Training:

To enable the privilege to make a determination that a change to an aeronautical product is either significant or not significant:

  1. DARs shall complete either the TCCA offered CPR specialist training or other training that is acceptable to TCCA;

  2. Personnel within an AEO or a DAO who will be exercising this privilege shall complete the TCCA offered CPR specialist training or other training that is acceptable to TCCA;

  3. Delegates who have not completed the requisite CPR training per (a) or (b), may only make a recommendation to TCCA that a change to an aeronautical product is significant or not significant. The delegate shall contact TCCA before the initiation of all delegated and non-delegated projects, i.e. before or at the time of formal application, so that TCCA may make a determination of whether the proposed change is significant or not significant. This contact may not be required if the delegate agrees, and it is documented in their approved procedures manual, that they will apply the latest amendments to their projects; and

  4. Other individuals within an AEO or a DAO who are not delegates but may have a non-technical role in the documenting of the determination, such as a non-delegated Airworthiness Manager or the Chair of an ACC, should as a minimum complete the TCCA Managers Awareness training, either in person or through self-study.
Procedures Manual:

The delegate must document within their DAPM or EPM, which will be approved by TCCA, the classification system and procedures that they will use to make a determination of significant or not significant. As a minimum this shall include:

  1. A description of the privilege in the athorized function section of the manual;

  2. A description of how the delegate will apply the classification system and use the examples of Appendix A of AMA 500/16 to make a determination of significant or not significant. This should address the interaction with TCCA when the examples of Appendix A of the AMA are not adequate to make a determination. The procedures should account for those cases where a determination of significant is made and it is the delegate's intent to apply the latest amendments without exception;

  3. A description of the procedures that the delegate will use to implement the requirements of section 511.13 and 513.07 of the CARs in making this determination, including the role and activities that the delegate will undertake and how the required interaction with TCCA will be achieved.

  4. A description of the CPR decision record that the delegate will use to document the significant or not significant determination; and

  5. For projects involving multiple delegates, consisting of different delegation specialties, or for joint TCCA and delegate projects, the determination of significant or not significant should be unanimous; otherwise, an issue paper process shall be used to document the process of reaching a final determination.
