A type certificate is required to ensure the safety of aircraft design. If a person is to pursue major design change to the certified aircraft, an applicant has to apply for a new type certificate, an amended type certificate, or a supplemental type certificate appropriately. Design changes to be applied for a supplemental type certificate are abstractly defined in ICAO, FAA, and EASA regulations. In this paper, authors reviewed certification procedures regarding design changes, analysed certification examples of leading countries, and presented the criteria to determine "major design changes not extensive" for a supplemental type certificate.

The system needs to be modified to improve the performance of the aircraft in operation or to satisfy the requirements of related laws. Appropriate standards are required for the technical skills for remodeling the aircraft system, design verification for airworthiness of the aircraft, and supplemental type certification (STC) certification procedures for type certification. This study analyzes the current status and demand of domestic aircraft remodeling, examines the current supplementary type certification procedure, and diagnoses the problem. In addition, as a result of researching measures to improve remodeling technology and certification capabilities to extend the life of the aircraft, improvements in the education system were derived to improve the domestic additional type certification process, such as approval of remodeling agencies and appointment of qualifications for each professional technician.

The interest about the installation and certification for miscellaneous non-required electrical equipment is being increased in the domestic aviation industries. In this paper, the minimum applicable requirements in Airworthiness Standard and the acceptable means of compliance which can be applied to installation and certification for miscellaneous non-required electrical equipment is being researched. As a case study, galley certification procedures are presented by electrical load analysis, installation of warning devices and installation requirements.

This study derived a reverse engineering procedure for verifying the design identity of original parts and developed parts for PMA(Parts Manufacturer Approval) and STC(Supplemental Type Certificate) of metal brake pads for transport aircraft, which are critical parts among aircraft parts and equipment. In Korea, the regulations for reverse engineering procedures are regulated by the Parts Manufacturer Approval Guidelines, and in the United States, AC No. 21. 303-4. In the reverse engineering for the brake pad, the detailed procedures for each component were determined by selecting verification test items to confirm identity based on sample quantity, dimensional tolerance, mechanical property measurement, material, weight and volume characteristics for each component. In addition, as a result of analyzing the regulation of Korea and United States, in the case of Korea, it is necessary to establish technical standards for braking systems for transport aircraft and regulations related to flight tests.

In this study, the aircraft technical standards of the Korea and the United States were analyzed to derive the dynamometer test procedure required to prove the compatibility for flight test certification of the metal brake pad for transport aircraft. Since the design modification of the brake systems is classified as a major change, the STC(Supplemental Type Certificate) and the PMA(Parts Manufacturer Approval) are required. In accordance with the TSO-C135a, the technical standard order for brake system in the United States, the design landing-stop test, accelerate-stop test, and most severe landing stop test were selected among the test items for flight test. The conditions for the dynamometer test are determined according to the specifications provided by aircraft manufacturer, and the brake pad condition, deceleration, and the number of test are defined according to the TSO-C135a.

This paper presents a study on the design and structural substantiation of the interior structure of the new VVIP aircraft. In this study, the structural design and analysis of the compartment with aluminum alloy and sandwich composite panel were performed. The structural design requirements from the Federal Aviation Administration were identified. The structural analysis of the compartment was performed by the utilization of the finite element analysis method, for the structural design process. Therefore, the designed cabin compartment secured the structural integrity, and satisfied its certification standards and design requirements via structural analysis.

In this study, the flight test measurement data and flight test items for metal-based brake pads for transport aircraft were derived through the analysis of Korea and the U.S. aviation-related regulations, technical standards and airworthiness standards. During the flight test, the measurement items should be measured at all times, such as aircraft altitude, speed, aircraft condition, wind direction, wind speed, and air-temperature. The flight test items of the brake pad should be quantitatively evaluated for stopping performance during landing, fuse plug integrity, stopping performance at reject take-off situations, anti-skid compatibility during landing and parking brake capability. Additionally, qualitative evaluation of the flight test pilot's aircraft steering characteristics under each test condition is required. The identification of risk factors for each test item and measures to mitigate risk factors must be approved in advance before the flight test, and the risk factors must be reevaluated to maintain suitability for the flight test during the flight test, and the results must be documented.
