  1. Practice and Prospects: Transport Airplane Type Certification in China Presenter: Yin Shijun CAAC-AAD

  2. Outline • General • The practice of Transport Airplane Type Certification • Future Prospects

  3. General • Objectives of Aircraft Certification • To ensure the initial safety of the aircraft operated, and to contribute to the continuing safety • Promote the improvement of aviation safety level

  4. General • Aircraft Certification Process • Type certification • Product certification • Airworthiness certification of single aircraft • Certification Categories • Transport Category aircraft • Normal, utility, acrobatic, and commuter category aircraft • Special classes of aircraft • Primary category aircraft • Light sport aircraft

  5. General • Airworthiness Regulations • CCAR 23 • Airworthiness Standards: Normal, Utility, Acrobatic, and Commuter Category Airplanes • R3 was issued on October 12, 2004, which is equivalent to FAR part 23 through amdt. 23-55 • CCAR 25 • Airworthiness Standards: Transport Category Airplanes • R3 was issued on May 14, 2001, which is equivalent to FAR part 25 through amdt. 25-100 • CCAR 27 • Airworthiness Standards: Normal Category Rotorcraft • R1 was issued on July 2, 2002, which is equivalent to FAR part 27 through amdt 27-40

  6. General • Airworthiness Regulation • CCAR 29 • Airworthiness Standards: Transport Category Rotorcraft • R1 was issued on July 2, 2002, which is equivalent to FAR part 29 through amdt 29-47 • CCAR 31 • Airworthiness Standards: Manned Free Balloons • Originally issued on March 15, 2007, which is equivalent to FAR Part 31 through amdt 31-7

  7. General • Advisory Circular • AC-21-AA-2008-37 • Primary Category Aircraft • Issued on May 5, 2009, which is equivalent to FAA AC 21.57 • AC-21-AA-2009-05 • Policy Guidance on Airworthiness Management of Light Sport Aircraft • Issued on May 5, 2009 • AC-21-AA-2009-09R1 • Type certification of Airships • Issued on May 5, 2009, which uses FAR AC 21.17-1A as reference

  8. General • The history of CCAR 25 • Originally issued on December 31, 1985, which is equivalent to FAR part 25 through amdt. 25-57 • Revision 1 was issued on July 18, 1990, which is equivalent to FAR part 25 through amdt. 25-66 • Revision 2 was issued on December 18, 1995, which is equivalent to FAR part 25 through amdt. 25-82 • Revision 3 was issued on May 14, 2001, which is equivalent to FAR part 25 through amdt. 25-100 • Right now the fourth revision is ongoing, which would be equivalent to FAR part 25 through amdt. 25-125

  9. Outline • General • The Practice of Transport Airplane Type Certification • Future Prospects

  10. The Practice • Types certified • Types validated • Types being and to be certified • Bilateral airworthiness relationship • Certification resources

  11. The Practice • Types certified • Y8F series airplanes • Manufacturer: Shaanxi Aircraft Industrial (Group) Cooperation Ltd • Original issue date: December 25, 1993 • Original certification basis: CCAR 25 • Including Y8F, Y8F-100, Y8F-200, Y8F-400 • One aircraft is operated in Zhongfei General Aviation Company. Three used to be operated by China Post Airlines

  12. The Practice • Types certified • Y7 series airplanes • Manufacturer: Xi’an Aircraft Industrial Company • Original issue date: May 23, 1988 • Original certification basis: CCAR 25 • Including Y7-100, Y7H-500, Y7-200A, MA60, MA600 • Y7 series airplanes were used by several domestic airlines. Currently MA60 is operated by Joyair, OKair, and Ying’an airlines. • 20 MA 60 airplanes has been exported to 7 countries

  13. The Practice • Type validated • Since the issuance of Validated Type Certificate (VTC) to Boeing 767-200 on September 7, 1985, CAAC had issued 52 VTCs to transport category airplanes manufactured by foreign manufacturers by the end of March 2010 • VTCs issued recently include A380 airplane, Cessna 680 airplane, etc

  14. The Practice • Types being and to be certified • ARJ 21-700 airplane • Applicant: AVIC Commercial Aircraft Company (ACAC) • Turbo fan powered twin engine regional jet • The application made to CAAC on Jan 20, 2003 • Certification basis is CCAR 25 R3 plus some special conditions • The project is at the phase of development flight test • Static strength test airplane, fatigue test airplane and 4 prototypes for flight test have been produced • ACAC applied for FAA Type certificate through CAAC-AAD on April 28, 2008, and FAA accepted the application on May 28, 2008. Right now the “shadow certification” is ongoing.

  15. The Practice • Types being and to be certified • C919 airplane • Turbo fan powered twin engine airplane with 150 seats • Planning to make TC application this year • “Jiaolong 600” airplane • Turbo propeller powered four engine seaplane, with a MTOW of 53 tons • Planning to make TC application in February 2011

  16. The Practice • Bilateral airworthiness relationship • With USA • A limited Bilateral Airworthiness Agreement has been signed • Right now, ARJ21-700 airplane is used as a “shadow certification” project to expand the BAA to Part 25 aircraft • With EU • EU has expressed the willingness to initiate the negotiation of bilateral airworthiness agreement with CAAC. CAAC has discussed this issue with EASA and send a formal letter to EU through EASA proposing to start the negotiation • CAAC has cooperation with other countries such as Russia, Brazil, Canada, and is willing to initiate the bilateral airworthiness agreements negotiation when appropriate

  17. The Practice East china CD (10) Central & South CD(8) North China CD (9) Northwest CD (15) Northeast CD (6) Southwest CD (8) XinJiang AD (6) • Certification resources CAAC-AAD (5) ACD (4) AID (3) APD (SCD) (3) Shanghai Aircraft Certification Center (42) CAST (12+4+5) CAUC (20) Shenyang Aircraft Certification Center (21) CAMIC (6) Aviation fuel & Chemical Products Certification Center Safety Oversight Bureau Designees

  18. The Practice

  19. Outline • General • The Practice of Transport Airplane Type Certification • Future Prospects

  20. Future Prospects • Rulemaking • Achieve an international level • The fourth revision of CCAR 25 is ongoing, which is equivalent to FAR part 25 through amdt. 25-125 • Establish an integrated Advisory Circular (AC) system • Certification resources • Establish a team of expertise • During the 12th 5 year planning, the certification team will have 800 staff members, including 200 in Shanghai Certification Center • Research the compliance technology • Establish the Xi’an airworthiness verification technology research center • The industry pays much attention to airworthiness activities • Promote the position of the airworthiness department in their company • Invested more resource on this aspect

  21. Future Prospects • International cooperation of the industry becomes closer and closer • The mode of main manufacturer plus suppliers has been widely adopted • From simple part manufacturing to product joint definition • From supplier to partner • Require closer cooperation between authorities to realize the expansion of bilateral airworthiness relationship • With FAA: Shadow certification is ongoing • With EASA: expecting to start bilateral negotiation • Willing to establish bilateral airworthiness relationship with other authorities

  22. The End Thanks!
