Abstract:On March 29, 1927, the federal government issued its first aircraft type certificate when the Department of Commerce Aeronautics Branch issued Aircraft Type Certificate No. 1 to the Buhl Airster CA-3 (also known as the J4 Airster after its Wright J4 engine), a three-place open biplane. The company had applied for the certificate on January 31, 1927. John L. Hosch, a 1925 MIT engineering graduate, signed the certificate for the Aeronautics Branch. Hosch died the following month after an airplane accident while on duty.
