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.

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.

If the quantity and variety of parts are too voluminous to list in the space provided, check the first block and, on the line provided, specifically identify (and attach) the exporter's shipping document covering the parts concerned. Otherwise, check the second block and list the parts in the space provided. In either case, if more than one type of Class II product is involved, they are to be listed according to the Class I product to which they pertain. Also list serial numbers or equivalent means of identifying each physical product.
(5) Item 19. Exporter's Certification. This certification is to be dated and signed in ink by the exporter. The name of the person signing the application is to be typed or printed on the torm. If the person signing the application is the exporter's representative, insert the representative's title in the space provided.
5. FAR 21.329, Issue of Export Certificates of Airworthiness, FAA Form 8130-4, for Class I Products. Under the provisions of this Section, an aircraft of U.S. manufacture need not already possess a standard or restricted airworthiness certificate, but it is required to meet the requirements FOR such a certificate, as applicable. On the other hand, an aircraft of foreign manufacture is required to possess a valid U.S.
STANDARD airworthiness certificate issued under the provisions of FAR 21.183 (c).
Page 6 AC 21-2B CHG 1 11/13/70
6. FAR 21.331 Issue of Airworthiness Approval Tags, FAA Form 8130-3, for CLASS II Products. Among other things, Class II products are required to be identified by means of serial numbers or equivalent. This requirement is to provide for positive identification of each product covered by the export airworthiness approval similar to that provided for Class I products. This should be of benefit both to the exporter and the FAA because, in the past, when complaints have been received from foreign countries, there was no way to determine, in some cases, whether the parts in question were actually those covered by an export airworthiness approval or had ever been issued such an approval.
7. FAR 21.335 Responsibilities of Exporters.
Regarding paragraph (e) of FAR 21.335, when title to a U.S. registered and certificated aircraft passes to the foreign buyer, the certificate cancellation request, the certification regarding removal of the U.S. markings, and the registration and airworthiness certificates being returned for cancellation, should be transmitted to the following address by the exporter:
Federal Aviation Administration Aircraft Registration Branch, AC-250 Aircraft Records Building, P.O. Box 1082 oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73101
b. The act of showing that products meet the pertinent requirements, as required by Sections 21.329, 21.331, and 21.333, carries with it the responsibility for making the products available to the FAA representative for whatever inspection he considers necessary and appropriate in each case, Normally, his inspection will consist of a review of the application (when applicable), a review of all related documents, and an inspection of the finished product or products to determine their eligibility, proper identification and configuration, condition for safe operation, and compliance with special requirements, (if any) of the importing country.
8. PAR L1.339 Special Export Airworthiness Approval for Aircrait. in che case or aircrait exported under the provisions of FAR 21.339, when title to the aircraft has passed to a foreign purchaser, the exporter should:
a. Ensure that all countries except the country in which the aircraft is sold are deleted by use of ink or typewriter from the original Export C of A which was carried in the aircraft, * Comply with FAR 21.335(e) (reference paragraph 7a of this Advisory Circular)

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."
410-605 0 - 70 - 3
Appendix 2 AC 21-2B CHG 1 Page 4 11/13/70
(d) A.N.O. Section 101.10, "Imported Rotorcraft Designed to CAR and FAR in the Transport Category.
(2) Normal, Utility, and Acrobatic Categories.
(a) A.N.O. Section 101.22, Imported Aeroplanes in the Normal, Utility and Acrobatic Categories.
(b) A.N.O. Section 101.24, 'Imported Rotorcraft in the Normal Category."
Agricultural Category. A.N.O. Section 101.17, "Imported Aeroplanes Not Above 12,500 1b. in the Agricultural Category."
(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.
