  •  (1) The Minister shall, subject to section 6.71 of the Act, issue a type certificate in respect of an aeronautical product if the applicant demonstrates, in accordance with the procedures specified in Chapter 511 of the Airworthiness Manual, that

    • (a) subject to subsection (2), the type design of the aeronautical product meets the applicable standards specified in section 511.07;

    • (b) in the case of an aircraft, no feature or characteristic makes the aeronautical product unsafe taking into account the category in which certification is requested; and

  • (2) If the type design of an aeronautical product does not meet all of the applicable standards specified in section 511.07, the Minister shall, subject to section 6.71 of the Act, issue a type certificate in respect of the aeronautical product if the applicant demonstrates that

    • (b) the consequences of the standards not being met are negligible with respect to the level of safety, given the experience accumulated or the tests carried out.

  • (3) If the test flights required by section 511.09 have not been completed, the Minister shall, subject to section 6.71 of the Act, issue a type certificate in respect of an aeronautical product if a program exists to ensure their completion prior to the delivery of the first aircraft or the issuance of the certificate of airworthiness, whichever occurs later.
