scope:

Purpose of This Notice. This notice supplements the procedures and requirements of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 8110.4, Type Certification. The alternatives to the procedures and requirements are based on applying risk based resource targeting (RBRT) to new type certification (TC), amended TC, supplemental type certification (STC), or amended STC projects for domestic, non-organizational delegation applicants. In the case of RBRT, an amended TC project is one where there is a model designation change or a new model under an existing TC. Major changes in type design incorporated by the holder of a TC or a STC into the design approval should be processed under the RBRT process for major changes to type design.
