Foreword to Volume I1 . This volume of the Airworthiness Manualoutlinesthe obligations of the State of Registry and the State of theOperator under the Convention on International CivilAviation on matters related to airworthiness. It providesdetailed guidance on the establishment and operation of anairworthiness organization within the State Civil AviationAuthority with emphasis on the aircraft inspection division(AID) and the aircraft engineering division (AED). It alsocovers the procedures for the issuance, renewal andvalidation of Certificates of Airworthiness, as weil asprocedures which may be used to issue Type Certificates foraircraft and aircraft components. Considerable emphasis isplaced on the detailed procedures to be utilized by the Stateof the Operator for the approval of the operator’smaintenance and reliability programmes, and on operatormaintenance certification, as a requirement for the issuanceof an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and the surveillanceof operations following the issuance of the AOC.Aircraft (Doc 9388) has been developed to assist Statesin the development of regulations suitable for their needsand which, if implemented, would fulfil their obligationsunder the Convention.of5 . In this manual, the term “State” refers to the basicauthority which normally establishes a Civil AviationAuthority which has a “Director” with power to exerciseauthority, under the laws of the State, over civil aviationmatters. The term “operator” as used in Chapter 6 isconsidered to be a civil commercial air transportationorganization.6. It is recognized that in some cases it may not befeasible for a State, due to the limited scale of aviationoperations or lack of technical and economic resources, toestablish and maintain the full airworthiness organization itneeds to meet its international ,obligations. This problemmay be particularly acute for some States in respect of theirobligation to assess and approve or disapprove themaintenance programme of an operator utilizing large andcomplex aircraft. A State finding itself in this positionshould not in any way diminish the stringency of itsregulations; however, it is essential that the State eitherenter into an agreement with another Contracting State toassist it with the detailed tasks, or obtain the services, on atemporary basis, of qualified inspectors from the State ofManufacture or another State fully experienced in the matterin question. The ICAO Regional Office accredited to theState may be of assistance to the Director in working outcooperative inspection arrangements.2 . The major content of this volume was developedfrom the Manual of Procedures for an AirworthinessOrganization (Doc 9389). The content of this volume wasreviewed by the Continuing Airworthiness Panel during aWorking Group meeting in Paris from 15 to 19 March 1999.It was noted that although the material was consistent withthe current issues of Annexes 6 and 8 there was a need tofurther amend the material, particularly the chapters relatingto an airworthiness organization, to reflect current practice.3. With respect to the issuance of an AOC, thecontent of Chapter 6 is complementary to the Manual ofProcedures for Operations Inspection, Certification andContinued Surveillance (Doc 8335).7. Comments on this manual, particularly with regardto its application and usefulness, would be appreciated fromall States, safety oversight audit missions and ICAOtechnical cooperation field missions. These will be takeninto consideration in the preparation of subsequent editions.Comments should be addressed to:4. Although throughout this manual suggestions areprovided concerning the need for various Stateairworthiness regulations, no attempt has been made toformulate specific regulations. It is recognized, however,that a number of States, particularly those which are stili inthe early stages of establishing an effective civil aviationorganization, do require assistance in developing a body ofappropriate airworthiness regulations.

Chapter 1AIRWORTHINESS RESPONSIBILITIESOF THE STATEessential respects with the type design certificated inaccordance with the airworthiness code it has adopted forthat class of aircraft. Furthermore, the State of Registry hasthe responsibility of ensuring that every aircraft on itsregister is maintained in an airworthy condition throughoutits service life. Although the methods of discharging theforegoing State airworthiness responsibilities may vary, andin some cases may involve the transfer of certain tasks toauthorized organizations or other States, such arrangementsdo not relieve the State of Registry from its overallresponsibility.1.1 OBLIGATIONS UNDERTHE CONVENTION1.I .1 The Convention on International Civil Aviationprovides that every aircraft of a Contracting State, engagedin international navigation, shall carry a certificate ofregistration and a Certificate of Airworthiness (Article 29).It also provides that the Certificate of Airworthiness shall beissued or rendered valid by the State in which the aircraft isregistered (Article 3 i). Furthermore, the Conventionrequires that Contracting States recognize as valid theCertificate of Airworthiness issued or rendered valid by theState of Registry provided that the requirements underwhich the certificate was issued or rendered valid are equalto or above the minimum standards which may beestablished by ICAO (Article 33).1.2 DISCHARGE OFSTATE RESPONSIBILITIES1.2.1 In order to discharge its overall responsibilitiesunder the Convention, the State needs to enact basiclegislation which will provide for the development andpromulgation of civil air regulations and practices,including airworthiness regulations, consistent with itsacceptance of the Annexes. In the development of theseregulations, the State has the option of adopting provisionswhich will govern its role in the implementation of theregulations; this role may range from highly active topassive.The minimum airworthiness standards referredto above are contained in Annex 8 to the Convention. As aresult of the policy approved by the ICAO Council in 1956,the technical specifications in Annex 8 include only broadstandards which define, for application by competent Stateauthorities, the complete international basis for therecognition by States of Certificates of Airworthiness forthe purpose of flight of aircraft of other States into or overtheir territories. The minimum standards contained inAnnex 8 are supplemented by guidance material publishedin Volume II, Part A of this manual.1.1.21.2.2 In the active role, a close day-to-day interestwould be taken in the direction and control of allairworthiness matters through an inspection organization. Inthe passive role, the State would intervene only to instituteproceedings or investigatory action when a violation of theregulations has occurred. In practice, neither of theseextremes would be compatible w
