certificate (however described) for an aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller that is issued by or for the national aviation authority of a recognised country and is equivalent to a supplemental type certificate that could have been issued by CASA (a foreign supplemental type certificate) is taken to have been issued by CASA for these Regulations.

21.115  Entitlement to supplemental type certificate—meeting applicable airworthiness requirements
 (1) An applicant is entitled to a supplemental type certificate if CASA is satisfied that:
 (a) either:
 (i) the altered aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller complies with the applicable airworthiness requirements mentioned in subregulations 21.101(1) and (2); or
 (ii) the altered aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller does not comply with the applicable airworthiness requirements mentioned in subregulations 21.101(1) and (2), but the non‑compliance is compensated for by factors that provide an equivalent level of safety; and
 (b) no feature or characteristic of the change in type design makes the altered aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller unsafe for its intended use.
 (2) Subregulation (3) applies if, under regulation 21.251, CASA authorises a relevant approved design organisation to determine whether the altered aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller meets:
 (a) an applicable airworthiness requirement mentioned in subparagraph (1)(a)(i); or
 (b) the requirement mentioned in paragraph (1)(b).
 (3) If the approved design organisation is satisfied that the altered aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller meets the requirement, the organisation may give CASA a certificate to that effect.
 (4) For subregulation (1), if an approved design organisation gives CASA a certificate under subregulation (3), CASA need consider only that certificate in deciding whether the altered aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller meets the requirement.
 (5) Regulations 21.033 (Inspection and tests) and 21.053 (Statement of conformity) apply in relation to the application, with respect to each change in the type design, as if it were an application for a type certificate under Subpart 21.B.

21.117  What supplemental type certificates are taken to consist of
  A supplemental type certificate is taken to consist of:
 (a) the type certificate or type acceptance certificate previously issued for the aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller; and
 (b) each change in the type design of the aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller described or identified in the supplemental type certificate.

21.118  Duration, suspension and cancellation of supplemental type certificates
 (1) A supplemental type certificate for an aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller remains in force until it is cancelled or the type certificate previously issued for the aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller is cancelled, whichever happens first.
 (2) Despite subregulation (1), a supplemental type certificate for an aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller is not in force during any period of suspension or
