How long will it take me to get my CoA issued?

Rating: +0

Positive Negative

Some traps to avoid if possible in the CoA process:

* Aircraft has not had a detailed pre-purchase inspection.

* Legal ownership not 100% established.

* Aircraft not de-registered from its country of origin.

* Registration mark not reserved.

* Aircraft not registered in Australia (At the appropriate correct time)

* No Australian Type Acceptance Certificate.

* Type Certificate cancelled.

* Aircraft is a first of type or first of model in Australia.

* Application for CoA not submitted in a timely fashion

* Aircraft does not comply with Type Certificate Data Sheet.

* Aircraft does not comply with all country of original type certification Airworthiness Directives.

* Aircraft does not comply with all mandatory OEM Service Bulletins.

* All lifed items are not fully tracked and controlled.

* Log Books are missing or inaccurate. Ensure ALL log books are to hand. Without these and operational logs (Journey Logs) it will be impossible to ascertain an operating history and current technical status. It may also impact on service lives of components/structure.

* Australian Log Books not raised or alternate system approved and in place.

* Australian noise certificate not available.

* Maintenance staff and sub-contractors not adequately briefed on the project.

* System of Maintenance not revised or established.

* Not all drawings of modifications and major repairs are to hand.

* Aircraft Flight Manual missing or incomplete

* Modifications that might require assessment by CASA Engineering or a CAR 35 Engineer

* Electrical modifications incorporated without suitable Electrical Load Analysisbeing performed and documented.

* Aircraft reweigh report does not carry a detailed equipment listing

The above list is not exhaustive. Any one the above could cause delays during the CoA issue process and are to be avoided wherever possible as a delay means more cost in most cases. PTA cannot be held responsible for delays or costs incurred that are outside its control. Detailed CoA procedural instructions may be found in PTA's CoA Procedures Manual.
