Appendix 2
UNITED KINGDOM- SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS (Revised - April 1981) SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION A new bilateral agreement between the United Kingdom (U.K.) and the United States (U.S.) came into effect by the Exchange of Notes in December 1972 and superseded the Exchange of Notes of 1934 relating to the reciprocal acceptance of aeronautical products. The manner in which this agreement will be implemented is described below.
A. Administration and Procedures.
(1) The procedures which must be followed to obtain U.K. certification are dealt with in the current issue of Section A of British Civil Airworthiness Requirements (BCAR) which also prescribes the documents which must be supplied for prototype and series aircraft.
(2) An Export Certificate of Airworthiness (or agreed alternative) with pertinent data attached will be required in connection with any Class I product and engine modules exported from the U.S. to the U.K.
Class II and Class III products to be eligible for installation on certificated civil aircraft registered in the U.K. must be processed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Part 2l of the United States Federal Aviation Regulations.
(3) Where the issue of an Export Certificate of Airworthiness is relevant, it shall be accompanied by a document (e.g., aircraft logbook), furnished by the applicant, which contains entries identifying those applicable FAA Airworthiness Directives (AD) and UK-CAA Additional Directives (CAA-AD) with which compliance has been achieved.
document shall also identify those AD's and CAA-AD's containing repetitive compliance requirements (e.g., inspection requirements for a particular component at 50-hour intervals) and when next compliance is due to be satisfied. All AD's and CAA-AD's must have been complied with prior to the issuance of the U.S. Export Certificate of Airworthiness unless otherwise waived by the UK-CAA.
(4) The applicant for a U.S. Export Certificate of Airworthiness is also responsible for satisfying all other U.K. Special Requirements (identified in Section 2 of this Appendix), as appropriate, for the particular product being exported to the U.K. and all applicable requirements of FAR 21, Subpart L, before the U.S. Export Certificate of Airworthiness can be issued.
(5) British documents providing information on the procedures and requirements for U.K. acceptance of U.S. products are on file in each FAA Regional office and are available for review by the exporter.
Appendix 2 B. Acceptance of Aircraft.
(1) In accordance with paragraph 4 of the U.K./U.S. bilateral agreement, the U.K. will require to become conversant with the design of all fixed-wing aircraft in excess of 2,730 kg (6,000 lbs.) weight intended for use in the U.K. Transport Category, the design of all aircraft exceeding 5,700 kg (12,500 1bs.) regardless of the intended certification category, and all rotorcraft offered for U.K. certification. Additionally, in accordance with the policy declared in CAA Airworthiness Notice No. 15, the CAA may require to evaluate certain aircraft of less than 5700 kg.
weight which have unusual design features. The CAA may then issue Special Conditions to cover certain features which would otherwise not meet the standards which are implicit in BCAR and the U.K. Air Navigation Order.
(2) Once the U.K. standard for certification has been determined and, where necessary, U.K. Special Conditions have been published, the U.K. will, in accordance with paragraph 9(h) (ii) of the U.K./U.S.
bilateral agreement, accept aircraft and rotorcraft to this standard and U.K. Special Conditions, as applicable, together with the appiicable ADs and U.K. equivalent retrospective requirements, while they continue in production. Modifications to the aircraft may also be made, provided the requirements used as the basis of U.K. certification are complied with, or alternatively, that the CAA agree that the modifications are acceptable.
(3) For aircraft which are no longer in production, the CAA reserves the right to modify the basis of U.K. certification, or to refuse certification in accordance with paragraph 9(h) (iii) of the U.K./U.S.
bilateral agreement. Where U.K. certification of such aircraft is sought, reference should be made to the Civil Aviation Authority who will advise the position pertaining at that time.
C. Acceptance of Engine, Auxiliary Power Units and Propellers.
(1) In accordance with paragraph 4 of the U.K./U.S. bilateral agreement a preliminary investigation may be required to establish the standard offered for U.K. certification and, where necessary, any Special Conditions the CAA may wish to apply. In the case of turbine engines for aeroplanes, the Special Condition requirements will be limited to those arising from unorthodox design features in accordance with the U.K./U.S.
reciprocal acceptance agreement.
When compliance with the U.K. standard for certification has been established, the U.K. will accept engines (including engine modules), auxiliary power units, and propellers and parts therefore to the defined standard while they continue to be in production subject only to compliance with subsequent applicable ADs and U.K. equivalent retrospective requirements. Modifications will also be accepted subject to compliance with the U.K. certification basis.
Appendix 2
(3) for engines, auxiliary power units, and propellers which are no longer in production, the CAA reserves the right, in accordance with paragraph 9(h) (iii) of the U.K./U.S. bilateral agreement, to modify the basis of acceptance or to refuse certification.
D. Acceptance of Appliances and Components.
(1) Radio The procedures which must be followed to obtain U.K. acceptance of radio equipment are dealt with in the current issue of Section A, Chapter A3-4, of the BCAR.
(2) Appliances (other than Radio) Those appliances (other than radio) as so defined in Section 3 must be registered to obtain U.K. acceptance. The procedures which must be followed to obtain acceptance of such appliances are dealt with in Section A, Chapter A3-3, of BCAR. An acceptable method of complying with these procedures is contained in section 3.
(3) Components Components which are produced in the U.S. for export and used on products which are or may be certificated or approved in the U.K. will be accepted by the CAA provided:
(i) They are properly designated, and
(ii) The FAA or its designee certifies that the components conform to the applicable design data and meet the applicable test and quality control requirements which have been notified by the CAA to the FAA.
These provisions apply to those components which are produced by a manufacturer in the U.S. pursuant to an agreement between the manufacturer and the product manufacturer in the U.K.
E. Restricted Category Aircraft.
(1) Applications for U.K. certification of aircraft certificated in the U.S. in a restricted category will be considered on an individual basis.
(2) The applicant for export certification must furnish to the CAA, information describing how the aircraft differs from the type certification basis for a standard certificate - if standard certification of the type design has been made. The applicant shall provide evidence of compliance with this requirement, to the FAA or its designee, at the time of issue of the export certificate. If the applicant does not have some form of approval under the FAR, the FAA will verify the correctness of this information and will so notify CAA by the appropriate means.
_AC 21-2E 5/18/81 Appendix 2
(3) On the basis of this evidence, the CAA will decide whether it is necessary to seek further information from the FAA and which, if any, of the procedures described in paragraphs (1) and (2) above shall be invoked.
