In this sample we see an example of Type-approvals (TATC_CD) acquired from NICO.
We also see TC Exceptions non-standard entries, “Not Certificated” and “Not Identified” - these are examples of TC Exceptions which are dictated either by the Flight-Authority assigned to a given aircraft or the location where CAWIS acquired the Mfg/model data.
...
The TATC_CD, NOT (Not on Tables) 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. They are found on the CAWIS reports menu under “Not Report”
OR
The mfg/model needs TO to be altered by an inspector to match values already on the CAWIS tables, after which point the system auto-deletes any unassigned NOT models
OR
The aircraft in question needs to have its flight authority reviewed (it might be listed as a Category A, but might be amateur - CCARCS passes CAWIS NULLs for flight authority, often. Null CCARCS flight authorities are set to 'A' during data import, to ensure the aircraft is reviewed by an inspector)
...
In this instance, a model was found on a CATEGORY A type aircraft at some point, it appeared on the NOT report, was reviewed by an inspector and was found not to have a NICO type approval, for whatever reason.
(Note: a NICO type-approval cannot ALWAYS be acquired for every model on Category A type aircraft)
...
In general, the TI’s use "NO TATC" to keep them these models off of the NOT report –
(Note : NOT CERTIFICATED" IS FOR CATEGORY B aircraft, only )
