STC's for Commander
WHAT IS AN STC?
A supplemental type certificate (STC) is a certificate
issued when an applicant has received FAA approval to modify an aircraft from
its original design. The STC, which incorporates by reference the related type
certificate, approves not only the modification but how that modification
affects the original design.
YOU'VE FOUND ONE YOU
WANT TO INSTALL ON YOUR AIRCRAFT. WHAT DO YOU DO NOW?
You must contact the STC holder to seek written permission. The STC and
its related information-- all drawings, data, specifications--are the property
of the STC holder. The FAA will not release this information without
authorization from the owner.
YOU TRIED. COULDN'T
FIND THE STC HOLDER.
If the mail you sent was returned "undeliverable" and there is no phone
listing for the holder, please contact the issuing FAA office. STCs are
approved and issued through
FAA aircraft certification offices (ACOs)
which serve the geographic area of the STC owner's residence.
YOU'RE INTERESTED IN
GETTING YOUR OWN STC.
For information regarding the STC application process, you may contact
the ACO in your geographic area. You may also find it helpful to review related
orders and advisory circulars, in particular, Order 8110.4B, "Type
Certification Process," and AC
21-40, "Application Guide for Obtaining a Supplemental Type Certificate".
