CAA representative. Each change to a part should be approved by the CAA and the manufacturer should identify such change on the drawing. The manufacturer should keep a record of each change with its date of CAA approval. [CAM 1 Rev., 21 F. R. 8805, Nov. 14, 1956]

§ 1.55-2 Replacement and modification parts; inspection approval (CAA policies which apply to § 1.55). (a) The request, in duplicate, for a fabrication inspection system approval, together with evidence of design approval, should be submitted to the appropriate regional office or to the local CAA agent (letter form). The request should list the nomenclature of the part, part number, manufacturer's name, and model of the type certificated product for which the part has been approved for installation.

(b) Prior to the approval of the fabrication inspection system Approval Tag, Form ACA-186, will be used by the CAA representative, not to exceed six months, as evidence of inspection approval. After the inspection system is approved, the manufacturer must indicate on the part or package of small parts, evidence that they were produced under an approved inspection system. The symbol "CAA-PMA" is evidence that the part(s) has been manufactured under a CAA-Parts Manufacturer Approval.

(c) Each part or package shipped should be accompanied by approved installation drawings or specifications, where applicable, to assure that the installation will conform to the basic approval.

(d) Each part manufactured or modified shall be marked with such of the following data as the Administrator finds appropriate:

(1) Manufacturer's or modifier's name, trade-mark or symbol. The trade-mark or symbol should be filed with the CAA and will be included on the supplemental type certificates and approved replacement parts listing.

(2) Part number.

(3) Name and model designation of the type certificated product(s) for which the part is eligible for installation, or if impractical, a tag should be attached to the part indicating installation eligibility information.

(e) If the Administrator finds that the fabrication inspection system cannot be approved or that parts manu

factured or modified subsequent to the approval of the inspection system repeatedly contain significant discrepancies, the installation of parts on certificated products in either case may be restricted until satisfactory corrective action is initiated by the manufacturer.

(f) The approval of a fabrication inspection system will be evidenced by a letter from the Chief, Manufacturing Inspection Branch to the manufacturer. The letter of approval is not transferable and will be surrendered to the CAA upon written request.

§ 1.55-4 Surveillance of inspection system (CAA policies which apply to § 1.55). (a) The assigned Aviation Safety Agent will use §§ 1.55-1 through 1.55-3 as a guide in conducting inspection of the manufacturing facilities. If the manufacturer's facilities are found acceptable by evaluating the results of the inspection system and as reflected in the quality and workmanship of the finished parts, the inspection system should be approved. The CAA thereafter will reduce its inspection surveillance and increase its reliance on the manufacturer's inspection system in the determination of the acceptability of future parts.

(1) The CAA representative will conduct periodic inspections of the manufacturer's facilities; make such spot inspections of individual parts as may be necessary to ascertain that the manufacturing facilities and inspection system continuously complies with the standards set forth in §§ 1.55-1 through 1.553; that the individual parts conform to the approved design data; that fabrication processes and treatments are in compliance with pertinent specifications; and that the quality of workmanship and materials are acceptable.

(2) Drawings and other technical data maintained in the place of manufacture should be made available by the manufacturer to the CAA representative to enable him to ascertain that the finished part conforms to applicable requirements and current design data.

(3) If the manufacturer's inspection system is not considered acceptable as evidenced by significant discrepancies found in the finished parts, the issuance of the fabrication inspection system ap

proval will be deferred until necessary corrective action has been taken.

(4) Upon approval of the inspection system, the manufacturer may nominate one or more employees for appointment as Designated Manufacturing Inspection Representative, in accordance with Part 418 of this title (Regulations of the Administrator). If the nominee meets the requirements for appointment, he will be authorized by the CAA to issue certificates of airworthiness for export for the finished parts which conform to the type design data, to conduct station and conformity inspections, and to make such additional examinations and inspections as may be necessary to ascertain that the parts are safe for installation on certificated products. Such authorization is limited to the manufacturing plant in which the designee is employed. [CAM 1 Rev., 21 F. R. 8806, Nov. 14, 1956]

AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATES

§ 1.60 Application. Any U. S. citizen may apply for issuance of an airworthiness certificate for an aircraft provided that he is the registered owner of the aircraft or his agent. The application for an airworthiness certificate shall be made upon a form and in a manner prescribed by the Administrator.

§ 1.60-1 "Registered owner" (CAA interpretations which apply to § 1.60). The term "registered owner of the aircraft," as used in § 1.60, means the person listed on the official CAA register as the owner of the aircraft. Part 501 of this title (regulations of the Administrator), sets forth the rules and procedures concerning aircraft registration certificates).

[CAM 1 Rev., 21 F. R. 8806, Nov. 14, 1956]

§ 1.60-2 Application form (CAA rules which apply to § 1.60). Application for an airworthiness certificate shall be made by completing Form ACA-305, Application for Airworthiness Certificate and/or Annual Inspection of an Aircraft, original only, and submitting it to the local CAA Aviation Safety field representative. (Application forms, Form ACA-305, are available from all CAA regional and district offices, and Designated Manufacturing Inspection Representatives.)

[CAM 1 Rev., 21 F. R. 8806, Nov. 14, 1956]

§ 1.60-3 Processing application (CAA policies which apply to § 1.60) — (a) Application requirements. (1) The CAA

will not require the applicant for a Certificate of Airworthiness to show legal evidence that he is a U. S. citizen and the owner of the aircraft, nor will his agent be required to furnish such evidence. The certifying statement made upon the application, Form ACA-305, will be accepted as satisfying the citizenship and ownership requirements of § 1.60.

(2) However, at the time the aircraft is presented for the airworthiness inspection, a current registration certificate executed in the name of the applicant must be displayed in the aircraft. Failure to present a current registration certificate will be considered an incomplete application and cause for rejection of the application. There are three types of registration certificates, any one of which will be considered acceptable for the purpose of indicating that the aircraft is currently registered. The three types of registration certificates acceptable are:

(b) The permanent type. Part A of Form ACA-500 is the permanent registration certificate. This certificate is the one returned to the registered owner from the Aircraft Records Branch, Washington, D. C. The certificate will have been validated by the Washington office of the CAA and is current as of the date of issue shown on the form.

(c) The temporary type. This certificate is the original of Part B of Form ACA-500. This form is completed by the applicant and displayed in the aircraft in accordance with instructions furnished with the form. The duration of this certificate is set forth in item 5 of the certificate.

(d) Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate. A current Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate, Form ACA-1707, is recognized as a current registration certificate for the purpose of making application for an airworthiness certificate. (Dealers' aircraft registration certificates are described and provided for in Part 502 of this title (regulations of the Administrator).)

(e) CAA procedure. During the course of the inspection, the CAA representative conducting the airworthiness inspection will indicate on the Aircraft Inspection Report, Form ACA-305a, which is forwarded to Washington, the type of registration certificate displayed in the aircraft. This information will be compared with the official registration rec

ords in Washington to determine if the applicant is the official registered owner. Discrepancies involving official registration will be brought to the attention of the registered owner by the Washington office.
