Show the text

The term ‘changes to the type certificate’ is consistently used in Subparts D and E of Part 21 Light, as well as in the related AMC and GM. This term does not refer to changing the document that reflects the type certificate (TC) but to changing the elements of the TC as defined in point 21L.B.47(b). Therefore, the processes contained in Subparts D and E of Part 21 Light should be used for the approval of changes to the elements listed in point 21L.B.47(b).
