Instructions for the use of the Aircraft Statement of Conformity EASA Form 52

1.   PURPOSE AND SCOPE

| 1.1. | Use of the aircraft Statement of Conformity issued by a manufacturer producing under Part 21 Section A Subpart F is described under 21A.130 and the corresponding acceptable means of compliance. |
| --- | --- |

1.1.

| 1.2. | The purpose of the aircraft Statement of Conformity (EASA Form 52) issued under Part 21 Section A Subpart G is to enable the holder of an appropriate production organisation approval to exercise the privilege to obtain an individual aircraft certificate of airworthiness from the competent authority of the Member State of registry. |
| --- | --- |

1.2.

2.   GENERAL

| 2.1. | The Statement of Conformity must comply with the format attached including block numbers and the location of each block. The size of each block may however be varied to suit the individual application, but not to the extent that would make the Statement of Conformity unrecognisable. If in doubt consult the competent authority. |
| --- | --- |

2.1.

| 2.2. | The Statement of Conformity must either be pre-printed or computer generated but in either case the printing of lines and characters must be clear and legible. Pre-printed wording is permitted in accordance with the attached model but no other certification statements are permitted. |
| --- | --- |

2.2.

| 2.3. | Completion may be either machine/computer printed or hand-written using block letters to permit easy reading. English, and where relevant, one or more of the official language(s) of the issuing Member State are acceptable. |
| --- | --- |

2.3.

| 2.4. | A copy of the Statement and all referenced attachments are to be retained by the approved production organisation. |
| --- | --- |

2.4.

3.   COMPLETION OF THE STATEMENT OF CONFORMITY BY THE ORIGINATOR

| 3.1. | There should be an entry in all blocks to make the document a valid statement. |

| --- | --- |

3.2.

| 3.3. | The information required in blocks 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 may be by reference to separate identified documents held on file by the production organisation, unless the competent authority agrees otherwise. |
| --- | --- |

3.3.

| 3.4. | This Statement of Conformity is not intended to include those items of equipment that may be required to be fitted in order to satisfy applicable operational rules. However, some of these individual items may be included in block 10 or in the approved type design. Operators are therefore reminded of their responsibility to ensure compliance with the applicable operational rules for their own particular operation. |
| --- | --- |

A copy of the flight test report together with any recorded defects and rectification details should be kept on file by the POA holder. The report should be signed as satisfactory by the appropriate certifying staff and a flight crew member, e.g. test pilot or flight test engineer. The flight tests performed are those defined under the control of the quality system, as established by 21A.139 in particular 21A.139(b)(1)(vi), to ensure that the aircraft conforms with the applicable design data and is in condition for safe operation.

The listing of items provided (or made available) to satisfy the safe operation aspects of this statement should be kept on file by the POA holder.
