Background 

In 2005, the Federal Aviation 

Administration instituted a project 

sequencing process to manage our 

limited resources to address both 

continued operational safety and 

certification project work. This SOP 

documents the process used for 

sequencing new certification and 

validation projects worked in its 

Aircraft Certification Offices (ACOs), 

Manufacturing Inspection District 

Offices (MIDOs), and Directorate 

Standards Staffs. All applications for 

new certification and validation projects 

requiring more than 40 hours of 

dedicated FAA work effort are 

prioritized, on a national basis, based 

primarily on the project’s impact on 

safety and availability of resources. The 

certification and validation programs 

include: Type certificate (TC), Amended 

Type Certificate (ATC), Supplemental 

Type Certificated ATC), Amended 

Supplemental Type Certificate (ASTC), 

Type Design Changes, Type Validation, 

when the FAA is the Validating 

Authority, and Parts Manufacturer 

Approval (PMA). Prior to 2005, the FAA 

accepted and committed to work all 

certification and validation projects in 

the order they were received, and 

frequently had to divert resources from 

activities supporting our safety mission 

to meet certification commitments. A 

means to manage resources such that 

applicants’ requests for services are 

properly balanced with the FAA’s 

primary mission of ensuring continued 

operational safety of the existing fleet is 

essential. The FAA is publishing the 

SOP to ensure transparency of the 

existing sequencing process and to
