Changes to a type-certificate are classified as minor and major. A ‘ minor change ’ has no appreciable effect on the mass, balance, structural strength, reliability, operational characteristics, operational suitability data, or other characteristics affecting the airworthiness of the product or its environmental characteristics. Without prejudice to point 21.A.19, all other changes are ‘ major changes ’ under this Subpart. Major and minor changes shall be approved in accordance with points 21.A.95 or 21.A.97, as appropriate, and shall be adequately identified.]
Only the type-certificate holder may apply for approval of a major change to a type-certificate under this Subpart; all other applicants for a major change to a type-certificate shall apply under Subpart E.
Any natural or legal person may apply for approval of a minor change to a type-certificate under this Subpart.]
An application for approval of a change to a type-certificate shall be made in a form and manner established by the [F42CAA].
An application shall include, or be supplemented after the initial application, a certification programme for the demonstration of compliance in accordance with point 21.A.20, consisting of:
a description of the change identifying:
the configuration(s) of the product in the type certificate upon which the change is to be made;
all areas of the product in the type-certificate, including the approved manuals, that are changed or affected by the change; and
when the change affects the operational suitability data, any necessary changes to the operational suitability data;
an identification of any reinvestigations necessary to demonstrate compliance of the change and areas affected by the change with the type-certification basis, operational suitability data certification basis and environmental protection requirements; and
for a major change to a type-certificate:
a proposal for the initial type-certification basis, operational suitability data certification basis and environmental protection requirements, prepared in accordance with the requirements and options specified in point 21.A.101;
a proposal for a breakdown of the certification programme into meaningful groups of compliance demonstration activities and data, including a proposal for the means of compliance and related compliance documents;
a proposal for the assessment of the meaningful groups of compliance demonstration activities and data, addressing the likelihood of an unidentified non-compliance with the type-certification basis, operational suitability data certification basis or environmental protection requirements and the potential impact of that non-compliance on product safety or environmental protection. The proposed assessment shall take into account at least the elements set out in subpoints (1)–(4) of point 21.B.100(a). Based on this assessment, the application shall include a proposal for the [F42CAA]'s involvement in the verification of the compliance demonstration activities and data; and
a project schedule including major milestones.
An application for a change to a type-certificate of a large aeroplane or a large rotorcraft shall be valid for five years and an application for a change to any other type-certificate shall be valid for three years. In the case where the change has not been approved, or it is evident that it will not be approved, within the time limit provided for in this point, the applicant may:
submit a new application for a change to the type-certificate and comply with the type-certification basis, operational suitability data certification basis and environmental protection requirements, as established by the [F42CAA] in accordance with point 21.A.101 and notified in accordance with point 21.B.105 for the date of the new application; or
[F43apply for an extension of the time period provided for in the first sentence of point (c) for the original application and propose a new date for the issuance of the approval. In that case, the applicant shall comply with the type-certification basis, operational suitability data certification basis and environmental protection requirements, as established by the [F42CAA] in accordance with point 21.A.101 and notified in accordance with point 21.B.105, for a date to be selected by the applicant. However, that date shall not precede the new date proposed by the applicant for the issuance of the approval by more than five years for an application for a change to type-certificate or restricted type-certificate for a large aeroplane or a large rotorcraft, and by more than three years for an application for any other change to type-certificate or restricted type certificate.]]

A major change to a type-certificate and areas affected by the change shall comply with either the certification specifications applicable to the changed product on the date of the application for the change or certification specifications which became applicable after that date in accordance with point (f) below. The validity of the application shall be determined in accordance with point 21.A.93(c). In addition, the changed product shall comply with the environmental protection requirements designated by the [F46CAA] in accordance with point 21.B.85.
By derogation from point (a), an earlier amendment to a certification specification referred to in point (a) and to any other certification specification which is directly related may be used in any of the following situations, unless the earlier amendment became applicable before the date at which the corresponding certification specifications incorporated by reference in the type-certificate became applicable:
a change that the [F46CAA] finds not to be significant. In determining whether a specific change is significant, the [F46CAA] shall consider the change in the context of all previous relevant design changes and all related revisions to the applicable certification specifications incorporated by reference in the type-certificate for the product. Changes meeting one of the following criteria shall automatically be considered significant:
the general configuration or the principles of construction are not retained;
the assumptions used for certification of the product to be changed do not remain valid;
each area, system, part or appliance that the [F46CAA] finds not affected by the change;
each area, system, part or appliance that is affected by the change for which the [F46CAA] finds that compliance with the certification specifications referred to in point (a) does not contribute materially to the level of safety of the changed product or is impractical.
By derogation from point (a), in the case of a change to an aircraft other than a rotorcraft of 2 722 kg (6 000 lb) or less maximum weight, or to a non-turbine rotorcraft of 1 361 kg (3 000 lb) or less maximum weight, the change and areas affected by the change shall comply with the type-certification basis incorporated by reference in the type-certificate. However, if the [F46CAA] finds that the change is significant in an area, the [F46CAA] may require that the change and areas affected by the change comply with an amendment to a certification specification of the type-certification basis incorporated by reference in the type-certificate and with any other certification specification which is directly related, unless the [F46CAA] also finds that compliance with that amendment does not contribute materially to the level of safety of the changed product or is impractical.
If the [F46CAA] finds that the certification specifications applicable on the date of the application for the change do not provide adequate standards with respect to the proposed change, the change and areas affected by the change shall also comply with any special conditions, and amendments to those special conditions, prescribed by the [F46CAA] in accordance with point 21.B.75, to provide a level of safety equivalent to that established by the certification specifications applicable on the date of the application for the change.
By derogation from points (a), (b) and (c), the change and areas affected by the change may comply with an alternative to a certification specification designated by the [F46CAA] if proposed by the applicant, provided that the [F46CAA] finds that the alternative provides a level of safety which is:
in the case of a type-certificate:
equivalent to that of the certification specifications designated by the [F46CAA] under (a), (b) or (c) above; or
compliant with the essential requirements of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139;
in the case of a restricted type-certificate, adequate with regard to the intended use.
If an applicant chooses to comply with a certification specification set out in an amendment that becomes applicable after submitting the application for a change to a type-certificate, the change and areas affected by the change shall also comply with any other certification specification which is directly related.
When the application for a change to a type-certificate for an aircraft includes, or is supplemented after the initial application to include, changes to the operational suitability data, the operational suitability data certification basis shall be established in accordance with points (a)-(f).]

The [F248CAA] shall determine its involvement in the verification of the compliance demonstration activities and data related to the application for a type-certificate, restricted type-certificate, major change approval, supplemental type certificate, major repair design approval or [F249UKTSO] authorisation for APU. It shall do so on the basis of an assessment of meaningful groups of compliance demonstration activities and data of the certification programme. That assessment shall address:
the likelihood of an unidentified non-compliance with the type-certification basis, operational suitability data certification basis or environmental protection requirements; and
the potential impact of that non-compliance on product safety or environmental protection,
and consider at least the following elements:
novel or unusual features of the certification project, including operational, organisational and knowledge management aspects;
complexity of the design and/or demonstration of compliance;
criticality of the design or technology and the related safety and environmental risks, including those identified on similar designs; and
performance and experience of the design organisation of the applicant in the domain concerned.
For the approval of a minor repair design, minor change or [F250UKTSO] authorisation other than for APU, the [F251CAA] shall determine its involvement at the level of the entire certification project, taking into account any novel or unusual features, complexity of the design and/or demonstration of compliance, criticality of the design or technology, as well as the performance and experience of the applicant's design organisation.
The [F252CAA] shall notify its level of involvement to the applicant and it shall update its level of involvement when this is warranted by information which has an appreciable impact on the risk previously assessed pursuant to point (a) or (b). The [F252CAA] shall notify the applicant about the change in the level of involvement.

This Appendix establishes the qualifications necessary for flight crew involved in the conduct of flight tests for aircraft certified or to be certified in accordance with CS-23 for aircraft with a maximum take-off mass (MTOM) of or above 2 000 kg, CS-25, CS-27, CS-29 or equivalent airworthiness codes.
‘ Flight test engineer ’ means any engineer involved in flight test operations either on the ground or in flight.
‘ Lead flight test engineer ’ means a flight test engineer assigned for duties in an aircraft for the purpose of conducting flight tests or assisting the pilot in the operation of the aircraft and its systems during flight test activities.
‘ Flight tests ’ mean:
flights for the development phase of a new design (aircraft, propulsion systems, parts and appliances);
flights to demonstrate compliance to certification basis or conformity to type design;
flights intended to experiment new design concepts, requiring unconventional manoeuvres or profiles for which it could be possible to exit the already approved envelope of the aircraft;
flight test training flights.
The descriptions below address the flights performed by design and production organisations under Annex I (Part 21).
If more than one aircraft is involved in a test, each individual aircraft flight shall be assessed under this Appendix to determine if it is a flight test and when appropriate, its category.
The flights referred to in point (6)(B)(3) are the only flights that belong to the scope of this Appendix.
Flights tests include the following four categories:
Category One (1)
Initial flight(s) of a new type of aircraft or of an aircraft of which flight or handling characteristics may have been significantly modified;
Flights during which it can be envisaged to potentially encounter flight characteristics significantly different from those already known;
Flights to investigate novel or unusual aircraft design features or techniques;
Flights to determine or expand the flight envelope;
Flights to determine the regulatory performances, flight characteristics and handling qualities when flight envelope limits are approached;
Flight test training for Category 1 flight tests.
Category Two (2)
Flights not classified as Category 1 on an aircraft whose type is not yet certified;
Flights not classified Category 1 on an aircraft of an already certified type, after embodiment of a not yet approved modification and which:
require an assessment of the general behaviour of the aircraft; or
require an assessment of basic crew procedures, when a new or modified system is operating or is needed; or
are required to intentionally fly outside of the limitations of the currently approved operational envelope, but within the investigated flight envelope;
Flight test training for Category 2 flight tests.
Category Three (3)
Flights performed for the issuance of statement of conformity for a new-built aircraft which do not require flying outside of the limitations of the type certificate or the aircraft flight manual.
Category Four (4)
Flights not classified as Category 1 or 2 on an aircraft of an already certified type, in case of an embodiment of a not yet approved design change.
Pilots and lead flight test engineers shall have the competences and experience specified in the following table.
Categories of flight tests | ||||

satisfy Competence level 1 or level 2; or
have gained a significant amount of flight experience relevant to the task; and
have participated in all flights that are part of the programme leading to the issuance of the individual certificate of airworthiness of at least five aircraft.
Lead flight test engineers shall receive an authorisation from the organisation that employs them detailing the scope of their functions within the organisation. The authorisation shall contain the following information:
name;
date of birth;
experience and training;
position in organisation;
scope of the authorisation;
date of first issue of the authorisation;
date of expiry of the authorisation, if appropriate; and
identification number of the authorisation.
Lead flight test engineers shall only be appointed for a specific flight if they are physically and mentally fit to safely discharge assigned duties and responsibilities.
The organisation shall make all relevant records related to authorisations available to their holders.]
Other flight test engineers on board the aircraft shall have an amount of experience and training commensurate with the tasks assigned to them as crew members, and in accordance with the flight test operations manual, when applicable.
The organisation shall make all relevant records related to their flight activities available to the relevant flight test engineer.]
