Model families the certificates name · 120, by aircraft on the register
The families and series are those the FAA's certificate listing names; a certificate written for "all spark-ignition engines" names none and covers them all. Whether one aircraft is covered depends on its exact model and engine, which the certificate's approved model list settles; the aircraft's own page says what applies to it.
