Agenda Item 3 J. Diamant Boustead / TCCA TCCAFamiliarization of FAA STCs with AMLs Avionics Workshop - Ottawa
TCCA acceptance of FAA STCs with AMLs What are they? TCCA recent approach TCCA future approach TCCA policy on domestic STCs with AMLs STCs with AMLs Avionics Workshop - Ottawa
FAA STCs with: Generic vs. specific installation instructions Often sets limits and requires additional approval of aspects beyond scope of installation instructions Applicability to multiple aircraft types Small Aircraft Directorate Initiative (primarily) Associated FAA Guidance: Enabled through FAA Order 8110.4B (Ch 4-2) Small A/C Directorate Policy memos FAA STCs with AMLs – What are They? Avionics Workshop - Ottawa
Different state of design (SOD) aircraft requires varying level of review (AMA 513.20, ACSI 23): “Accept” FAA STCs on US SOD aircraft (No Review) “Review” FAA STCs on non-US SOD aircraft Requirement to obtain additional approval for installation aspects that basic STC doesn’t cover No TCCA equivalent to FAA 337 Field Approval system used in these cases – have to use LSTC TCCA policy (ACSI 23) doesn’t adequately address complex FAA STCs with AMLs Avionics Workshop - Ottawa
TCCA policy discussion on how to accept: “high level” review of equipment and installation aspects No corresponding TCCA STC to be issued Airworthiness Notice (AN) to be published to indicate STC acceptance and need to seek TCCA approval on “extra” aspects Recent program: UPS STC SA1229SE(GPS WAAS – Integrated VHF/NavComm on 135 aircraft) Avionics Workshop - Ottawa
TCCA to develop revised policy on acceptance of future FAA STCs with AMLs Will require more detailed consideration of implementation strategy TCCA to review FAA guidance currently under development for reference / incorporation into TCCA guidance material TCCA Future Activities on STCs with AMLS Avionics Workshop - Ottawa
Currently: AWM 513.02 does allow STCs with AMLs Policy and procedural (ACSI 22) material do not cover issuance of STCs with AMLs TCCA has issued some TCCA policy - Domestic STCs with AMLs Avionics Workshop - Ottawa
Proposed: TCCA will allow STCs with AMLs TCCA procedural material to be revised Scope will be defined based on current and future FAA material Limited to small aircraft / rotorcraft initially Simple vs. complex differentiation TCCA policy - Domestic STCs with AMLs Avionics Workshop - Ottawa
