Common use of FAA Type Certification Basis Clause in Contracts

FAA Type Certification Basis. (a) The FAA shall develop its type certification basis using the applicable airworthiness standards (14 CFR) in effect on the date application was made to EASA, or where applicable an AA, for its type certificate. (When 14 CFR part 26 applies to a European transport category airplane, the applicable standard is the amendment in effect on the date the FAA type certificate is issued.) (b) The applicable airworthiness requirements may be supplemented with the following additional requirements: (1) Special conditions: The FAA shall review all novel and unusual design features for development of special conditions. (2) Technical requirements necessary in the interest of safety: These include requirements to preclude a potential unsafe condition finding for the product under 14 CFR 21.21(b)(2). These may be generated as a result of adverse service history of this product, or other products of a similar nature or design. This includes, but is not limited to, actions taken by EASA to correct unsafe conditions.
