Chapter I.

METHOD OF PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING
CERTIFICATES OF AIRWORTHINESS FOR AIRCRAFT HEAVIER THAN AIR.

A certificate of airworthiness is delivered by the "Service
de la Navigation Aerienne" (S7N.Ae.), on presentation of a voucher

issued by the ”Service Technique de l'Aeronautique" (S.T.Aé.l, if

the aircraft is of a new type, or by the "Service des Eabrications
de l‘Aeronautique"(S.F.Ae.), if of a type previously accepted and
produced in quantity.

In order to obtain a certificate of airworthiness, the parties
concerned must proceed as follows:

New Aircraft Types.— The constructor of any new type of
aircraft must apply to the "Service Technique de l'Aeronautique,"
2, rue Jeanne d'Arc, Issy—les~Moulineaux. The S.T.Aé. makes all
static tests and checks the characteristics and performances of the
aircraft. .

Since the construction of a new aircraft type and of the cell
for static tests must be inspected and checked by the S.T.Aé., ap-
plication to the S.T.Aé. must be made before construction is begun.
The officials of the S.T.Aé. must be granted every facility for
checking and inspecting the work during construction.

When the tests have been completed, the S-T.Aé. reports the
result to the S.N.Aé.

The owner of the aircraft may then apply to the S.N.Aé., 2,

Boulevard Victor, Paris, for a certificate of airworthiness.

II. Aircraft of an Adopted Type.- The constructor of an air—
craft produced in quantity and having the characteristics of a type
accepted by the S.T.Aé. should get into touch with the "Service des
Fabrications de l'Aéronautique," 2, Boulevard Victor, Paris. The

S.F.Aé. undertakes to check the manufacture of the parts in the
a factory and_to stamp them. It also verifies the similitude be—
tween an aircraft of quantity production and its model, a simil—
itude certified by the constructor in a written statement. The
inspection carried out by the S.F.Ael exempts aircraft of accepted
type from tests previously undergone by the original specimen.
