14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–24 Edition) 

§ 21.111 

regulations in effect on the date of the 
application for the change. 

(e) An application for a change to a 

type certificate for a transport cat-
egory aircraft is effective for 5 years, 
and an application for a change to any 
other type certificate is effective for 3 
years. If the change has not been ap-
proved, or if it is clear that it will not 
be approved under the time limit es-
tablished under this paragraph, the ap-
plicant may do either of the following: 

(1) File a new application for a 

change to the type certificate and com-
ply with all the provisions of paragraph 
(a) of this section applicable to an 
original application for a change. 

(2) File for an extension of the origi-

nal application and comply with the 
provisions of paragraph (a) of this sec-
tion. The applicant must then select a 
new application date. The new applica-
tion date may not precede the date the 
change is approved by more than the 
time period established under this 
paragraph (e). 

(f) For aircraft certificated under 

§§ 21.17(b), 21.24, 21.25, and 21.27 the air-
worthiness requirements applicable to 
the category of the product in effect on 
the date of the application for the 
change include each airworthiness re-
quirement that the FAA finds to be ap-
propriate for the type certification of 
the aircraft in accordance with those 
sections. 

(g) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) of 

this section, for transport category air-
planes, the applicant must show com-
pliance with each applicable provision 
of part 26 of this chapter, unless the ap-
plicant has elected or was required to 
comply with a corresponding amend-
ment to part 25 of this chapter that 
was issued on or after the date of the 
applicable part 26 provision.
