(c) (Reference subparagraph b(5).) The invoking of this condition is strictly limited to, what would be deemed by the Air Registration Board, exceptional circumstances.
(2) Piston-engined Aeroplanes having an all-up-weight between 6000 pounds and 12,500 pounds.
(a) (Reference subparagraph b(1).) Advantage may be taken of the British Simplified Requirements for small aeroplanes appropriate to Performance Groups C and D.
(b) Aeroplanes in this section which will not be certificated in the public transport category while on the British Register may have their export certificates of airworthiness validated without establishing compliance with subparagraphs b(1) and b(2), and only in exceptional cases would subparagraph b(5) be invoked.
(3) Piston-engined Aeroplanes having a maximum all-up-weight in excess of 12,500 pounds.
(a) (Reference subparagraph b(1).) As an alternative to this subparagraph, the Air Registration Board will normally be prepared to recommend validation of an aeroplane certificated in the United States transport category for operation in accordance with the rules appropriate to Performance Group X of the Air Navigation (General) Regulations 1960.
(b) The information contained in the flight manual for operations in the United States to Federal Aviation Regulations, Part 121 is usually adequate for this purpose, subject to the provisions of the following additional information:
1 A statement in the flight manual to the effect that the aeroplane must be operated to rules appropriate to Performance Group X of the Air Navigation (General) Regulations 1960.
Data on the effect of the ambient air temperature on the rates of climb with two engines inoperative.
A statement of the air speed to be assumed when complying with the regulations relating to flight over water. (See BCAR, D2-2, paragraph 41.1).
4 The provision of data on the effect of temperature on the en route rate of climb with one engine inoperative is optional. (This data is only needed if the operator wishes to take advantage of the rules permitting use of "drift down" procedures.)
AC 21-2B Appendix 2 10/2/69 Page 63
d. In the case of other than conventional fixed-wing aeroplanes, the Air Registration Board may, for the issue of a recommendation for the validation of the United States export certificate of airworthiness, require compliance to be established with the appropriate British Civil Airworthiness Requirements and such additional requirements as are applied in the United Kingdom.
Administration and Procedures. The administrative procedures which must be followed by the applicant for validation are dealt with in BCAR, Section A. Unless otherwise agreed by the Air Registration Board, each aeroplane submitted for validation shall be accompanied by the following documents:
(1) An export certificate of airworthiness 1ssued within a period of 60 days immediately preceding the date of validation.
(2) Three copies of the flight manual pertaining to the particular aeroplane.
(3) Two copies of the maintenance manual pertaining to the particular aeroplane and prepared in a form which will provide information for the maintenance of the airworthiness of the aeroplane.
NOTE: With reference to (2) and (3) above, fewer copies may be sufficient in cases where there is already an aircraft of the same type on the British Register.
f. Certification of Aeronautical Products. An export certificate of fate attached will be the hied states airworthiness with pertinent data attached will be required in connection with any Class I product exported from the United States to the United Kingdom. To be eligible for installation on certificated civil aircraft registered in the United Kingdom, Class Il and Class III products must be processed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Part 21 of the United States Federal Aviation Regulations.
8 • Special Conditions for Restricted Category Aircraft. Applications for United Kingdom validation of U.S. export certificates of airworthiness issued in respect of restricted category aircraft will be considered on an individual basis and generally subject to the following conditions:
(1) The aircraft type must hold a valid United States 'type certificate and be eligible for export to the United Kingdom.
(2) A statement, endorsed by the Federal Aviation Administration, shall be furnished to the Air Registration Board describing the manner in which the aircraft has been modified from the "standard category" configuration to make it suitable for some "special
Appendix 2 AC 21-2B Page 64 10/2/69 purpose" operation. This statement should also indicate that part of the Federal Aviation Regulations and the FAA Aircraft Specifications or Type Certificate Data Sheet under which the aircraft would have been eligible for type certification in the "standard category" except for those "special purpose" modifications accomplished by the manufacturer and which are approved by the Federal Aviation Administration. Other aspects of the validation procedure being acceptable, the Air Registration Board will, on the basis of the information provided under g(2) and such advice as it may seek from the FAA, decide whether or not to make a recommendation for the United Kingdom validation of the United States export certificate of airworthiness.
Aircraft certificated in the "restricted category" or designed to airworthiness requirements other than FAR, Part 23 or Part 25, will not normally be eligible for United Kingdom validation.
The general procedures as laid down in the United Kingdom Special Conditions dated the lst November 1960 will continue to apply.

EXPORT AIRWORTHINESS APPROVAL PROCEDURES GENERAL.
a. This advisory circular provides general information and guidance concerning issuance of export approvals under Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 21, Subpart L. As appropriate, the information contained herein sets forth an acceptable means, but not the sole means, for compliance with the FAR. Paragraphs 2 through 8 are identified to correspond with the section of the FAR under discussion. Some sections have been intentionally omitted, since their meaning is clear and further discussion is considered unnecessary.
Persons in the United States desiring additional information or advice on how to get an export airworthiness approval may contact the nearest FAA District or Regional Office of the Flight Standards Service, Foreign importers of U.S. aeronautical products and U.S.
citizens located in foreign countries may contact the appropriate FAA office listed in Appendix 3.
C. Certain foreign countries have notified the FAA of their special requirements applicable to import into their countries of U.S.
manufactured aeronautical products or parts. Such requirements are in Appendix 2. These are generally the special requirements referred to in Subpart I of FAR 21; however, this does not preclude one of these countries from applying unique special requirements at their own option. As applicable in such cases, the civil air authority of the importing country may waive a requirement by providing a statement that they will validate an export certificate of airworthiness for a product which does not meet specified, normally applicable FAA requirements. All exceptions covered by the statement from the foreign civil air authority are listed by the issuing FAA representative on the Export Certificate of Airworthiness, FAA Form 8130-4. The special requirements of an importing country, whether general or unique, take precedence over any conflicting FAA airworthiness requirements and are not considered as being "exemptions" from the FAR.
d. Appendix 4 lists the countries with which the U.S. has concluded formal bilateral agreements for reciprocal acceptance of export certificates of airworthiness. The special requirements in Appendix 2 include those submitted by some of the bilateral agreement countries as well as special requirements submitted informally by countries with whom no formal agreement is in effect.
