What NTCA ???

I dont know why people in our country use the term NTCA, since in practice there is not such a thing in S.A. ALL flying craft is subjected to TYPE CERTIFICATION .

Can someone please help me to understand the reference to this term when we are talking about LS1 or other classified craft , thanks .
