The type certificate data sheet will provide information concerning the Certification Basis for the aircraft which could be used to determine if the Aircraft has 1) a required flight manual 2) Instructions for Continued Airworthiness. Which statement is correct?

• A. Only 2
• B. Both 1 and 2
• C. Only 1
• D. Neither

Answer: (B)

The Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) lists the Certification Basis used to approve the aircraft, and it also identifies documents that are part of the approved type design. If the certification basis requires a flight manual, the TCDS will indicate that a flight manual is required, so you can determine its necessity from the data sheet. It also points to the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness, which cover the maintenance, inspections, and airworthiness limitations that must be followed to keep the aircraft in compliance as part of the type design. Because the TCDS provides information on both the required operating document (the flight manual) and the continued airworthiness documentation (the ICA), both items can be determined from it.
