The paper discusses the objectives of the Aircraft Products Design Organization Handbook, the availability of which is a prerequisite to obtain a Design Organization Certificate. It reviews content requirements for the Handbook, specified in the document of the State Aviation Administration of Ukraine “Acceptable methods of compliance and guidelines for certification of aircraft and associated products, components and equipment as well as design and manufacture organizations”. Examples are given of comments on the content of the Handbook that the auditors from the State Aviation Administration of Ukraine expressed during the supervisory audit. The importance of these comments for the improvement of the content of the Handbook has been studied.The Handbook, which directly or through cross-references describes the organization itself, significant procedures and products or changes to the designed products, is intended to inform the certifying competent authority of the organization and its activities.

The auditors' comments concern the following questions. Use of terminology, which should clearly correspond to the terms and definitions established in the relevant approved national documents. Displaying the actions corresponding to the beginning of the product design activity.
