A self-contained power unit on an aircraftproviding electrical/pneumatic power to aircraft systems during ground operationsor in-flight, separate from the propulsion engine(s).Category A Helicopter. A multi-engined helicopter designed with engine andsystem isolation features specified in Part IVB of ICAO Annex 8 and capable ofoperations using take-off and landing data scheduled under a critical engine failureconcept which assures adequate designated surface area and adequateperformance capability for continued safe flight or safe rejected take-off.Category B Helicopter. A single-engine or multi-engined helicopter which doesnot meet Category A standards. Category B helicopters have no guaranteedcapability to continue safe flight in the event of an engine failure, and a forcedlanding is assumed.AN-1A P.131 December 2021

Continuing Airworthiness. The set of processes by which an aircraft, engine,propeller or part complies with the applicable airworthiness requirements andremains in a condition for safe operation throughout its operating life.Continuing Airworthiness Records. Records which are related to the continuingairworthiness status of an aircraft, engine, propeller or associated part.Critical Power-Unit(s). The power-unit(s) failure of which gives the mostadverse effect on the aircraft characteristics relative to the case underconsideration.Note: On some aircraft there may be more than one equally critical power-unit. Inthis case, the expression “the critical power-unit” means one of those criticalpower-units.Derived Version of an Aeroplane. An aeroplane which, from the point of viewof airworthiness, is similar to the noise certificated prototype but incorporateschanges in type design which may affect its noise characteristics adversely.Note 1: Where the certificating authority finds that the proposed change in design,configuration, power or mass is so extensive that a substantially new investigationof compliance with the applicable airworthiness regulations is required, theaeroplane should be considered to be a new type of design rather than a derivedversion.Note 2: “Adversely” refers to an increase of more than 0.10 dB in any one of thenoise certification levels unless the cumulative effects of changes in type designare tracked by an approved procedure in which case “adversely” refers to acumulative increase in the noise level in any one of the noise certification levelsof more than 0.30 dB or the margin of compliance, whichever is smaller.Derived Version of a Helicopter. A helicopter which, from the point of view ofairworthiness, is similar to the noise certificated prototype but incorporateschanges in type design which may affect its noise characteristics adversely.Note 1: In applying the Standards of ICAO Annex 16 Volume I, a helicopter thatis based on an existing prototype but which is considered by the certificatingauthority to be a new type design for airworthiness purposes shall nevertheless beconsidered as a derived version if the noise source characteristics are judged bythe certificating authority to be the same as the prototype.Note 2: “Adversely” refers to an increase of more than 0.30 EPNdB in any one ofthe noise certification levels for helicopters certificated according to ICAO Annex16 Volume I Part II Chapter 8 and 0.30 dB(A) in the certification level forhelicopters certificated according to ICAO Annex 16 Volume I Part II Chapter 11.Electric Torch.
