FAA Streamlines STC Process

0

Obtaining a simple Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) could become a relatively painless completion of a checklist supplied by the FAA … maybe. The agency has issued an Advisory Circular providing compliance checklists for common STC projects. “The standard compliance checklists show typical methods of compliance with the regulations and cross-references related guidance material,” said the notice published in the Federal Register. The checklists are expected to make the STC process a little easier. According to the notice, some of the checklists may contain complete certification requirements while others will be used as a starting point for more complicated STCs that are beyond the scope of a checklist. Paper copies of the new rules, designated AC 23-24 Airworthiness Compliance Checklists for Common Part 23 Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) Projects, are available from U.S. Department of Transportation, Subsequent Distribution Office, DOT Warehouse, M-30, Ardmore East Business Center, 3341Q 75th Avenue, Landover, M.D., 20785, telephone (301) 322-4779, or by faxing your request to the warehouse at (301) 386-5394. Cost is $10 for U.S. customers and $14 for those outside the U.S. An Internet version is in the works.
