CS CCD.210 Determination of a new type
ED Decision 2020/015/R
(a) The candidate aircraft is determined to be a new type:
(1) if so substantiated in the compliance demonstration and approved by the Agency; or
(2) as a result of the determination process required by CS CCD.200.
(b) The candidate aircraft is determined to be a new type if the type-specific elements of CS CCD.205(b)(1) and (b)(2) are different from those of the base aircraft.
(c) The following need not be a factor in determining the candidate aircraft as a new type unless as specified in (d):
(1) one or several doors/exits of the same operation as any door/exit that is installed on the base aircraft are added or removed; or
(2) doors/exits are derated; or
(3) self-help exits (such as Type lll and Type lV, as per CS-25).
(d) If no differences are identified in the type-specific elements of CS CCD.205(b)(1) and (b)(2), but differences are identified in the type-specific elements of CS CCD.205(b)(3) or (b)(4), or in both, and are combined with one or more of the differences specified in (c), the impact of those differences is assessed and the determination of the candidate aircraft as a new type is considered.
(e) When identifying differences in accordance with CS CCD.205(b)(2)(i), if the number, location and operation of doors/exits is the same but the type (as per CS-25) of the installed door/exit is different from that of the base aircraft, the candidate aircraft need not be determined as a new type.
(f) If differences are identified in CS CCD.205(b)(3) only, the candidate aircraft need not be determined as a new type.
[Issue No: CCD/2]
Under EASA aviation regulations, an aircraft is a new type if compliance proves it, or type-specific cabin crew data differs significantly from the base aircraft. Door/exit changes alone usually don't trigger a new type classification unless combined with other differences impacting crew procedures or equipment. Minor door type variations may be excluded.
