Airworthiness certification

Certification roadmaps from the first authority meeting to the type certificate, with experts who have led certification programmes on both sides of the table.

What we do

Certification management plan

The schedule, the deliverables and the liaison process with the authority, so that every certification milestone has an owner and a date.

Certification basis development

The applicable code and amendment, special conditions, equivalent safety findings and exemptions, with the applicability and allocation of every requirement.

Certification plans and means of compliance

The compliance demonstration strategy: means and proof of compliance allocated per requirement, and the certification programme per 21.A.15(b).

Verification methods and documentation

The methodology for verifying compliance and the documentation that records it, in the form the authority accepts.

CVE support

Support for compliance verification engineers: review packages, compliance statements and the independence the DOA requires.

Standards

  • Part 21 (21.A.15, 21.A.20, 21.A.33), Regulation (EU) No 748/2012
  • 14 CFR 21.17, 21.20, 21.33, eCFR
  • FAA Order 8110.4C Change 7, type certification process

How an engagement runs

An engagement starts with a scoping call and a written proposal that names the deliverables, the standards and the people. Work runs in your tools and your document system, with a weekly status and a single point of contact. Findings and authority correspondence are handled with you, never for you.
