The Certification Review Item (CRI) attached covers a Special Condition which proposes an increase in maximum take-off weight of a VLA from 750 kg to 800 kg with the appropriate compensating factors. This CRI is specific to the Diamond DA20 and DV20 aircraft, but if accepted could also apply to other VLA type aircraft. The DA20 has been approved by Transport Canada to this higher weight and a copy of this exemption is attached for information. This proposal is reflected in ongoing Rulemaking tasks VLA.005 which proposes an increase to 890 kg, but an increase to 800 kg only is proposed in this case.

Update: 7 September 2010. No comments were received for this proposed Special Condition and there is consequently no Comment-Response Document.
