21.127  Tests: aircraft
 (1) Each person manufacturing aircraft under a type certificate only must establish an approved production flight test procedure and flight check‑off form, and in accordance with that form, flight test each aircraft produced.
Penalty: 25 penalty units.
 (1A) An offence against subregulation (1) is an offence of strict liability.
Note: For strict liability, see section 6.1 of the Criminal Code.
 (2) Each production flight test procedure must include the following:
 (a) an operational check of the trim, controllability, or other flight characteristics to establish that the production aircraft has the same range and degree of control as the prototype aircraft;
 (b) an operational check of each part or system operated by the crew while in flight to establish that, during flight, instrument readings are within normal range;
 (c) a determination that all instruments are properly marked, and that all placards and required flight manuals are installed after flight test;
 (d) a check of the operational characteristics of the aircraft on the ground;

21.128  Tests: aircraft engines
 (1) Each person manufacturing aircraft engines that are not rocket engines under a type certificate only must subject each engine to an acceptable test run that includes the following:
 (a) break‑in runs that include a determination of fuel and oil consumption and a determination of power characteristics at rated maximum continuous power or thrust and, if applicable, at rated take‑off power or thrust;
 (b) at least five hours of operation at rated maximum continuous power or thrust, including, for engines having a rated take‑off power or thrust higher than rated maximum continuous power or thrust, 30 minutes at rated take‑off power or thrust.
Penalty: 25 penalty units.
 (2) The test runs required by subregulation (1)
