The certificates of airworthiness protocol suite provides a structure for how CASA makes decisions in relation to certificates of airworthiness. It consists of the following documents:
- Certificates of Airworthiness (COA.01) - Protocol
- Certificates of Airworthiness (COA.01) - Principle
- Certificates of Airworthiness (COA.01) - Workbook.
The protocol document provides a summary of the policies, concept and philosophy that sits behind the document suite. It identifies approved supplementary documents that are applicable.
The principle document provides technical guidance guidance to a CASA inspector. This helps them make an informed decision on the suitability of an application. It also ensures we are being consistent and using a standard approach. The question in the principle document relates to a question in the worksheet.
We use the worksheet as a record of the assessment and the decision we make. Each worksheet question relates to a regulatory requirement.
Depending on the nature of the application, you need one or more of the following forms:
- Form 717 - Application for Standard Certificate of Airworthiness
- Form 718 - Application for Special Certificate of Airworthiness
- Form 722 - Application for the issue of an Export Certificate of Airworthiness
- Form 682 - Application for Special Certificate of Airworthiness or Experimental Certificate for Light Sport Aircraft
- Form 882 - Conformity Inspection Record
