The FOCA publishes «Guidance Material/Information (GM/INFO)» on relevant topics. The aim of these documents is to help operators prepare the necessary documentation and certificates, define procedures and training courses, and adapt the Operations Manual system accordingly.
GM/INFO with the addition «Certification Leaflet (CL)» contain a checklist that is used by the authors as well as by inspectors. They also contain examples of solutions that can be adopted and modified as required. The objective here is to speed up the certification process.
Information: Please note that for some operation specifications, separate applications have to be submitted to the Airworthiness section (STLZ) regarding airworthiness for the purpose of entry into the aircraft register.
