FAA Notice on Surrendered Supplemental Type Certificate for Portable Oxygen Units
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
B/E Aerospace has given up FAA supplemental type certificate ST01796WI, which covered the installation of AV201 series portable oxygen units on certain aircraft models. The FAA is notifying aircraft owners and operators because they may have aircraft with this approved modification already installed. The surrender is final, so the certificate cannot be reissued to B/E Aerospace or another company. Existing aircraft with the installation are not automatically grounded or stripped of their airworthiness certificates, but owners and maintenance teams should note that the original design approval holder no longer has FAA approval rights or responsibilities tied to this certificate.
