Type Acceptance
The CAA has introduced a new process of type acceptance under MCAR-21 effective 25 June 2008. This process is essentially the validation of a foreign type certificate. A type acceptance certificate (TAC) is issued to at the end of the process to recognise that type certificate in the Maldives
All aircraft types must under go the type acceptance process for the first issue of an airworthiness certificate. Acceptance of the aircraft’s type certificate will imply acceptance of the associated engine and/or propeller type certificate.
Application
The regulatory requirements for type acceptance are specified in MCAR-21 Subpart B. This subpart also specifies the foreign type certificates that are eligible for a type acceptance certificate in the Maldives.
