CERTIFICATION OF AIRCRAFT

1. Introduction

1.1 Applicants for Malaysian certification should be aware that all aircraft, irrespective of their size, will normally
be subject to investigation by the DCA in order to establish, taking into account their design, construction,
modification standard and original certification basis, that a level of airworthiness equivalent to that provided
by Malaysian airworthiness standards has been achieved. The DCA will also require knowledge of the
arrangements for post-certification design support in order to be satisfied that this airworthiness standard
may be expected to be sustained after certification.

1.2 Malaysia does not issue Type Certificates for imported aircraft. Acceptance is based on a process of
validation by granting a Malaysian Certificate of Airworthiness.

1.3 This Notice provides guidance on the investigations which the Department will need to make and the
requirements to be satisfied prior to certification. However, for aircraft and products of United States origin
imported from the United States, Appendix 1 to this Notice provides details of the definitive requirements for
Malaysian certification. In respect of aeronautical products and parts manufactured in Malaysia, Appendix 2
to this Notice provides details of requirement for Malaysian certification. In respect of aircraft and products
originated and imported from countries that are full members of JAA, Appendix 3 to this Notice provides
details of the definitive requirements for Malaysian certification.

1.4 Prospective purchasers of used aircraft are encouraged to discuss their proposals with the DCA before
arranging import for Malaysian certification.

2. Definitions

2.1 Special Requirements are those administrative requirements which must be satisfied as a condition of
certification.

2.2 Additional Requirements are those additional design requirements found necessary by the DCA, in addition
to the exporting country's certification basis, to provide a level of safety equivalent to that provided by the
DCA airworthiness requirements.

2.3 Special Conditions are airworthiness standards issued to cover novel and unusual design features.

3. Types For Which A Malaysian Certificate Of Airworthiness Has Not Previously Been Issued

3.1 Design Investigation

3.1.1 The Malaysian investigation will be directed primarily to areas where the airworthiness standards, as
applied by the original Certifying Authority, may not, in the view of the DCA, be equivalent to Malaysian
standards. Compliance with the requirements of the Malaysian Civil Aviation Regulation in respect of
mandatory equipment will also be investigated.

3.1.2 The extent and depth of the design investigation will vary according to the design features of the aircraft and
the Malaysian certification category(ies) applied for (Transport, Aerial Work, Private, Special). Where an
aircraft type has been designed to meet an internationally recognised code of airworthiness e.g. BCAR,
FAR, JAR, but the type has not actually been evaluated by the national authority who prepared the code
e.g. FAA for FAR, then the DCA reserves the right to consult the appropriate national authority as a part of
its design investigation.

3.1.3 As a result of its design investigation, the DCA may prescribe Additional Requirements and the Certifying
Authority of the country of origin may be asked to certify that compliance with such Additional Requirements
has been established.
 No: 1 Issue: 5 Page: 2

3.1.4 Where, in the opinion of the DCA, an aircraft is of novel or unusual construction Special Conditions may be
imposed or certification may be refused.

3.1.5 The requirements of the Appendix 1 to this Notice will be applied to all applications for certification of
aeronautical product of United States origin which are imported into Malaysia from the United States. The
requirements of the Appendix 3 will be applied to all applications for certification of aeronautical product
originated and imported from countries that are full members of JAA. For all other aircraft, the DCA will
provide details of the requirements on request. However, applicants should note that in general the
requirements of the Appendix 1 will be adopted in principle to meet the circumstances of the particular case.
Attention is particularly drawn to the Special Requirements detailed in paragraph 4 of the Appendix 1.

3.1.6 The requirement of Appendix 2 to this Notice will be applied to all applications for certification of
aeronautical products and parts manufactured in Malaysia.

4. Types For Which A Malaysian Certificate Of Airworthiness Has Previously Been Issued

When an aircraft type has already been certificated in Malaysia, other series aircraft may be accepted
without further design investigation. However, for an aircraft to be accepted as series, it is essential that it,
and its equipment, should be demonstrated as being substantially similar to another aircraft of the type or
variant thereof accepted for Malaysian certification; significant difference must be identified and may
necessitate further design investigation.

5. Administrative Procedures

5.1 General

5.1.1 Applications for certification will only be considered where there is a likelihood that the aircraft type
concerned will be acquired by a Malaysian owner / operator. This will normally require that an application
for Malaysian registration of the aircraft concerned is being processed or an approach to the DCA has been
made by the prospective Malaysian owner / operator.

5.1.2 Application for registration should be submitted on form JPA-AP1 accompanied by the appropriate fee (refer
to Airworthiness Notices No. 9 and No. 66).

5.1.3 Applications for Certificates of Airworthiness should be submitted on form JPA-AP2 accompanied by the
appropriate fee (refer to Airworthiness Notice No. 9). Appendix `A' to form JPA-AP2 must be completed in
full to provide details of the installed equipment etc.

5.1.4 Where DCA staff will be required to visit locations outside Malaysia, the applicant will be responsible for
associated travel and subsistence costs and an appropriate undertaking in writing must be supplied. An
estimate will be supplied on request. In some cases, a deposit against these costs may be required.

6. Cancellation

This Notice cancels Airworthiness Notice No. 1, Issue 4, dated 1 July 1997, which should be destroyed.
