AUSTRALIA, COMMONWEALTH OF--SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Aircrait, to be eligible for certification in Australia, in addition to the requirements prescribed in Part 21 of the United States Federal Aviation Regulations, must be demonstrated to comply with the requirements of the appropriate Section of Part 101 of the Air Navigation Orders issued by the Director General of Civil Aviation in Australia. The following guidance is offered:
A United States Export Certificate of Airworthiness for export to Australia without exceptions will be considered as evidence that an aircraft complies with the requirements for the issue of an Australian Certificate of Airworthiness provided the Export Certificate has been issued for no longer than 90 days or 50 operating hours.
The appropriate Section of the Australian Air Navigation Orders Part 101 will be that appropriate to the category of certification required and the class of aircraft concerned. The Section against which the aircraft has been demonstrated to comply should be endorsed on the Export Certificate of Airworthiness.
Aircraft may be issued with Australian certificates of airworthiness in one or more of the following categories;
(1) Transport;
(2) Normal;
(3) Utility;
(4) Acrobatic;
(5) Agricultural;
(6) Developmental; and
(7) Special.
The Sections of Air Navigation Orders Part 101 relevant to civil aircraft constructed in the United States of America, its territories and possessions; and exported to Australia are:
(1) Transport Category.
(a) A.N.O. Section 101.4, Imported Aeroplanes Not Above 12,500 1b. in the Transport Category."
(b) A.N.O. Section 101.6, "Imported Turbine Aeroplanes Above 12,500 1b. Designed to CAR and FAR.
A.N.O. Section 101.8, Imported Piston Aeroplanes Above 12,500 1b. Designed to CAR and FAR."

(4) Developmental Category. A.N.O. Section 101.31, "Developmental Aircraft."
(5) There are other Sections of Air Navigation Orders relating to aircraft designed against the British Civil Airworthiness Requirements, while the requirements for the Special Category are advised as special conditions to suit individual cases not provided for in the other categories.
e. Aircraft certificated in the United States only in the Restricted Category normally will be eligible for export to and certification in Australia only in the agricultural category in accordance with Section 101.17 of the Air Navigation Orders. Aircraft certificated in the United States only in the Limited Category will not normally be eligible for certification in Australia.
The procedures to be followed for the issue of an Australian certificate of airworthiness are specified in the Australian Air Navigation Orders Section 100,2.
8 • Copies of Air Navigation Orders may be perused at the various regional offices of the Federal Aviation Admínistration or at the office of the Civil Air Attache, Embassy of Australia, 1601 Massachusetts Avenue N. W., Washington, D. C. 20036, or may be obtained by mail from The Director General, Department of Civil Aviation, Box 18390, G.P.O., Melbourne, Vic. 3001, Australia.
2. An Export Certificate of Airworthiness, for export to Australia, in accordance with the requirements prescribed in Part 21 of the Federal Aviation Regulations may be issued when it has been demonstrated to the responsible region of the FAA that the aircraft complies with the requirements of the appropriate Section of Part 101 of Air Navigation Orders.
Alternatively, such an Export Certificate of Airworthiness may be issued when it has been demonstrated to the Department of Civil Aviation that the
AC 21-2B CHG 1 Appendix 2 11/13/70 Page 5 aircraft complies with the appropriate Section of Part 101 of Air Navigation Orders and the Director General of Civil Aviation has advised the responsible region of the FAA in writing of its acceptance of the aircraft. The following guidance is offered:
Export airworthiness approval of aircraft located outside the United States of America, its territories or possessions will be subject to the provisions of subparagraph (b) (2), Section 21.325, Part 21, of the Federal Aviation Regulations.
Compliance with the requirements of Air Navigation Orders may be demonstrated to an authorized officer or officers of the Australian Department of Civil Aviation. These officers will normally visit the United States to assess compliance only in the case of transport category aircraft of maximum take-off weight greater than 12,500 1b.
3. In some circumstances it may be impossible or undesirable to show thet an aircraft complies with all thé requirements of the appropriate Section of Part 101 of Air Navigation Orders until the aircraft arrives in Australia.
Similarly it may be more appropriate that modification to achieve compliance with the Air Navigation Orders be deferred until the aircraft arrives in Australia. In these circumstances an Export Certificate of Airworthiness for export to Australia may be issued in accordance with the requirements prescribed in Part 21 of the Federal Aviation Regulations when it has been demonstrated to the responsible region of the FAA that the aircraft complies with such of the requirements of the appropriate Section of Part 101 of the Air Navigation Orders as are desired and the requirements not complied with are clearly established, The Export Certificate of Airworthiness will be endorsed with those exceptions and with the applicable Section of Air Navigation Orders Part 101 against which the demonstration has been made. The following guidance is offered:
a. Circumstances in which it may not be possible to demonstrate compliance with the requirements before export include the following:
(1) Those where interpretations or assessments have to be given by the Department of Civil Aviation and where an authorized officer 16 not available in the U.S. to perform these functions; and
(2) Those where demonstrations of radio communication/navigation and other electronic equipment need to be given using Australian ground aids.
b. There are some circumstances where compliance can only be demonstrated or modification can only be performed by the manufacturer in which cases the applicant should note the possibility of difficulties developing later, should he proceed without that compliance.
Appendix 2 AC 21-2B CHG 1 Page 6 11/13/70 C. In the circumstances concerned, the U.S. Export Certificate of Airworthiness, if it has been issued for no longer than 90 days or 50 operating hours, will be validated, if so requested, to permit the aircraft to be flown to Australia. An Australian Certificate of Airworthiness will be issued for the aircraft only when it has been demonstrated to the Department of Civil Aviation that the previously unfulfilled requirements have been complied with or agreement has been reached with the Australian applicant as to a program of compliance. *
4. In some cases it may not be possible, before export of an aircraft to Australia, to provide all the documents and data required by the relevant * Section of Part 101 of Air Navigation Orders. In these cases an Export Certificate of Airworthiness for export to Australia may be issued in accordance with the requirements prescribed in Part 2l of the Federal Aviation Regulations when as many of the documents and data as possible are supplied to the responsible region of the FAA and documents and data not supplied are clearly defined. The Export Certificate of Airworthiness will be endorsed with those exceptions and with the applicable Section of Air Navigation Orders, Part 101 against which the supply of documents and data has been assessed. The following guidance is offered:
a. The documents and data required, by the Air Navigation Orders, to be supplied to the Director General of Civil Aviation, include data on each aircraft as well as on the aircraft type. These latter documents are only required when the aircraft is the first of its type to be imported into Australia. Subsequent aircraft of the same type and model are only required to be supported by documents appropriate to the individual aircraft.
b. The vendor or exporter should obtain advice from the purchaser (on the basis of information furnished to the purchaser by the Australian Department of Civil Aviation), or from a representative of the Department of Civil Aviation, as to whether an aircraft is the first of its type or model to be imported into Australia.
* Practically all of the documents and data concerned can only be supplied by the manufacturer and therefore, the applicant should note the possibility of difficulties developing later should he proceed without that material.
d. In the circumstances concerned, the United States Export Certificate of Airworthiness may be validated, if so requested, to permit the aircraft to be flown to Australia. An Australian Certificate of Airworthiness will be issued for the aircraft only when the remaining documents and data have been supplied to the Department of Civil Aviation or agreement has been reached with the Australian applicant as to a program for supply of the material.

5. Aircraft engines and propellers which are exported to Australia as spares, i,e., not as parts of a particular aircraft, to be eligible for use on Australian aircraft must comply with the type design, must be new or newly overhauled as defined in Part 21 of the United States FARs and must have a log book. In addition, such engines and propellers are required to conform with modifications and specified manufacturers' service documents which are made mandatory by Air Navigation Orders.
The following guidance is offered:
a. A United States Export Certificate of Airworthiness for export to Australia will be considered as evidence that an aircraft engine or propeller conforms with the type design and is either new or newly overhauled.
b. Engines and propellers need not incorporate modifications or manufacturers' service documents made mandatory by the Director-General prior to export to Australia. However, since it may be difficult to determine in Australia whether the product complies with the mandatory documents, information as to the modification status of a product would be of help to the Australian user. An appropriate statement either in a log book or separately issued by the person or organization issuing the United States Export Certificate of Airworthiness will be considered as evidence of the modification status.
6 - Class II and Class III products which are exported to Australia as spares, 1.e., not as parts of a particular aircraft, to be eligible for use on Australian aircraft must conform with the type design and must be new or newly overhauled as defined in Part 21 of the United States FARs. In addition, such products are required to conform with modifications and specified manufacturers' service documents which are made mandatory by Air Navigation Orders. The following guidance is offered:
a. An Airworthiness Approval Tag, FAA Form 8130-3, issued in accordance with the requirements of Part 2l of the United States FARS will be considered as evidence that the products conform with the type design and are either new or newly overhauled.
b. Products need not incorporate modification or manufacturers' service documents made mandatory by the Director General prior to export to Australia. However, since it may be difficult to determine in Australia whether the product complies with the mandatory documents;
information as to the modification status of a product would be of help to the Australian user. A statement by the person issuing the airworthiness approval tag will be considered as evidence of the modification status of the products.
