During civil aircraft type certification, the issuance of the Type Inspection Authorization (TIA) is the prerequisite for the certified flight test. After the TIA is issued, an official ground inspection is required. The official ground inspection is a conformity inspection conducted by the CAAC manufacturing inspectors or designated manufacturing inspection representative (DMIR) with the ground inspection section of the Type Inspection Report (TIR) as the guidance, the relevant regulations as the basis, and the relevant instructions of the TIA. It is the final inspection of the complete prototype before the certified flight test. This paper introduces the definition of TIA and TIR, studies the ground inspection requirements of Section 18A of TIA and Part I—Airplane Ground Inspection of TIR, given the flow chart of ground inspection. Furthermore, taking a certain type of civil aircraft as an example, the arrangement of inspection work, and the preparation of documents for inspection, as well as the division of self-inspection work, matters needing attention during inspection and summary and rectification after inspection were sorted out. As a result, this paper provides suggestions for the main manufacturer of civil aircraft applying for type certificate to receive the official ground inspection from the authority, provides ideals for the main manufacturer of civil aircraft to prepare for the inspection efficiently, and provides reference for the follow-up civil transport aircraft type inspection work.
