Aircraft Definition Evolution/Definition Evolution Implementation An NTO is an Airbus written statement responding to an Operator request for using specific aircraft in a configuration (aircraft definition) or with procedures (operational or maintenance) which deviates from the current ones. The NTO is issued in exceptional circumstances and would normally have a temporary validity. The statement contains information technically acceptable to Airbus and specifies any conditions, limits or limitations identified as necessary. The statement is not approved by the Airbus prime Airworthiness Authority (DGAC - French Airworthiness Authority). It is the responsibility of the Operator to obtain the local Airworthiness Authority approval according to the national procedures for the provisions and the limitations contained in the document. The NTO shall not be used for structural repairs for which ABD0054 applies. ABD0084
No Technical Objection
Document which attests that the aircraft meets the noise regulations. An aircraft which has not been designed or manufactured by Airbus but which has temporarily come under the control and responsibility of Airbus who may also maintain or operate the aircraft as owner or agent.
