B.3 - What is the applicable MTOW fee category of the aircraft for which I want to submit an application for TC, Major Change, STC, Minor Change, or for which I have to pay CAW fees?
Answer
For fees levied in accordance with Tables 2, 3, 4 and 8, of Part I of the Annex to (EU) 2025/2347, the MTOW fee category is assigned at type level. Where multiple models are certified under one type design, the MTOW of the majority of models (>50%) within that type design determines the MTOW fee category for the type. Where there is an even number of models (50%) in each MTOW category under that type design, or where no MTOW category represents more than 50% of models, the higher fee applies. Thus, the MTOW of individual models might differ from the MTOW fee category assigned to the type.
