There is a user manual for EASA aircraft and a user manual for NO EASA aircraft with instructions and information on how to obtain a Flight Authorisation. This manual also indicates how to carry out subsequent activities after obtaining the Certificate of Airworthiness, such as modifications, suspensions, etc.
