Certification Basis -Thrust Reverser Structure
Certification Basis -Thrust Reverser Structure
(OP)
I reviewed an STC for a thrust reverser that finds compliance to Federal Avaiation Regulations Part 33 "Airworthiness Standards: Aircraft Engines" with the original type certifcate being the engine.
Is this typical for the thrust reverser to be certified to Part 33?
I always assumed it was certified to Part 25 but it appears that I am incorrect.
Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

refer subpart F, para 33.97 "Thrust Reversers", but this says pretty much squat.
i'd've thought that they would need a TSO ...

STC's are never known to be in error, right?

Thanks again.
RE: Certification Basis -Thrust Reverser Structure
but maybe the STC in question is only a minor change to the TR already installed on the plane (rather than installing one) ? which would suggest FAR33 ??
