INTRODUCTION
Part 5 presumes that the [STATE] does not presently have the capabilities or demand to issue its own original type certification and will therefore not be the State of Design or State of Manufacture.  Part 5 of the Model Regulations presents regulatory requirements for the continuing airworthiness of aircraft expected to operate in [STATE] using the standards and recommended practices in ICAO Annexes 6 and the continuing airworthiness SARPS in Annex 8 supplemented by sections from 14 CFR, and in earlier versions of the Model Regulations, the concepts from the JAR before transposition into EU regulations.  Cross references to ICAO Annex 8 are from Amendment 104.  Specifically used from Annex 8 are the following:  Part II, Chapters 3-4; Part III(A), Chapter 10; Part III(B), Chapter 7: 7.7;  Part IV(B), Chapter 7: 7.7; Part V, Chapter 7: 7.7; Part VI, Chapter 1: 1.4;  Part VII, Chapter 7: 7.7.
Part 5 is designed to address the complex situation faced by most countries today respecting the airworthiness of aircraft operating within the country and in international aviation.  In most such cases, there are aircraft registered in [STATE] that were designed and manufactured in another Contracting State, and aircraft registered in [STATE] that were designed in one Contracting State and manufactured in another Contracting State.  In addition, [STATE] may have AOC holders who operate aircraft registered in another Contracting State, with different states of design and manufacture.  Additionally, [STATE] may have AOC holders who are part of a regional consortium, with maintenance facilities in a neighbouring State.  Proper airworthiness of aircraft registered in [STATE] is the result of communication.  The Model Regulations require all persons operating [STATE] registered aircraft to notify the Authority when certain events occur.  The Authority is required to open lines of communication with the State of Design and/or the State of Manufacture, so that the Authority can receive all safety bulletins and airworthiness directives for each type of aircraft operating in [STATE].
