1. PURPOOE. '!his Advisory Circular (AC) makes available to interested persoos cq,ies of all 01rrent U.S. Bilateral Airworthiness Agreements (BAA) tCXJether with an explanatioo of their intent.

2. REIATED READING MATERIAL. A document titled, "Export/InFort Ai:rworthiness Cert1ficat100 of C1v1l Aeronautical Products (FAA-P-8110-1)," was issued oo 3/1/82 by the Office of Ai:cworthiness. The p.1rpose of the docl.ment is to provide infonnation oo Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) policies and practices oonceming U.S. ai:rworthiness certification of export/i.nport civil aeronautical products. It is also intended to provide assistance in under­ standing a number of international certification issues and will be UErlated fran time to tine as resolution of the issues progresses. '!he docunent also provides a thoroogh discussion oonceming the BAA, their :inplementation, and their relationship with international oonventions and trade agreements to which the U.S. is a signatory-including the Aircraft Agreerrent and Standards Code concluded during the nest recent round of M.lltilateral Trade Negotiations (MIN) held under the General Agreement a, Tariffs and Trade ( ~) • Extracts from the docunent are included in paragraph 3. Copies of FAA-P-8110-1 may be c::t>tained £ran the Aircraft Engineering Division (Am-100), Office of Airworthiness, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., washington, D.C.

**3. DISCCSSIOO.**

a. A Bilateral Ai:rworthiness Agreenent is an "Executive Agreement," concluded at the government-to-governrrent level by an exchange of diplomatic notes, with an appropriate Department of State (IX)S) official signing for the U.S.

b. There are no U.S. Statutes, FAA regulations, or International Agreements or Conventions that require a BAA to exist with the i.nporting oountry for export of u.s.-manufactured aeronautical products. In fact, many

u.s.-manufactured civil aeronautical products are exported to and accepted by many countries which have oot entered into a BAA with the U.S. Countries do not usually seek, nor does the U.S. encourage, BAA's unless the other country has an aeronautical product manufacturing industry and desires to export such products to the U.S.

c. '!he 8"'s are mt a:>nsidered to be Trade AQreements1 rather, they me technical agreements (which nay be broad or limited- in E!Cqle} intended auy tD facilitate the reciprocal acceptance of test results, certificates, or narks of conformity issued by the airworthiness authority of tha exporting coontey. · Without such arrangements, product manufacturers oould incur a substantial, unnecessary l:urden of %el)etitive certification testing am analysis for each importing oountry, witb:>ut reo:,gnition of the efforts mnpleted for danestic certification. 'ftle ~'s are intended to reduce these blrdens by facilitating liaison between the FM an:3 the airworthiness authorities of the other Contracting State to ensure that the airworthiness (safety) standards of the importing oountry are satisfied through naximum U9e of the exp::>rting country's certification system.

d. When a foreign g::,yernment requests a 8" with the u.s., or i:equests that an existing ~nent be revised, the FM-acting through the Interagency Group on International Aviation (IGIA)-suanits the request for review by interested Executive Branch departnents an:1 agencies (e.g., D:!:fense, State, Coomerce, labor, Off ice of the U.s. Trade Representative). If the finding is positive, the IX5 asks the FM to conduct an evaluation of the i:equesti(JJ country's airworthiness certification system.

e. '!he FM. includes in its evaluation an assessnent of: the foreign airworthiness autoority's technical cmipetence, capabilities, regulatory authority, arx1 efficacy; the foreign country's airworthiness laws am regulations~ and the foreign Wustry 's cwerall state-of-the-art in design an:1 manufacturing capability for the SC'Ope of the cgreenent !lDught. 'Ile ccuntry•s need for a 81\A t.o exy::ort products into the u.s. is also assessed to :,:reclude needless agreerents. If FM.'s assessments are p:>sitive, the I05 am FAA personnel then decide the specific scope, substance, am text of a draft BAA, usually with representatives of the other country's ainiOrthiness auttx>rity.

Once a draft eA1\ is reached, the text is sul::mitted to the In; for final review.

The IX>S exchanges diplc:rnatic notes, thereby concludir¥J the IP.A.

f. In the exercise of his resp::>nsibilities lnder Title VI of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended (FA Act), the Administrator must act consistently with international agreements to \l.hich the u.s. is a J:Brty to neet the reauirements of Section 1102 of the FA Act. Sinc-e Executive Agreements nust be oonsistent with U.S. Statutes, BAA 1s cannot be entered into mless they provide for the Administrator's cxxnplianoe with Title VI of the m Act.

g. Indeed, while the FM cg>lies a different process for the ainiOrthiness certification of imported products, the oojectives of Title VI of the r1\ Act are in oo way diminished cy- the ff\A. The issuance of a certificate for an ~rted product cx,nstitutes a finding cy- the Administrator that the awropriate

u.s. airworthiness standards, or starrlards that prO\Tide an equivalent level of safety, have reen met.

h. All of the existing BAA's provide, in effect, within the terms and sc:cpe of each agreenent, that:

( 1) The irrporting State 11 shall give the same validity to the certification ••• (by the exporting State) of a:>rrpliance with the applicable requirements notified by the inporting State ••• as if the certification had been made by its~ aeronautical authority in accordance with its CMn applicable laws, regulations, and requirements";

(2) 11 The aeronautical authorities of the importing State shall have the right to make acceptance of any certification by the aeronautical authorities of the exporting State dependent up:,n the product meeting any additional requirements which the importing State finds necessary to ensure that the product meets a level of safety equivalent to that provided by the applicable laws, regulations, and requirements which 1,,,0uld be effective for a similar product produced in the importing State";

(3) "The aeronautical authorities of each Contracting State shall keep aeronautical authorities of the other Contracting State wrrently infonred on all relevant laws, regulations, and requirements in their State";

(4) "In the case of oonflicting interpretations of the laws, regulations, or requirei'llents pertaining to certifications or approvals under this Agreerrent, the interpretations of the aeronautical authorities of the Contracting State whose law, regulation, or requirement is being interpreted shall prevail" : and ( 5) "Either Contracting ·' State may terminate (the) Agreement at the expiration of not less than 60 days after giving written notice of that intention to the other State."

NOI'E: (Quoted statements taken from U.S./U.K. Bilateral Airworthiness Agreement. Others may differ slightly b..lt are the same in substance).

i. The language in subparagraph h(1) provides for the certification made by the foreign airworthiness authority to be considered conpetent evidence by the Administrator to make the findings required by Section 603 of the FA Act.

Subparagraphs h(2) thru (4) provide prerogatives to ensure that the Administrator's findings can be creditably made relative to rompliance with U.S. airworthiness standards. Subparagraph h(S) provides for termination of the BAA at the discretion of either party, for any reason, including a loss of confidence in the cx:>mpetc,.ce or acceptability of the foreign authority's certification. Therefore, when a U.S. Type Certificate, or other form of design approval (e.g. , for materials, parts, and appliances) is issued to approve the design of products using BAA procedures, the provisions of ooth Section 603(a) and Section 1102 of the FA Act are net by the Administrator. The Type Certificate has the sarre technical and legal significance, meaning, and value as Par 3 3

'!'he role played by the FM. in evaluating the technical arrl regulatory canpetence and capabilities of the foreign airworthiness system and authority before new or amended B.Z\A.'s are concluded and (during the d?tailed discussion of the agreements, and t¥ the continuous liaison maintained by the FM with the foreign authorities) further assures the integrity of the Administrator's findings made throuqh procedures consistent with the EA.l\'s. Moreover, the BAA's provide for FM familiarization with the µ::-cx:luct teing certificated and provide for sufficient involvement by the FM to understand the foreign certification process and standards-thus, to assure that the objectives of the U.S.

airworthiness standards are satisfied. lastly, as rrentioned before, all agreements may be cancelled after ootice by either i:arty should the situation change in a country where a FAA fails to prcx:luce the required safety results.

The Secretary of State to the A.u.stralian Charge d'A.ffaires ad interim DECEMBER 24, 1974 Srn:

I refer to com·ersations w·hich have taken pJace beh,Pen represent­ atives of the Go,·ernment of the rnited States of America and the Gorernment of . .\.ustralia relating to the reciprocal acceptance of air­ worthiness certifications. in the course of w·hich discussions were held regarding appropriatp actions neressnry· to ,r-ork to'\'\·ards common safety objectives and to establish ·standarcls which will be as similar as practicable. It is my understan<ling that thl' two Governments haYe reached an agreement as set out below. It is also my understanding that this agreement does not relate to noise abatement or anti-pollution require men ts.

1. This .\gTeement applies to ci,·il aeronautical products (herein­ after referrecl to as ;'producti/') and certain components referred to in parag-rnph 3 of this Agreement "'°hen such products or components are produced in one Contracting State (hereinafter referred to as the "exporting State") and exported to the other Contracting State (hereinafter referred to as the "importing State~'), and to products produred in another State with which both Contracting States have agreements similar in scope for reciprocal acceptance of airworthiness certifications.

2. (a) If the competent authority of the exportin ."' State certifies that a product produced in that State complies rit~icr with its npplica­ hle laws. regulations ancl requirements as ,,ell as an~· additional re­ quirement -; ,,hirh mny haw heen prescribed hy the importing State nnder paragraph 4- of this Agre*7Jnent. or with the applicable laws, regulations nnd reqnirements of the importing State, as notified by the importing- State ns heing- npplicahle in the particular case, the importing- Stnte ~hall gin the same validity to the C'Htifiration as if the certification had heen macle by its own competent authority in accorclance ,vith its o"·n npp1icaLle In"·s. regnbtions and' requirements.

(b) In the case of a product produced in another State with which both Contracting States have agreements similar in scope for reciprocal acceptance of 11irworthiness certifications, if the competent authority of the State exporting the prod.net provides n certificntion that the product conforms to the design covered by the certificate or approval issued by the importing State and certifies thnt the procluct is in n proper state of airworthiness, the importing State shall give the snme vnliclitY to such certification as if the certification hnd. been made by its own· competent authority in accordance with its npplicnble laws, regnlntions nnd requirements.

(c) In the case of a product being exported by one Contracting State to the Contracting State where the product was originally pro­ duced, if the competent authority of the State exporting the product provides a certification that the product conforms to the design covered by the certificate or approval issued by the State importing the product and certifies that the product is in a proper state of air­ worthiness, the State importing the product shall give the same validity to such certification as if the certification had been made by its own competent authority in accordance with its applicable laws, regulations and requirements. This provision will apply only if the product was under the jurisdiction of either of the Contracting States continuously from the time it was exported from the Contracting State where it was produced to the other Contracting State.

3. In the case of a component which is produced in the exporting State fOi' export nnd use on a product which is or may be certificated or approved in the importing State, if the competent authority of the exporting State certifies thnt the component conforms to the applica­ ble design data, meets the applicable test requirements nnd has been produced in accordance with the applicable quality control require­ ments. which have been notified by the importing State to the export­ ing State, the importing State shal1 give the same validity to the certi­ fication as if the certification had been made by its own competent authority. This provision shall only apply to those components which are produced by a manufncturer in the exporting State pursuant to an agreement between thnt manufacturer and the product manufacturer in the importing State. Furthermore, it shall only apply in those in­ stances where, in the judgement of the importing State, the component is of such complexity that determination of conformity and quality control cannot readily be made at the time that the component is as­ sembled with the product.

-L The competent authority of the importing State shall hav1! the right t<, ··<>scribe any additional requirements which the importing State finds rn•cessary to ensure that the product meets a level of safety equivalent to that provided by its applicable laws, regulations and requirements '\Thich would be effective for a similar product produced 1n the importing State. These additional requirements may include nny special conditions which the importing State considers necPssary for safety because of novel or unusual design features of the particular TIAS 8126

Entered into force June 16, 1976.

Th.e American Ambassador to the Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs· No. 250 BRASILIA, June 16. 1976 EXCELLENCY:

I have the honor to refer to conversations which have taken place between representatives of our two governmP.nts relating to the re­ ciprocal acceptance of airworthiness certifications, in the course of -which discussions were held regarding appropriate actions necessary io work towards common safety objectives and to establish stand­ ards which will be as similar as practicable. It is my understanding that the two governments have reached an agreement as set out be­ low. It is also my understanding that this agreement does not relate to noise abatement or anti-pollution requirements.

1. This Agreement applies to civil aeronautical products (herein­ after referred to as "products") and certain components refeITed to in pa.re.graph 3 of this Agreement when such products or components are produced in one contracting state (hereinafter referred to as the "exporting state") nod exported to the other contracting state (here­ inafter referred to as the "importing state"), and to products produced in another state with which both contracting state s have agreements similar in scope for reciprocal acceptance of airworthiness certifications.

2. A. If the competent aeronautical authorities of the exporting state certify that a. product produced in that state complies either with its applicable laws, regulations and requirements as well as any additional requirements which may ha.Ye been prescribed by the importing state under paragraph 4 of this Agreement, or with app]i­ cable laws, regulation s and requirements of the importing state, e.s notified by the importing state as being applicable in the particular case, the importing state shall give the same validity to the certifi~ cation as if the certification had been made by its own competent aeronautical authorities in &ccordance with its own applicable laws, .regulations and requirements.

In the case of a product produced in another state with which both contracting states have agreements similar in scope for recip­ rocal acceptance of airworthiness certification, if the competent aeronautical authorities of the state exporting the product provide s.

certification that the product conforms to the design covered by the certificate or approval issued by the importing state and certify that the product is in a proper state of airworthiness, the importing stats shall give the same validity to such certification as if the certification had been made by its own competent aeronautical authorities in accordance with its applicable laws, regulations and requirements.

3. In the case of a component which is produced in the exporting state for export and use on a product which is or may be certificated or approved in the importing state, if the competent aeronautical authorities of the exporting state certify that the component conforms to the applicable design data, meets the applicable test requirements and has been produced in accordance with the applicable quality control requirements, which have been notified by the importing state to the exporting state, the importing state shall give the same rnlidity to the certification as if the certification had been made by its own competent aeronautical authorities. This provision shall only apply to those components which an•, produced by e. manufacturer in the exporting state pursuant to an agreement between the manu­ facturer and the product manufacturer in the importing state. Fur­ thermore, it shall only apply in those instances where, in the judgment of the importing state, the component is of such complexity that determination of conformity and quality control cannot readily be made at the time the component is assembled with the product.

4. The competent aeronautical authorities of the importing state shall have the right to make acceptance of any certification by the competent aeron1rntical authorities of the exporting state dependent upon the product meeting any additional requirements which the importing state finds necessary to ensure that the product meets a level of saf et.y equiYalent to that provided by its applicable laws, regulations and requirements which would be effective for a simila.r product produced in the importing state. The competent aeronautical authorities of the importing state shall promptly advise the compe­ tent aeronautical authorities of the exporting state of any such additional requirements.

5. The competent aeronautical authorities of each contracting state shall keep the competent aeronautical authorities of the other con­ tracting sta.LL ·lly informed of all mandatory airworthiness modifica­ tions and special inspection~ which thPy determine are necessary in respect of imported or exported products to which this Agreement applies.

6. 'l'he competent aeronautical authorities of the exporting state shall, in respect of products produced in that state, assist the com~ petent aeronautical authorities of the importing state in determining whether major design changes and major repairs made under the TIAS 8384 Page 19

They shall also assist in analyzing those major incidents occurring on products to which this Agreement applies and which are such as would raise technical questions regarding the airworthiness of such products.

7. The competent aeronautical authorities of each contracting state shall keep the competent aeronautical authorities of the other con­ tracting state currently informed of all relevant laws, regulations and requirements of their state.

8. In the case of conflicting interpretations of the laws, regulations or requirements pertaining to certifications or approvals under this .Agreement, the interpretation of the competent aeronautical authori­ ties of the contracting state whose law, regulation or requirement is being interpreted shall prevail.

9. For the purpose of this Agreement:

(B) "Aircraft" means a civil aircraft of all categories, whether used in public transportation or for other purposes, and includes replacement and modification parts therefor;

Singapore, August 21, 1981 E><ce l lency:

I have the honor to refer to conversations which have recently taken place between representatives of our two Governments relating to the reciprocal acceptance of airworthiness certifications, in the course of which . discussions were held regarding appropriate actions necessary to work towards colll!Tlon safety objectives and to establish standards which will be as similar as practicable. It is my understanding that the two Governments have reached an agreement as set out below. It is also my understanding that this agreerr,ent does not :relate to noise abatement or anti-pollution reguirernents,

1. This ~g:reement applies to civil aeronautical products (hereinafter referred to as "products") when such products are produced in one contracting, State (also referred to as the "exporting State") and exported to the other contracting State (.;.lso referred to as the "importing State"), and to products produced in another State with which both contracting States have agreements similar in scope fo:r reciprocal acceptance of alrworthiness certifications.

2.A. If the competent aeronautical authorities of the exporting State certify that a product produced in that State complies either with its applicable laws, regulations, and requirements as well as any additional requirements which His Excellency Tony Tan Keng Yarn Minister for Trade and Industry Rep~blic of Singapore 8/2JJ/82

• may have been prescribed by the importing State· under paragraph 4 of this Agreement, or with the applicable laws, regulations, and requirements of the importing State, as notified by the importing State as being applicable in the particular case, the importing State shall give the same validity to the certification as if the certification had been made by its own competent aeronautical authorities in accordance with its own applicable laws, regulations, and requirements.

B. In the case of a product produced in another State with which both contracting States have agreements similar in scope for reciprocal acceptance of airworthiness certification, if the competent aeronautical authorities of the State exporting the product provide a certification that the product conforms to the design covered by the certificate of approval issued by the importing State and certify that the product is in a proper state of airworthiness, the importing State shall give the same validity to such certification as if the certification had been made by its own competent aeronautical authorities in accordance with its applicable laws, regulations, and requirements.

3. In the case of a component which is produced in the exportinq State fo~ export and use on a product which is or may be certificateel or approved in the importing State, if the competent aeronautical authorities of the exporting State certify that the component conforms to the applicable design data, meets the applicable test requirements, and has been produced in accordance with the applicable quality control requirements, which havt! been notified by the importing State to the exporting State, the importing State shall give the

• Page 127

• same validity to the certification as if the certification had been made by its o\ffl competent aeronautical authorities.

This provision shall only apply to those components which are produced by a manufacturer in the exporting State pursuant to an agreement between the manufacturer and the product manufacturer in the importing State. Furthermore, it shall only apply in those instances where, in the judgment of the importing State, the component is of such ~omplexity that determination of conformity and guality control cannot readily be made at the time the component is assembled with the product.

4. The competent aeronautical authorities of the importing State shall have the right to make acceptance of any certification by the competent aeronautical authorities of the exporting State dependent upon the product meet~ng any additional reguirements which ' the importing State finds necessary to ensure.that the product meets a level of safety equivalent to that provided by its applicable la..·s, regulations, and requirements, which would be effective for a similar product produced in the importing State. The competent aeronautical authorities of the importing State shall promptly advise the competent aeronautical authorities of the exporting State of any such additional reguirements.

5. The competent aeronautical authorities of each contracting State shall keep the competent eeronautical authorities of the other contracting State fully informed of all mandatory airworthiness modifications and special inspections which they determine are necessary in respect of imported or exported products to which this Agreement epplies.

They shall also assist in analyzing those major incidents occurring on products to which this Agreement applies and which are such as would raise technical questions regarding the airworthiness of such products.

7. The competent aeronautical authorities of each contracting State shall keep the co~petent aeronautical authorities of the other contracting State currently infor1ned of all relevant laws, regulations, and requirements of their State .

B. In the case of conflicting interpretations of the laws, regulations or requirements pertaining to certifications or approvals under this Agreement, the interpretation of the competent aeronautical authorities of the contracting State whose law, regulation or require­ ment is being interpreted shall prevail.

E~CELLE~ CY :

I 1rn.ve the honor to refer to conve1·sations which have taken place between representatins of our two Governments relating to the reciprocal acceptance of airworthiness certifications, in the course of which discussions were he]d re~arding appropriate actions necessary to work tmrnrds <'ommon safety objectins :u~d t.o establish standards which will be as similar as prncticable. It is my understanding that the two Governments have reached an agrrement as set out below. It is also my understanding that this agreement does not relute to noise abatement-Or anti-pollution rc1uiremcnts.

1. This Agreement applies to ciYil aeronautical products (herein­ after referred to as "products"') and certain components referred to in para~raph 3 of this Agreement when such products or components are produced in one Contracting State (hereinafter referred to as the "exporting State~') and exported to the other Contracting State (here­ inafter referred to :is the "importinp: State' 1). and to prod nets produced in another State trith "hich both Contruding States have agree­ ments similar in scope for reciprocal acceptance of airworthiness certifications.

2.

•by the importing State as being applicable in the particular case, the importing State shall give the same validity to the certification as if the certification had been made by its own competent aeronautical authorities in aecordance with its own applicable Jaws, regulations and requirements.

(b) In the case of a product produced in another State with which both Contracting States have agreements similar in scope for reciprocal aeceptance of airworthiness certifications, if the competent aeronautical authorities of the State exporting the product provide a certification that the product conforms to the design covered by the certificate or appro\·al issued by the importing State and certify that the product is in a. proper state of airworthiness, the importing State shall gin the same rn.lidity to such certification as if the certification had betm made by its own competent aeronautical authorities in accord­ ance with its applicable laws, regulations and requirements.

3. In the case of components which are produced in the exporting State for export and use on products which are or may be certificated er approwd in the importing State. if the competent aeronautical :rnthorities of the exporting State certify that the component conforms to the applicable design data and meets the applicnble test and quality control requirements which have been notified by the importing State to the exporting State, the importinf! State shall giw.the same validity to the certification as if the certific.<ttion had been made by its mm com­ petent aeronautical authorities. This proYision shall only apply to those components which are prodnced by a m:mufacturer in the ex­ porting State pm·snant to an agreement between that manufacturer and the product manufacrnrer in the importing State. Furthermore, it shall onl~· apply in those instances ,,here. in the judgement of the • importing State. the component is of such complexity that determina· tion of conformity and quality control cannot readily be made at the time that the component is assemblrd with the product.

4. The competent aeronautical authorities of the importing State shall haw the right to mak<> acc<>ptnnce of any certification by the com­ petent aeronautical authorities of the £'xportin!! State dependent upon the proch1ct m<>eting any n<lditional requirements which the importing State finds necessarv to ensure that the nrorlnct meets a lenl of sa.fetv equirnlent to that proYi<led b~· its applicable> laws, re~lations and requirements "·hich wonl,l be effectiYe for n similar product proc1ueed in the importing Statl'. The competent. aeronantica l authorities of the importing State s11aI1 promptly ad,·ise the competent aeronauticn1 authorities of the exporting State of an~· such additional requirements.

5. The competent. aeronautical authorities of each Contracting State shall keep the competent. aeronautical authorities of the other Con­ tracting State fully informrd of all mandatory airworthiness modifica­ cations and special inspections which they determine are neces.sary in respect of imported or exported products to which this Agreement applies.
