318 Transitional: certificates of approval
(1) A certificate of approval for the manufacture of aircraft, aircraft components or aircraft materials that was in force under regulation 30 on 30 November 1998: (a) continues in force for 5 years after 30 November 1998; and (b) has the effect during that period that it would have if the original regulations were still in force; and (c) for Subparts 21.H and 21.L of CASR—has the same effect during that period as a production certificate issued under regulation 21.134 of CASR. (2) A certificate of approval for manufacture continued in force under subregulation (1) remains subject to any condition to which it was subject immediately before 1 December 1998. (3) If an application for a certificate of approval for the manufacture of aircraft, aircraft components or aircraft materials was made under subregulation 30(1) before 1 December 1998 but CASA had not decided the application before that day, CASA must deal with the application as if the original regulations were still in force. (4) If a request under regulation 30A for approval of a proposed change to any of the particulars stated in a certificate that has been continued under subregulation (1) was made before 1 December 1998 but CASA had not decided the request before that day, CASA must deal with the request as if the original regulations were still in force.
