions" therefore the dictionary definition
applies.
Pa
However, the need for a Special Condition based on in-service experience should be judged by using the
following points as benchmarks:

- The words "unsafe conditions" are used in FAR Part 39 (See Sections 39.1 and 39.11) to justify
the basis for an Airworthiness Directive.
- "Unsafe conditions" embrace the viability to ensure "continued safe flight and landing" . For large
aeroplanes according to AMJ 25.1309, that means the capability for continued controlled flight and landing,
possibly using emergency procedures, but without requiring exceptional pilot skill or strength. Some aircraft
damage may be associated with a failure condition, during flight or upon landing.
NPA(S) under discussion can only be notified as part of the certification basis if they qualify as Special
Conditions.

Issue of Standard Certificates of Airworthiness (Interpretative Material)

See JAR 21N183

JAR 21N183 introduction uses the wording “Without prejudice to other provisions of national laws
applicable in the absence of a comprehensive set of JAR rules”. This wording is used to take into account
the fact that the JARs do not yet cover issues such as environmental certification procedures or aircraft
registration procedures, which may interfere with the certification procedures of JAR-21. This wording
should not be interpreted as leaving room for additional national design requirements, which deviate from
the published airworthiness JARs, but only for additional national administrative requirements where these
are needed for subjects which are not otherwise addressed by the JARs.]
