Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations(1) CASA may refuse to issue a type acceptance certificate for an aircraft manufactured in a foreign country if:
(a) there are reasonable grounds for believing that issuing the certificate would constitute a significant threat to aviation safety; and
(b) CASA has consulted the applicant, the manufacturer of the aircraft and the national aviation authority that issued the foreign type certificate about the safety issues involved; and
(c) CASA has considered the views of the applicant, the manufacturer and the national aviation authority before deciding whether to issue the type acceptance certificate; and
(d) there are reasonable grounds for believing that issuing the certificate subject to conditions is not a practicable means of substantially reducing the threat to aviation safety and there are no other practicable means of substantially reducing the threat.
(2) If CASA refuses to issue a type acceptance certificate, CASA must deal with the application for the type acceptance certificate as if it were an application for a type certificate under regulation 21.029.
Note: The power of CASA to refuse to issue a type acceptance certificate must be exercised by the Director personally: see paragraph 11.260(2)(c).
