Common use of Changes in Aircraft Certification Systems Clause in Contracts

Changes in Aircraft Certification Systems. (a) These Implementation Procedures are based upon sufficiently similar aircraft certification systems being in place at the time of signing. Therefore, the FAA and EASA shall keep each other informed of significant changes within those systems, such as changes in: (1) statutory responsibilities; (2) organizational structure (e.g., key personnel, management structure, technical training, office location); (3) airworthiness and environmental standards and procedures; (4) production quality control system oversight, including system oversight outside their territory; or (5) delegated or contracted functions or the kinds of organizations to which functions have been delegated or contracted. (b) Revision by the FAA, EASA or an AA to its regulations, airworthiness codes, policies, procedures, organizational structure, production quality control system oversight, or delegation system may affect the basis and the scope of these Implementation Procedures. Accordingly, upon notice of such changes by FAA or EASA, FAA or EASA may request a meeting to review the need for amendment to these Implementation Procedures.
