This is to ensure the most direct access to continuing airworthiness information. The category of type certification or type acceptance is not on the list. Refer to the referenced foreign type certificate identification or the NZ type acceptance report for further details if there is any question of eligibility for a particular type of operation. 3. Model/Manufacturer Designations In this advisory circular, manufacturers are listed under the known name adopted for the CAA database, generally either the latest manufacturer of a model or the most commonly recognised name for the type. (For registration purposes and on official documents the manufacturer'

s full legal title at the time of manufacture is used, which is as shown on the type certificate or on the aircraft dataplate.) A known name is used to simplify the aircraft listing and identification, because the name may have changed several times. For example― ・ Aerostar'

s are listed under Piper ・ Hughes

369 Series are listed under MD Helicopters ・ Schweizer

269 Series are listed under the current type certificate holder Sikorsky ・ French helicopters are listed under Sud Aviation and Aerospatiale for older models, and Airbus Helicopters (replacing Eurocopter), depending on how they are most commonly known ・ Dash Eights are listed under DHC, rather than Bombardier ・

690 is listed under Aero Commander, rather than Gulfstream or Rockwell ・ The GA8 is now listed under Mahindra, instead of Gippsland Aeronautics Advisory Circular AC21-1 Appendix
