A production certificate is an approval (document) to manufacture duplicate products under an FAA-approved type design (i.e., type certificate or supplemental type certificate). The holder of a production certificate may obtain an airworthiness certificate for aircraft produced under the production certificate without further showing. To obtain one, the production application and approval process must be followed.
