Within Department of Civil Aviation Myanmar, Airworthiness Division (AWD) is established to perform the functions of Aircraft Inspection Division (AID). Up to now, being Myanmar doesn't have Aircraft and Aircraft Parts Design and Manufacturing Organization, Aircraft Engineering Division (AED) has not been established in Airworthiness Division. Some functions of AED related to continuing airworthiness are assigned to one AWD inspector who is engineering graduated and has completed Safety Oversight Inspector (Engineering) course.
The AWD is headed by a Director and is responsible for the airworthiness control of aircraft registered and/or operated in Myanmar, recommendation to issue of certificates of registration, maintaining the national registry of civil aircraft, recommendation to issue of certificates of airworthiness, inspection and certification of maintenance organization, conducting of operator certification inspections related to airworthiness in cooperation with the Flight Standards Division, Recommendation to cancel or revoke and amend or suspend the airworthiness related Approvals and Certificates.
Compliance with ICAO annexes 6, 7, 8 & 16
Surveillance of Approved Maintenance Organization
Participate in Accident / Incident Investigation if required
Participate as the examiner on aircraft maintenance engineers examinations
In the case of legal documents such as Type Certificate associated with related reports, Certificates of Airworthiness, Licences and Authorization, correct translation into English must be authenticated by the appropriate authority of the country of origin.
Prior to issue of a C of R and C of A for certain foreign manufactured aeroplanes which is the first of its type and Rotor craft or an Airship or Balloon, DCA may decide that a technical team will visit the manufacturer or the last owner to evaluate the aircraft for compliance with Myanmar Requirements.
Any person /organization who wish to possess/operate the aircraft and decide to import and register any aircraft in Myanmar shall follow these steps :
Apply for allocation of registration marks to DCA
Submit Application for Certificate of Registration, CA form 56 together with the prove documents as specified in MCAR part 47 to DCA.
DCA will issue a certificate of registration upon meeting all the requirements for Registration specified in MCAR part 47.
Applicant must require for the Arrangement of Continuing Airworthiness Management of intended aircraft.
Based on type of the aircraft Applicant must require the Arrangement of Maintenance for intended aircraft.
Submit Application for Certificate of Airworthiness, CA form 62 together with the prove documents detailed in Airworthiness Notices A/10 to DCA.
A Modification to an aeronautical product means a change to the type design which is not a repair. A modification can be classified as Major and Minor. Major modification means a type design change not list in the aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller specifications that might appreciable affect the mass, balance, structural strength, performance, power plant operation, flight characteristics, noise, fuel venting or other characteristics affecting the airworthiness of the product, or that will be embodied in the product using non-standard practices. A minor modification means a modification other than a major modification.
A repair to an aeronautical product means a design change intended to restore it to an airworthy condition after it has been damage or subject to wear. A major repair means a design change which is intended to restore an aeronautical product to an airworthy condition where the damage being repaired might appreciably affect the structure strength, performance, power plant operation, flight characteristics, or other qualities affecting airworthiness or environmental characteristics or that will be embodied in the product using non-standard practices. A minor repair means a repair other than a major repair. Classification of Major and Minor modification / repair are described in Appendix of Airworthiness Notices A/4.
Component manufacturer’s manuals or instructions, unless specifically not approved or resulting in an alternation to the airframe, engine, and/or propeller.
All aircraft on the Civil Register of Myanmar shall be weighed when they are initially issued with a Certificate of Airworthiness.
Aircraft, the Maximum Total Weight Authorized of which exceeds 5700 kg, shall be reweighed within two years after the date of manufacture, and subsequent check weighing shall be made at intervals not exceeding five years, and at such times as the Department of Civil Aviation may require or at intervals specified in the Approved Maintenance Schedule or Approved Maintenance Program for that particular aircraft.
Aircraft weighing shall be carried out under the control of a person authorized by an Approved Maintenance Organization. (Note._ Authorized person should have been adequately trained for the weighing purpose and has had adequate recent practical experience of the duties to be performed.) Aircraft shall be weighed on scales of a type approved. Each weighing scale shall have been calibrated by the manufacturer or manufacturer’s authorized firm within a period of one year prior to weighing any aircraft. Sufficient personnel and equipment, including scales shall be provided to satisfactorily carry out the weighing. The aircraft weighing intervals and weighing procedures are more detail described in Airworthiness Notices A/7.
