Production of Products, Parts, and Appliances

This chapter discusses the Production of products, parts, and appliances. Production is intended to relate to products (aircraft, engines, and propellers), parts, and appliances (JTSO/ETSO articles, JPA parts, and other parts) 2 and changes in type-design certificated as Supplemental type certificates (STCs). JAR 21/EASA Part 21 provides two options as regards the Production Organization: Production Organization Approval (POA) according to Subpart G and Production without POA according to Subpart F. The holder of a POA, on the basis of the POA privileges, may obtain a certificate of airworthiness on presentation of a statement of conformity, with no further showing. The Production Oversight Coordinator (POC) nominate a team leader or members to carry out the investigation process. The composition and size of the basic investigation team can consist of only the team leader but may vary and is dependent on the features of the Organization.
