Common use of Technical Meetings Clause in Contracts

Technical Meetings. 3.2.8.1 In addition to the initial familiarization meeting, other technical meetings may be necessary to ensure that any additional technical conditions that have been communicated to the CAA are well understood, and that any outstanding technical issues are resolved. These meetings should be held as early as possible in the certification process in order to permit timely design changes. All technical meetings will normally be arranged through the CAA and will normally have both authorities in attendance. 3.2.8.2 Early in the program, based on the known design and information presented in the familiarization and technical meetings, the FAA will identify the areas in which further activity by the FAA will be required. The anticipated level of activity by the FAA will be documented in writing. This document may be revised if the initial design definition is incomplete or subsequent design changes are made. 3.2.8.3 The CAA will keep the FAA informed of the progress of its type certification program on a periodic basis. The CAA should notify the FAA’s Project Manager as soon as possible of all additional novel or unusual design features, and all other design features that might cause or have caused the CAA to develop a special condition or to make an equivalent level of safety finding.
