GM 21.A.33(d)  Inspections and tests    

CAA ORS9 Decision No. 1

The applicant should inform the CAA sufficiently in advance about the execution of inspections and tests that are used for compliance demonstration purposes unless the CAA has explicitly excluded these inspections and tests from its involvement according to 21.B.100.

Additionally, the applicant may propose to the CAA to perform or witness flight or other tests of particular aspects of the product during its development and before the type design is fully defined. However, before the CAA performs or witnesses any flight test, the applicant should have performed these tests already before the CAA and should ensure that no features of the product preclude the safe conduct of the evaluation requested.

The CAA may require any such tests to be repeated once the type design is fully defined to ensure that subsequent changes have not adversely affected the conclusions from any earlier evaluation.

A statement of conformity as per point 21.A.33(c) is also required for the above tests.
