CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY REGULATIONS 1998 - REG 21.029C

  (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).
