FRANCE, REPUBLIC OF - SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Introduction. Effective October 12, 1968, to be eligible for a French standard airworthiness certificate an aircraft imported into France must be of a type which has been issued a French type certificate for import, except as provided in paragraph 2a(2) of these special requirements. In addition, U.S. manufactured aircraft must meet the export rules in Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 21, Subpart L. The requirements for issuance of French type certificates are contained in a document 'Conditions de Navigabilite des Aéronefs Civile - Arrêté of September 1967," (for convenience, referred to hereinafter as the "CNAC") and in French Circular No. 5403 DIA/M, S.G.A.C. dated November 13, 1968. Othei french documents and circulars also apply, as referred to in the text that follows. Copies of French documents and circulars can be obtained from the Ministry of Transportation, Secretariat General of Civil Aviation, Direction des Transports Aériens, 93, Boulevard du Montparnasse, Paris 6, France. Since a French type certificate for import is a prerequisite to issuance of a French airworthiness certificate, these special requirements include an outline of the general requirements for obtaining such type certificates.
2. Requirements for Issuance of French Airworthiness Certificates and Permits.
a. Standard Airworthiness Certificates.
(1) Except as provided in paragraph 2a(2), a U.S. Export Certificate of Airworthiness, FAA Form 8130-4, may be exchanged against a French airworthiness certificate only if the following requirements have been met.
(a) The aircraft type must have a French type certificate for import.
(b) The requirements of Article 11B of the CNAC must be complied with.
(2) If a French standard airworthiness certificate was issued prior to October 12, 1968, for at least one aircraft of a particular type, then aircraft of that type may continue to be issued French standard airworthiness certificates on the basis of equivalency with the U.S. export certificate of airworthiness, even though the particular model involved may not have been iasued a French type certificate for import. French airworthiness certificates are issued under these conditions subject to compliance with other requirements of the CNAC (reference CNAC Article 5, paragraph 2).
AC 21-2B Appendix 2 10/2/69 Page 15 An aircraft having major changes which required approval under Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 21, Section
21.97 and/or FAR Part 21, Subpart E is not eligible to obtain a French airworthiness certificate under the provisions of paragraph 2a(2), even though an aircraft of the same model may have been issued a French airworthiness certificate prior to October 12, 1968. In order to obtain a French standard airworthiness certificate, the appiicant must comply with the procedures outlined under paragraph 2a(1). A French type certificate for import or an extension of a type certificate for import will be issued each time that the FAA issues a new type certificate or an STC for a model based on a model previously imported.
Special Airworthiness Certificates. A French special airworthiness certificate may be issued to an aircraft of a model for which application has been made for a French type certificate for import, in order to facilitate its use under the conditions spelled out in Article 5, paragraph 2B of the CNAC, provided that the Secretariat General of Aviation Civil (S.G.A.C.) is familiar with the model. In addition, the procedure required for issuance of special airworthiness certificates will be applied in the case of aircraft in the restricted category.
Co Permit. A permit may be issued by the S.G.A.C. to an aircraft which has provisional French registration markings, only to permit the ferrying and tests necessary for aircraft type certification. Normally, the S.G.A.C. will not authorize any private utilization and the permit may, basically, be renewed only for a total period of time not to exceed one year (reference CNAC Articles 13 and 19, and Article 5, paragraph 3).
3. Requirements for Issuance of French Type Certificates for Import for U.S.
Manufactured Aircraft.
Applicant.
(1) The applicant for a French type certificate for import must be the person responsible for maintaining the level of airworthiness for the aircraft. Generally such person would be the manufacturer who originally obtained, and who holds the U.S. type certificate.
If the U.S. type certificate has been transferred by the original holder, the new holder (applicant) must be capable of, and responsible for maintaining the level of airworthiness.
In exceptional cases, it is possible to accept an application for a French type certificate for import from a person who is not the U.S. type certificate holder, provided that the applicant furnishes proof that he has been duly authorized to take over complete responsibility for the type certificate under the licensing provisions of Federal Aviation Regulations Part 21, Section 21.47.
Appendix 2 AC 21-2B CHG 1 Page 16 11/13/70
b. Documents. The required documents are specified in Article Il of the CNAC and under paragraph 5 of these special requirements.
c. Special Conditions. A U.S. applicant for a French type certificate for import must show compliance with the applicable FARS, plus any special conditions imposed by the S.G.A.C. Three types of special conditions are outlined in paragraphs 3c(1), (2), and (3). The primary purpose of the special conditions is to guarantee an airworthiness level equivalent to that of aircraft built and certified in France.
(1) Administrative Special Conditions.
(a) Language. The documents which the S.G.A.C. requires to be furnished may be in English except for the following, which must be provided in French:
1 The type certificate (I.C.), data sheet;
2 The flight manual; and 2 The proposed maintenance guide.
NOTE: The S.G.A.C. will verify the translations of these documents and must approve the IC data sheet and the flight manual.
(b) Document Format. The I.C. data sheet, flight manual, and proposed maintenance guide must be prepared in accordance with the formats specified in the following:
- I.C. Data Sheet. The SGAC will accept a simple translation into French of the TC data sheets approved by the FAA.
2 Flight Manual. The flight manual in French, which must be carried in each aircraft imported into France, must be either a simple translation of the FAA approved flight manual when one exists, or if a flight manual does not exist, a similar document must be established for the purpose of import into France and must contain the following sections:
a Limitations.
• Normal Operations Emergency Operations.
Performance (Limited to only the approved performance conforming to the requirements of the applicable airworthiness FAR part.)
AC 21-2B Appendix 2 10/2/69 Page 17 Proposed Maintenance Guide. It is recommended that the proposed maintenance guide correspond to the instructions of the GENERAL DEFINITION OF "ROUTINE MAINTENANCE" INSPECTION of the Bureau Veritas, copies of which are available from any FAA Regional Office, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch (Aircraft Engineering Division (AED) in the Western Region).
Units of Measurement. Aircraft instruments must be graduated in terms of legal or accepted French units;
however, where other units are used in accordance with strongly established aeronautical practice, and if failure to comply with this practice would reduce aircraft safety, then such units may be accepted and must be used in the manuals. If illegal or unaccepted units are used, the manuals must contain conversion tables. The following chart outlines legal and acceptable units of measurement.
Legal Units Units Allowed in Aeronautics Measure Name Symbol Name Symbol Leng th Meter* Nautical Mile NM Area Square Meter* Volume Cubic Meter* Liter* Angles Degree* Mass Kilo* kg Time second, minute, hour mn h Frequency Hertz* (1 cycle per second) Speed Meter per second m/s Feet per minute ft/mr Kilometer per hour km/h Knots Kts Acceleration Meter per second square m/s2 Temperature Kelvin degree Centigrade Work Joule* Power Watt* Pressure (bar) Pressure Millibar mb * With decimal multiples and sub-multiples.
NOTE: Electrical units: Ampere, Volt, Ohm -- International System.
Appendix 2 AC 21-2B Page 18 10/2/69
(2) General Technical Special Conditions. These special conditions would be required as a result of differences between the French regulations and the U.S. Federal Aviation Regulations.
(3) Specifi- Technical Special Conditions. These conditions would pertain to any possible unusual characteristics in the design, construction, or operation of the aircraft under consideration.
How to Get a French Type Certificate for Import. In the following procedures, any of the required documents and data which would normally be approved by the FAA for issuance of U.S. type certificates must also be FAA approved for issuance of French type certificates for import.
a. General.
(1) The French require that the application be submitted to the pertinent government agency. Insofar as the FAA 1s concerned, this means that the application must be submitted to the FAA regional office of the region in which the applicant is located, Attention: Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch (AED) in the western Region), who will transmit the application to the S.G.A.C. (An example of a standard application form is reproduced under paragraph 6 of these special requirements.) A statement including the following information, and signed by the Chief of the Engineering and Manufacturing Branch ((AED) in the Western Region), should be provided the S.G.A.C. with the application:
(a) The FAR upon which the issuance of the U.S. type certificate is based;
(b) If applicable, a copy of the complete text of each special condition imposed by the FAA in connection with issuance of the type certificate; and
(c) If applicable, a copy of the complete text of each exemption which may have been granted.
(2) The manufacturer should provide the S.G.A.C. with all of the officially requested documents (reference paragraph 5).
(3) Following compliance with preceding paragraphs 4a (1) and 4a(2), the S.G.A.C. will transmit to the FAA Washington Office (FS-100) the special conditions as provided for under paragraph 3c, with a copy to the appropriate FAA regional office and a copy to the applicant.
AC 21-2B Appendix 2 10/2/69 Page 19
(4) The aircraft would be considered eligible for a French Type Certificate for Import when the FAA certifies to the S.G.A.C.
that the aircraft type meets the French special conditions and the Federal Aviation Regulations upon which issuance of the U.S.
type certificate is based. This certification does not preclude special requests which the S.G.A.C. might subsequently submit in order to make certain in-flight checks and/or certain technological inspections on its own.
Special Procedures for Delegation Option Manufacturers. Manufacturers holding a delegation option authorization, issued under FAR Part 21, Subpart J, must comply with the general provisions of paragraph 4a, except as follows:
(1) Applications for a French type certificate for import may be submitted directly to the S.G.A.C., with a copy to the FAA regional office. The manufacturer should state in his application that he holds an FAA delegation option authorization, giving the date of issue, FAA region which issued the authorization, and the number assigned. The French type certificate for import, when issued, will be addressed directly to the manufacturer, with a copy to the regional office.
(2) The S.G.A.C. will accept statements, certifications, and 1asuances that are within the scope of FAR Part 21, Subpart J, provided that:
(a) Pertinent documents are signed by personnel approved by the FAA (reference FAR Part 21, Section 21.235 (b)); and,
(b) The manufacturer furnishes a list of authorized signatures to the S.G.A.C. and maintains the list in a current condition.
