JAR-STD 4A

FOREWORD 1 The Civil Aviation Authorities of certain European countries have agreed common comprehensive and detailed aviation requirements, referred to as Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR), with a view to minimising Type Certification problems on joint ventures, to facilitate the export and import of aviation products, to make it easier for maintenance carried out in one European country to be accepted by the Civil Aviation Authority in another European country and to regulate commercial air transport operations. JARs are recognised by the Civil Aviation Authorities of participating countries as an acceptable basis for showing compliance with their national codes. The content has been prepared using the expertise available in this field and added to where necessary by making use of existing Federal Aviation Requirements of the United States of America where acceptable. Structure and principle of the JAR-STD 'family' of documents has been used. JAR-STD 4A has been issued with no National Variants. It may be felt that the document does not contain all of the detailed compliance and interpretative information which some Civil Aviation Authorities and industry organisations would like to see. However, it has been accepted that JAR-STD 4A should be applied in practice and the lessons learned embodied in future amendments. The Civil Aviation Authorities of the JAA are therefore committed to early amendment in the light of experience. Future development of the requirements of JARSTD 4A, including the commitment in Paragraph 4, will be in accordance with the JAAs Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) procedures. These procedures allow for the amendment of JAR-STD 4A to be proposed by any person or organisation. The Civil Aviation Authorities have agreed they should not unilaterally initiate amendment of their national codes without having made a proposal for amendment of JAR-STD 4A in accordance with the agreed procedure. Where reference is made in JAR-STD 4A to other JAR Codes which may not have been implemented when JAR-STD 4A is implemented, then the equivalent existing national regulations will apply until the referenced Code has been implemented. Definitions and abbreviations of terms used in JAR-STD that are considered generally applicable are contained in JAR1, Definitions and Abbreviations. However, terminology and abbreviations of terms used in JAR-STD that are specific to a Subpart of JAR-STD, are normally given in the Subpart concerned or, exceptionally, in the associated compliance or interpretative material. Modifications to the text in JAR-STD are issued as Amendments. These show an effective date and have the same status and applicability as JAR-STD from that date. New, amended and corrected text will be enclosed within heavy brackets until a subsequent Amendment is issued. Comment/Response documents developed following Notices of Proposed Amendment (NPA) consultation have been produced by the JAA and are published on the JAA Internet Site: www.jaa.nl. Readers can also apply to Central JAA for copies of specific Comment/Response Documents as required. The editing practices used in this document are as follows: (a) Requirements containing mandatory clauses are expressed by the word shall.
