Issue, renewal, etc., of certificates of airworthiness

7.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), the Department shall issue in respect of any aircraft a certificate of airworthiness if it is satisfied that the aircraft is fit to fly having regard to—

(a)the design, construction, workmanship and materials of the aircraft (including in particular any engines fitted therein), and of any equipment carried in the aircraft which it considers necessary for the airworthiness of the aircraft; and

(b)the results of flying trials, and such other tests of the aircraft as it may require.

(2) If the Department has issued a certificate of airworthiness in respect of an aircraft which, in its opinion, is a prototype aircraft or a modification of a prototype aircraft, it may dispense with flying trials in the case of any other aircraft if it is satisfied that it conforms to such prototype or modification.

(3) Every certificate of airworthiness shall specify the category “Private” and the certificate shall be issued subject to the condition that the aircraft shall be flown only for the purposes (which shall not include public transport or aerial work) specified in the certificate.

(4) The Department may issue a certificate of airworthiness subject to such other conditions relating to the airworthiness of the aircraft as it thinks fit.

(5) The Department may issue a certificate of validation rendering valid for the purposes of this Order a certificate of airworthiness issued in respect of any aircraft registered elsewhere than in the Isle of Man under the law of any country other than the Isle of Man.

(6) Nothing in this Order obliges the Department to accept an application for the issue of a certificate of airworthiness or certificate of validation or for the variation or renewal of any such certificate when the application is not supported by such reports from such persons approved under article 70 as the Department may specify (either generally or in a particular case or class of cases).
