ANNEX 16 - Environmental Protection

The Standards of this Chapter shall be applicable to all propeller-driven aeroplanes including their derived versions, of over 5 700kg maximum certificated take-off mass for which either the application for a certificate of airworthiness for the prototype was accepted or another equivalent prescribed procedure was carried out by the certificating authority on or after 6 October 1977 and before 1 January 1985.

5.1.3

The Standards of Chapter 2, with the exception of Sections 2.1 and 2.4.2, shall be applicable to derived versions and individual aeroplanes of over 5 700 kg maximum certificated take-off mass and to which Standards of Chapter 6 do not apply and are of the type for which application for a certificate of airworthiness for the prototype was accepted or another equivalent prescribed procedure was carried out by which a certificate of airworthiness for the individual aeroplane was issued on or after 26 November 1981.

The Australian regulations extend the requirement to meet the noise standards of Chapter 5 to aircraft for which the application for a certificate of airworthiness for the prototype was accepted before 6 October 1977

Expected date of compliance: Nil.

Australia wished to extend the coverage to additional aircraft to address local circumstances

The Standards of this chapter shall be applicable to all propeller-driven aeroplanes, except those aeroplanes specifically designed for aerobatic purposes or agricultural or fire fighting uses, of a maximum certificated take-off mass not exceeding 8 618 kg for which:

1. application for the certificate of airworthiness for the prototype was accepted, or another equivalent prescribed procedure was carried out by the certificating authority, on or after 1 January 1975 and before 17 November 1988, except for derived versions for which an application for a certificate of airworthiness was accepted or another equivalent procedure was carried out by the certificating authority on or after 17 November 1988 in which case the Standards of Chapter 10 apply; or
2. a certificate of airworthiness for the individual aeroplane was first issued on or after 1 January 1980.

The Australian regulations extend the requirement to meet the noise standards of Chapter 6 to aircraft for which the application for a certificate of airworthiness for the prototype was accepted before 1 January 1975.

Expected date of compliance: Nil

As above

The Standards of this chapter shall be applicable to all helicopters, except those designed exclusively for agricultural, fire fighting or external load carrying purposes, for which:

1. application for the certificate or airworthiness for the prototype was accepted, or another equivalent prescribed procedure was carried out by the certificating authority, on or after 1 January 1985; or
2. application for a change of type design, where such change affects any of the helicopters noise certification levels adversely, was accepted, or other equivalent prescribed procedure was carried out by the certificating authority, on or after 17 November 1988.

The Australian regulations extend the requirement to meet the noise standards of Chapter 8 to helicopters for which the application for a certificate of airworthiness for the prototype was accepted before 1 January 1985.

The Australian regulations remove the exclusion from the noise standards of helicopters designed exclusively for external load carrying purposes.
