Aircraft Certification Toolset (ACT)
## Module overview Basic Module (BM) Advanced Module (AM) Specific Modules (SM1...)
## Basic module (BM) Suport certification activities for 1 - 2 aircraft types with planning, documents and risk analysis within one type certification data sheet for * complete certification of the aircraft type * certification of major design changes * certification of minor design changes
## Advanced module (AM) extended ACT scope: for more than 2 aircraft types additional ACT functions certification of significant major design changes with changes in the type certification data sheet
## Specific modules - specific functions additional functions * Specifics U.S. * Specifics Canada * Specifics Brasil * Specifics China * Specifics Indonesia
Description Basic module
* Certification Specification (e.g. CS-27) * Certification basis * Compliance Record Book per Aircraft Type * Compliance Record Sheet per ATA Chapter * Certification Program per ATA Chapter * per aircraft type, ATA Chapter - Compliance Check List - Compliance Document/Data Status Report - Means of Compliance List
## Benefits of the Basic module (BM) * Texts, formulae and images completely digitized * Requirements, interpretations cross linked * Any text phrase found with 2 Actions (Click, fulltext-, metasearch) * Display, selection of requirements per pre-selected criteria * automatic plan, document and data generation
## Certification Specification Database of Airworthiness Regulations and interpretations * EASA CS-27 * 14 CFR Part 27 * each regulation is identified down to the 6th sub level [<span style="font-size: 1em; color: Tomato;"><i class="fas fa-file-pdf"></i></span> CS 27.25](CS_27_0_25_25.pdf) [<span style="font-size: 1em; color: Tomato;"><i class="fab fa-html5"></i></span>CS 27.25](CS_27_0_27_25.html) [<span style="font-size: 1em; color: Tomato;"><i class="fas fa-file-pdf"></i></span> CS 27.1401](CS_27_0_27_1401.pdf) [<span style="font-size: 1em; color: Tomato;"><i class="fab fa-html5"></i></span>CS 27.1401](CS_27_0_27_1401.html)
## Certification basis * completely machine readable, cross linked, searchable database of airworthiness regulations * customized using the applicable type certification data sheet * only applicable airworthiness regulations, special conditions displayed
## Selection criteria for airplanes * Airworthiness Classification * Airworthiness Certification level * Approved Operation * Aircraft Category * Aircraft Weight * Number of engines, seats * Landing Gear Type
## Selection criteria for rotorcraft * Airworthiness Classification * Approved Operation * Aircraft Category * Aircraft Weight * Number of engines, seats
## Example airplane Cessna 150 [<span style="font-size: 1em; color: Tomato;"><i class="fab fa-html5"></i></span>Cessna 150](Cessna_150.html)

## SM 2 - Canadian Validation by Transport Canada * Requirement Pair Analysis (Significant Standard Differences (SSD), non-SSD) * Analysis of Acceptance without further involvement * Analysis of Validation Items using level of involvement definitions
## SM 3 - Brazilian Validation by ANAC * Requirement Pair Analysis (Significant Standard Differences (SSD), non-SSD) * Analysis of Acceptance without further involvement * Analysis of Validation Items using level of involvement definitions
## SM 4 - Chinese Validation by CAAC * Requirement Pair Analysis (Significant Standard Differences (SSD), non-SSD) * Analysis of Acceptance without further involvement * Analysis of Validation Items using level of involvement definitions
## SM 5 - Indonesian Validation by DGAC Indonesia * Requirement Pair Analysis (Significant Standard Differences (SSD), non-SSD) * Analysis of Acceptance without further involvement * Analysis of Validation Items using level of involvement definitions
ACT Implementation in stages
* to minimize cost and time * actively involve the customer * Stage 1 "initiate ACT" * Stage 2 "define ACT" * Stage 3 "develop and implement basic module" * Stage 4 "test and feedback basic module" * Stage 5 "ACT Final implementation"
## Stage 1 "initiate ACT" * stakeholders (intern, extern) * expected benefits - ROI * requested basic and extended services * requested specific services * interfaces to company IT systems * duration 1 month * free of charge
## Stage 2 "define ACT" * ACT framework definition * modules, inputs, outputs * duration 1 month * cost: man hours * starts 2 weeks after agreement
## Stage 3 "develop and implement basic module" * ACT basic module activation * duration 3 months * develop and implement * cost: fixed price with partial pre payment
## Stage 4 "test and feedback basic module" * ACT basic module test * duration 1 month * test + feedback * cost: man hours
## Stage 5 "ACT Final implementation" * ACT basic module final implementation * duration 1 month * test + feedback * cost: ACT final payment
