mickjoebill is correct, we along with tyler have been working with the faa, easa on a new format of stc that allows the operator to install a payload / sensor then conduct a ground / flight test. ...
The Appendix seems to say that self certification is not valid for EASA countries?
In respect to EASA registered helicopters... "The specific sensor/camera/light to be added to the STC has to be introduced by a Minor Change with an EASA accepted certification program."
Are they also saying that a payload self certified in the USA and then put on the STC by the holder isn't approved in EU?
Would be handy if EASA signed up to the concept.
