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
