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. An export *
Page 2 AC 21-2B CHG 1 11/13/70 * approval may be issued upon request for a product to be exported to a country not covered in either Appendix 2 or 4, however, such an approval would certify compliance with only U.S. airworthiness standards. Assurance of compliance with any other requirements which the country may impose would be the responsibility of the exporter and importer, unless the country chooses to submit their special requirements for publication in this advisory circular.
An Export Certificate of Airworthiness, FAA Form 8130-4, certifies compliance with applicable requirements but DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AUTHORITY TO OPERATE AN AIRCRAFT. Information and guidance concerning appropriate airworthiness certificates and/or flight permits are in Advisory Circular No. 20-65, "U.S. Airworthiness Certificates and Authorizationsfor Operation of Domestic and Foreign Aircraft." * FAR 21.323 Eligibility. Normally, U.S. citizens engaged in the business of selling civil aircraft and related products are the ones who will be the most interested in obtaining export airworthiness approvals for products being exported; however, other persons, such as individual aircraft owners or operators, are also eligible provided all other pertinent requirements are met. It should be noted that, due to limited FAA resources, only those manufacturers holding an FAA production approval, and who have in their employ a designated representative of the Administrator, are eligible to obtain export airworthiness approvals * for Class III products covered by their production approvals.
3. FAR 21.325 Export Airworthiness Approvals.
Samples of the export airworthiness approval forms are shown in Appendix 1. This section of the regulations covers all the products which may be approved for export. Subparagraph (b)(2) of Section
21.325 was adopted to make it possible for an owner of a U.S.
certificated aircraft, engine, or propeller which at the time may be located in a foreign country, to obtain an export airworthiness approval necessary to the sale of such product to a foreign citizen without the necessity of returning the product to the U.S. Prior to concluding a sales agreement, however, the U.S. owner/exporter is cautioned to contact the appropriate FAA Office (See Appendix 3) to determine whether the export airworthiness approval can be issued* without creating an administrative and inspection burden on the FAA.
b. The date of issuing an export airworthiness approval will always be the date the product concerned was inspected by the FAA and found to comply with the pertinent requirements. In other words, an export airworthiness approval means that AS OF THE DATE OF ITS
AC 21-2B CHG 1 Page 3 11/13/70 ISSUANCE the product covered thereby was found to be airworthy and in compliance with the applicable requirements except for any deviations authorized by the air authority of the importing country. In order to preclude complaints from foreign countries and subsequent investigations by the FAA, it is recommended that the U.S. exporter ensure the product still meets the pertinent requirements when delivered to the foreign importer.
Except for any special requirements which have been filed with the FAA by the country of import, and those additional requirements specified in FAR 21, Subpart L, the issue of an export airworthiness approval does not attest to compliance with any requirements which may go beyond the MINIMUM airworthiness standards of the regulations governing domestic certification and maintenance of U.S. aircraft.
The FAA considers that any additional requirement of the importer is a matter for settlement between the importer and the U.S. exporter. This is particularly important where USED products are concerned.
4. FAR 21.327 Application, Samples of Application for Export Certificate of Airworthiness, FAA Form 8130-1, are shown in Appendix 1. Part I of the application should be completed for Class I products and Part II for Class II products. Class II products being exported by production certificate holders and all Class III products do not require a written application. In these cases, oral application or request should be made to the appropriate FAA designated representative. Subparagraph (a) and
(b) below provide information regarding completion of Parts I and II of the application.
a • PART I - (For Class I products)
(1) Export Certificate No. - Leave blank.
(2) Items 1 through 4 - Self-explanatory.
(3) Item 5 Description of Products)_- Self-explanatory, except as follows:
* For an aircraft not under U.S. registry, insert in the "Identification No." block the nationality and registration marks supplied by the country of registry or intended registry and which are displayed on the aircraft. For U.S.
registered aircraft, insert the identification marks as assigned under FAR Part 47. Any questions concerning the marking requirements of the importing country should be resolved between the exporter/importer and the civil air authority of that country.

(b) Under "FAA Spec. No." insert the pertinent specification number or the type certificate data sheet number, whichever is applicable.
(c) Under operating time "since overhaul" and "total," leave blank for new products. For used aircraft, insert the operating hours since the annual type inspection required * by FAR 21.329, and the total time in service. Since used engines and propellers must have been newly overhauled, under FAR 21.329(e), the operating time since overhaul would reflect only run-in time as required to complete the overhaul process.
(d) porter the eide bloke anilt applicable, the
(4) Item 6. . Applicable to new aircraft, to used aircraft being certificated for the first time, and to the operational flight check of used aircraft following major repairs, modifications, or alterations, as required by FAR 91.167.
Items 7 and 8. These items are self-explanatory; however, if the "No" box is checked, explain the deviations in Item 10 and attach the original or true copy of covering statements, obtained from the civil air authority of the importing country, that the product will be acceptable with the deviations listed on the Export Certificate of Airworthiness.
(6) Item 9. Although special corrosion and damage preventative treatment for products being exported via overseas shipment is not required by the regulation, this item provides a means of officially documenting the status of such treatment as required by the regulation. It is recommended that such products always be appropriately treated for corrosion and
(7) Item 10 Remarks. This space is to be used to convey the information required under items 7 and 8 and as additionally required by the regulation. This space may also be used by the exporter to convey any other infomation he feels is pertinent to facilitate issuance of the export airworthiness approval. Additional sheets may be attached as necessary and appropriately crossreferenced. In addition, list the documentation required by the regulation to be submitted with the application. After review by the FAA representative, those documents which are required to be furnished to the importing country under FAR
21.335 will be returned to the applicant.
