ORS4 No.1561 Correction: Certification of Aircraft with Electric Powerplant

We would like to hear from you

The CAA is committed to improving how we deliver services, please help us by completing a short survey about your experiences today

There are a small number of Pipistrel electric powered engines maintained by Part CAO organisations. The UK Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) has been accepted by the GAU Design & Certification Team in the UK Type Rating List (SRG 1782) as a Cat E aircraft, enabling the aircraft rating to be added to an engineer licence. However, there is currently no means for UK licensed engineers to certify this aircraft under Part 66 due to their being no Category E. A rulemaking task is ongoing to address this gap in Part 66 with expected implementation in 2024.
