FAA Approvals
Installation and rigging of the SpaceCam to aircraft must be accomplished in accordance with several federal aviation regulations. Paperwork required to be in the aircraft prior to commencement of the flight operation includes:

• A copy of FAA form 337 (Major Repair and Modification)
• A copy of the valid STC (Supplementary Type Certificate) or 8110-3 must be attached or referenced in the 337 or the 337 must have an FAA field approval stamp in the correct box on the form.
  The Flight Manual Supplement.
  The change sheet to the helicopter weight and balance record.
  The official helicopter logbook must be available to sign off the installation.

In the event that the installation is approved under an 8110-3 only and if it is the first time SpaceCam has been fitted to the specific helicopter, FAA approval may be required prior to flight. Production must schedule sufficient time for this to be done; at least one full weekday unless special weekend arrangements can be made. If the flying is to take place outside of the U.S. or Canada, further time may be necessary to obtain the proper airworthiness approvals. In all cases, the local Aviation Authority and the helicopter operator in the country concerned should be consulted well in advance to avoid delays.
