Appendix 2

2.2 In addition, aircraft must be eligible for the issue of a standard airworthiness certificate as prescribed in Subpart H of FAR Part 21 unless otherwise agreed by the DA.

3. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS.

3.1 This subject identifies those design requirements additional to the FAR certification basis which must be satisfied for a particular aircraft type to be eligible for Malaysian certification.

3.2 Additional Requirements for Malaysian certification are not specified for fixed wing aircraft:-

(a) below a maximum authorized weight of 2730 kg (6000 1bs).

(b) below a maximum authorized weight of 5700 kg (12500 lbs) when certification will not be applied for in the Malaysian Transport or Aerial Work Categories.

NOTE: Malaysian air navigation legislation requires the carriage of equipment on scales related to the purpose for which the aircraft is being flown. The aircraft commander is responsible for determining that an aircrait is properly equipped for any proposed flight.

3.3 For all aircraft other than those defined in paragraph 3.2 DCA may prescribe Additional Requirements. Details for any individual aircraft type will be supplied on written application; a limited type evaluation by the DCA may be required when no previous example has been certificated in Malaysia. Equipment required to be carried on flights for the purpose of public transport, to satisiy Malaysian air navigation legislation, will also be specified.

Additional Requirements need not necessarily be complied with before the Export Certificate of Airworthiness (FAA Form 8130-4) is issued. However, if the applicant for certification in Malaysia elects to satisfy any or all of the relevant Additional Requirements before the Certificate is issued, the Certificate must be endorsed in accordance with paragraph 4.4(b) of this document. In such cases the applicant shall notify the DCA to enable details of the Additional Requirements to be provided to the FAA or appropriate designee.
