CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
OVERVIEW
How Does the FAA Certify Aircraft?
The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA)
Aircraft Certification Service includes more than
1,300 engineers, scientists, inspectors, test
pilots and other safety professionals. They are
responsible for oversight of design, production,
airworthiness certification, and continued airwor-
thiness programs for nearly all U.S. civil aviation
products: large and small airplanes, rotorcraft,
engines, and propellers and foreign import prod-
ucts. The FAA collaborates with the International
Civil Aviation Organization and other civil aviation
authorities to maintain and advance the safety of
international air transportation.
The Certification Process
The FAA’s aircraft certification processes are well established and have consistently assured safe
aircraft designs. As part of any certification project, we conduct the following:
• A review of any proposed designs and the methods that will be used to show that these
designs and the overall airplane complies with FAA regulations;
• Ground tests and flight tests to demonstrate that the airplane operates safely;
• An evaluation of the airplane’s required maintenance and operational suitability for
introduction of the airplane into service; and
• Collaboration with other civil aviation authorities on their approval of the aircraft for import.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Reposing special trust and
confidence in the integrity, diligence,
and discretion of designees who have
been found to have the necessary
knowledge, skill, experience, interest, and
impartial judgement to merit special
public responsibility.

AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATION OVERVIEW
AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATION PROCESS
What is an airworthiness certificate?
An airworthiness certificate is an FAA document which grants authorization to operate an aircraft in flight.
Who may apply for an airworthiness certificate?
A registered owner or owner’s agent of an aircraft may apply for an airworthiness certificate.
Are there different classifications of airworthiness certificates?
Yes. There are two different classifications of FAA airworthiness certificates: Standard Airworthiness Certificate,
and Special Airworthiness Certificate.
What is an ODA?
Federal law authorizes the FAA to delegate to a qualified individual or organization the ability to conduct certain
activities on behalf of the agency. In recent successive Acts, Congress directed FAA to streamline certification,
including increased delegation to Organizational Designation Authorizations (ODA).
FAA has never allowed companies to police themselves or self-certify their aircraft. With strict FAA oversight,
delegation extends the rigor of the FAA certification process to other recognized professionals, thereby
multiplying the technical expertise focused on assuring an aircraft meets FAA standards. The agency remains
directly involved in the testing and certification of any new and novel features and technologies.
The FAA requires several basic steps to obtain an airworthiness certificate in either the Standard or Special class.
The FAA may issue an applicant an airworthiness certificate when:
• Registered owner or operator/agent registers aircraft,
• Applicant submits application to the local FAA servicing office, and
• FAA determines the aircraft is eligible and in a condition for safe operation
Applications for an airworthiness certificate can be submitted either of two ways:

Your local FAA servicing office can provide direct guidance and information to assist you in meeting your
airworthiness interests. It is best to contact your local FAA office for direct guidance immediately after you
register your aircraft.
