Application for an Aerodrome Certificate

Introduction

Once all compliance demonstration has been completed including all Military Aerodrome Certification Review Items (MACRIs) approved, the applicant should start completing the application form for an Aerodrome Certificate. An application to DASA for an aerodrome certificate should use DASA Form – Application for Aerodrome Certificate (refer to Forms area below). The form along with the supporting documentation should be submitted via the DASA Aerodromes Group Mailbox for approval.

Aerodrome Continued Compliance and Continuing Safe Operation are also integral parts of Aerodrome Initial Certification. To be issued an Aerodrome Certificate by the Authority, the applicant must (amongst other things) implement arrangements to support continued aerodrome compliance with the Certification Basis (CB) and provide design information to support the continuing safe operation of the Aerodrome. Before an application is made these aspects should be completed.

What We Do

The DASA will be available to support the Applicant throughout the certification process and provide guidance and feedback where needed. This will reduce the likelihood of an application being incomplete at the time of submission. If sufficiently satisfied compliance has been demonstrated after review of the application and supporting evidence (including Evidence of arrangements to support continued compliance with the Authority-agreed CB and Evidence of arrangements to manage design information to support continuing safe flight operations), the DASA will be able to award an aerodrome certificate.

The DASA will review, on a non-exhaustive basis, the compliance evidence and information and procedures associated with both the continued aerodrome compliance and continuing safe of operation of the aerodrome before issuing an aerodrome certificate. Upon becoming aware of any non-compliance, the applicant and/or the Aerodrome Operator should bring this to the attention of the DASA as it as it has the potential to affect the certification status.

How Do I Apply?

An application to DASA for an aerodrome certificate should use DASA Form – Application for Aerodrome Certificate. See the section below for the DASA Application for Aerodrome Certification Form.
