Certificate of Airworthiness (COA) – CASA Delegate Approvals
CASA Delegate issued Certificates of Airworthiness, Fast accurate and fully compliant approval for registered Australian aircraft.
What is a Certificate of Airworthiness (COA)?
A Certificate of Airworthiness (COA) is required for an aircraft to operate once it has been placed on the Australian Civil Aircraft Register. After registration, the COA confirms that the aircraft meets its approved type design, complies with all applicable CASA airworthiness requirements and is safe for flight. For most operators, obtaining the COA is a critical step when placing an aircraft into service, importing an aircraft, or returning an aircraft to operation following significant work.
Why it matters:
Your COA confirms:
Compliance with the approved type design
All airworthiness directives (ADs) are satisfied
Maintenance and configuration meet CASA requirements
The aircraft is ready for safe operation in Australia
All unique Australian airworthiness requirements are met
