TYPE CERTIFICATES
1. INTRODUCTION

A Type Certificate with respect to an aircraft means, a document issued by the Director
General certifying that the type design of the aircraft and any variants specified on the
associated Data Sheet, comply with the airworthiness design standards to which the
certificate refers. The Type Certificate includes; the Type Certificate Data Sheet, the type
design, the operating limitations and any other conditions or limitations prescribed for the
aircraft in this chapter.

Note : When a Type Certificate has been issued, aircraft of that type are eligible for application to
receive a Certificate of Airworthiness in accordance with the procedures of Chapter B.2
following.

2. APPLICATION

2.1 An applicant for a Type Certificate for an aircraft for which a Nepalese Certificate
of Airworthiness is required (hereinafter referred to as an applicant) may apply
to the Director General for the issuance of a Type Certificate for that aircraft type.

2.2 An applicant for a Type Certificate for an aircraft shall submit the application
Form B.1.1 with detailed data identifying the airworthiness design standards to
which the aircraft was designed and describing the design, construction and
performance of the aircraft. This data shall include; a copy of the Type Certificate
issued by the State of Manufacture, a three-view drawing of the aircraft and any
other drawings necessary to define the aircraft, and copies of the manufacturers'
manuals in English, including the Flight Manual.

2.3 The Director General may request further information, including proof of
compliance with airworthiness design standards. A Type Certificate will not be
granted unless the Director General is satisfied that there is compliance with the
appropriate airworthiness design standards and that there are no known unsafe
features of the aircraft.

requirements is required, or
(b) where the change is;
(i) in the number of engines or rotors, or
(ii) to engines or rotors, using different principles of operation, or
(c) in the case of an aircraft engine, the change is in the principle of operation, or
(d) in the case of propellers, the change is in the number of blades or principle of
pitch change operation.

4. THE TYPE CERTIFICATE DATA SHEET

The Type Certificate Data Sheet is part of the Type Certificate and will give the basis of
certification and the designation of each aircraft variant, included as part of the Type
Certificate. It will also define general particulars of the design and prescribe conditions

(vii) the list of documents which identifies all documents published by the State of
Manufacture, aircraft manufacturer and component suppliers to the aircraft
manufacturer as well as a copy of such documents which are necessary to
support the continuing Airworthiness of the aircraft.
(viii) the maintenance review board (MRB) report if one is produced for the
aircraft and the associated policy and procedures handbook used to guide
the development of the MRB.
(ix) the Master Minimum Equipment List for aircraft and the Dispatch Deviation
Guide if produced.
