ANALYSIS OF THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS OF AVIATION EQUIPMENT
Abstract
The article examines the regulatory framework for aircraft type certification (AT), which is a key element in ensuring aviation safety. It highlights the transformation of regulatory acts introduced by the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) into an updated system of legislation developed in accordance with the regulations of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
Special attention is paid to the comparison of airworthiness standards (NLP, NLPL) with standards (CS-23, CS-25, etc.). Key differences in the certification process are shown: based on the comparison of the basic principles of the IAC and EASA models, a conclusion is made about the transparency, phasedness and differentiation of this system, the distinction between major and minor design changes, and the approval of DOA/POA organizations.
The regulatory evolution is considered: the adoption of the Air Code of Ukraine, the conclusion of the Association Agreement with the EU and the Common Aviation Area Agreement, which became the catalyst for the implementation of EASA standards (Part-21, Part-M, etc.). Using the example of type certification, the procedure for confirming compliance is described in detail: from application submission, documentation analysis and testing to the issuance of a type certificate. The responsibilities of the applicant, the competent authority (State Aviation Service of Ukraine), the manufacturer, the certificate holder, and the operators are emphasized.
The paper analyzes the requirements for typical designs, documentation, change approval, environmental standards, and continuing airworthiness programs. It shows the importance of institutional cooperation, participation of DOA/POA certified organizations, technical centers, and experts in the certification process.
The conclusion emphasizes that Ukraine is actively integrating into the international aviation system, demonstrating a consistent transition to EASA standards. This creates a basis for close cooperation, improving safety, expanding markets for aviation products, and attracting investmentKeywords
