Initial airworthiness

You need an initial airworthiness for 2-REG aircrafts. A 2-REG aircraft may only be flown with a valid airworthiness certificate. This is based on a Type Acceptance Certificate (TAC), which in turn is based on Type Certificates from three aviation jurisdictions in the world: EASA, FAA, UK CAA, Brazil and Canada. 2-REG applies the ‘follow TC’ concept; once you have chosen a host Type Certificate jurisdiction for the individual aircraft, you must stay with it. The AFM, ADs, modifications, repairs, etc., must all be based on the chosen host jurisdiction.
