2. GENERAL.

a. The aircraft, in addition to the requirements prescribed in Part 21 of the United States Federal Aviation Regulations, must be eligible for certification in the "standard" classification. This excludes "restricted", "limited", and "experimental" aircraft, except on an individual basis after referral to the Netherlands Department of Civil Aviation, Rijks Luchtvaart Dienst (RID+).

b. Aircraft with a certification basis older than March 5, 1952, and being of a type which had no Netherlands airworthiness approval during the last six years, are excluded from import to the Netherlands, except on an individual basis after referral to the RID.

c.

An aircraft is considered of an identical type if the changes are none or only minor and do not reduce previously accepted airworthiness standards. The types of aircraft referred above are specified under paragraph 5.

d. For each used aircraft the RID will, after inspection of the aircraft, establish, on the basis of their findings and on the basis of the maintenance records of the aircraft, the phase in the RID approved maintenance schedule from which this schedule must be followed and the additional maintenance to be performed for this phase of the maintenance schedule.
