In this sample we see an example of Type-approvals (TATC_CD) acquired from NICO.
We also see TC Exceptions “Not Certificated” and “Not Identified” - these are examples of TC Exceptions which are dictated by the Flight-Authority assigned to a given aircraft or where CAWIS acquired the Mfg/model data.
FLIGHT AUTHORITY CODE | DESCRIPTION | Category |
|---|---|---|
A | C-OF-A (Standard Certificate of Airworthiness) | A |
B | Restricted Certificate of Airworthiness | A |
C | Owner Maintenance (When an aircraft gets older it can become uneconomical to maintain, in terms of inspections and compliance with AD’S, so the owner takes over maintenance of the aircraft themselves. An “X” is appended onto the models of these aircraft - (Must file an AAIR, but does not get sent AD’s) | B |
D | Limited Certificate of Airworthiness | A |
E | Exhibition Certificate of Airworthiness | A |
F | Amateur Built (Must file an AAIR, but does not get sent AD’s) | B |
G | Experimental Certificate of Airworthiness | A |
H | UltraLight (Does not file an AAIR, and does not get sent AD’s) | B |
I | Advanced UltraLight (Does not file an AAIR, and does not get sent AD’s) | B |
J | Specific Purpose Certificate of Airworthiness | A |
K | Special Purpose Certificate of Airworthiness | A |
L | Non-Type Certified | A |

Full list of TC EXCEPTIONS used for TATC codes
NOT
The TATC_CD NOT is assigned to any new mfg/model assigned to a Category A type aircraft. A NOT model found on a requires an AD-REVIEW, a NICO TATC-CD, and to be set to ACTIVE
OR
It needs TO be corrected to some other mfg/model on the aircraft in question by an inspector, after which point the system deletes any unassigned NOT models
OR
The aircraft in question needs to have its flight authority reviewed ( it might be amateur - CCARCS passes CAWIS NULLs for flight authority, often )
2. NO TATC
A model was found on a
...
CATEGORY A
...
type aircraft at some point, it was on the NOT report,
was reviewed by an inspector and was deemed not to have a type approval.
(Note: a NICO type-approval cannot ALWAYS be acquired for every model on Category A type aircraft)
Anything marked "NO TATC" becomes “NOT IDENTIFIED” when ALL instances of that model are only on deregistered aircraft.
If that model re-appears on a newly registered, type-approved aircraft, it gets assigned “NOT” again
Questionable “Questionable” Type-approvals (D-LIMITED, E-EXHIBITION, G-EXPERIMENTAL, J-SPECIFIC PURPOSE, K-SPECIAL PURPOSE, L-NON TYPE CERTIFIED)
are potentially Amateur-status aircraft, but these aircraft are ALSO intermixed with NICO Type-approved aircraft in these categories–
The TI’s use "NO TATC" to keep them off the NOT report – "
( Note : NOT CERTIFICATED" IS FOR C,F,H,I ( CATEGORY B aircraft, only ) ONLY
...
3. NOT CERTIFICATED
...
models found on an AMTR, UL or an Owner maintained aircraft. (CATEGORY B)
Model Has never been known to be installed on a Canadian Type-approved aircraft and has never undergone AD review.
If ever found on a type-approved aircraft (CATEGORY A), the model gets assigned TATC=NOT and is rolled onto NOT report.
...
4. NOT IDENTIFIED
...
model was found only within the SDR or AD data (m73/c10)
Possibly would be type-approved in Canada if an instance of that particular model were to occur on the current register.
When found on a newly registered type-approved aircraft, the model gets assigned TATC=NOT and is rolled onto NOT report.
"NOT"
NEW model found on a (CATEGORY A) type approved aircraft requires AD-REVIEW, proper TATC-CD, and to be set to ACTIVE
OR
Needs TO be corrected to some other mfg/model on the aircraft in question, after which point the system deletes any unused NOT models
OR
The aircraft in question needs to have its flight authority reviewed ( it might be amateur - CCARCS passes us NULLs for flight authority, often )
...
Also note : CCARCS passes many NULL type approved aircraft to CAWIS.
These are deemed to be "A" Standard CofA until such time as they are manually reviewed on CCARCS web.
These aircraft can be potentially, Standard COFA or Amateur/Ultralight
Any models found on aircraft where the CCARCS flight authority is NULL, may appear (briefly)
on the NOT report, then get removed when a correct flight authority is assigned.
