Good afternoon!
I'm not from USA but my company is under one project to elabarate a new passenger a/c but we are going to apply for FAA TC. I have some questions regarding equipment approval process and I express thanks for any help in advance!
I suggest reviewing on the example:
-There is a a/c manufacturer (Boeing) and he is under a new a/c project ( let's name such a/c as B111 for my case) and would like to get to know much more about certification of an equipment which is intended to be installed on such type desing of a/c. There is a OEM company that has an equipment has been approved acc. to TSO approval process. For example, he is a manufacturer of TCAS II system (TSO C-119). Boeing wants to install such system on its new B111 a/c (not type certified yet) and does not intend to make any changes (functional, design) into such already TSO approved system. Then OEM organization supply TCAS II accompanying with TSO Authorization Letter, DDP , maintenance and compliance doc's. My first question is : Will such volume of doc's enough for FAA (to permit to install TCAS on board for ground/flight a/c tests) ?
The second question) please forgive me for my insolence! - Now look at such project from the OEM side. I'm OEM (manufacturer of TCAS II). As no needs to make any changes to TCAS system approved design (case #1 ) I just compile necessary documentation in acc. with TSO and sends it to Boeing?! Am I right?
The third question is: when shall I as OEM company use PMA process or TSO process within my example with new B111 a/c.
Thank you for your help!
