Appendix 2

COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA - SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS (Revised March 1991) SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION. A bilateral agreement between Australia and the United States (U.S.) came into effect by the Exchange of Notes in December 1974 and June 1975 and superseded the agreement of 1959 relating to the reciprocal acceptance of aeronautical products.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 Australian import certification are dealt with in the current issue of Part 100 of Australian Civil Aviation Orders (CAO's).

(2) A U.S. Export Certificate of Airworthiness for export to Australia (or agreed alternative) with pertinent data will be required in connection with any Class I product and engine modules exported from the United States to Australia. Class Il and Class III products to be eligible for installation on certificated civil aircraft registered in Australia must be processed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Part 21 of the United States Federal Aviation Regulations. The requirement for an Export Certificate of Airworthiness for an aircraft exported to Australia may be waived on production, to the Australian CAA delegate, of:

(i) documentary evidence that the aircraft was registered in a Contracting State and that a standard Certificate of Airworthiness in accordance with ICAO Annex 8 was in force in respect of the aircraft at the time of export from the Contracting State;

(ii) certification by the holder of an appropriately rated Certificate of Approval that the aircraft has been inspected in accordance with manufacturer's instructions for continued airworthiness to the extent necessary to establish that the aircraft is satisfactory for the issue of an Australian Certificate of Airworthiness; and

(111) certification, made in relevant log books by the Certificate of Approval holder that, following an inspection of the WeEd with the relevant type certifiese Doc Sheet and apsicable suppiemental lype Certiricates and all modiiications comply with the applicable design standards.

(3) Where the issue of an Export Certificate of Airworthiness is relevant, the certificate shall be issued within a period of 90 days or 50 operating hours, whichever is the lesser period, immediately preceding the date of application for Australian certification or validation, as appropriate, except as otherwise 4

Page 20OCROpen in PDF

Appendix 2 acceptable to Australia in a particular case. The Export Certificate of Airworthiness shall be accompanied by a document (e.g•, aircrait logbook), furnished by the applicant, which contains entries identifying those applicable FAA Airworthiness Directives (AD's) with which compliance has been achieved. This document shall also identify those AD's containing repetitive compliance requirements, and when compliance is next due to be satisfied. All applicable FAA AD's must have been complied with prior to issuance of the U.S.

Export Certificate of Airworthiness.

The applicant for a U.S. Export Certificate of Airworthiness is also responsible for satisfying all other Australian Special Requirements (identified in Section 2), as appropriate, ior the particular product being exported to Australia and all applicable sections of FAR 21, Subpart L, before the U.S. Export Certificate of Airworthiness can be issued.

(5) Copies of CAO's may be perused at the various aircraft certification or regional offices of the Federal Aviation Administration, or may be obtained by mail from the Civil Aviation Authority Publication Centre, P.O. Box 1986, Carlton South, Victoria, 3053, Australia, Facsimile No. 61-3-3474407.

B. Acceptance of Aircraft.

(1) Prior to issue of a Certificate of Airworthiness to an aircraft exported to Australia, the aircraft must be of a type and model as defined on the FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet or Specification that either:

(a) has previously been issued with a Certificate of Airworthiness by the Australian authority; or

(b) is the subject of a Certificate of Type Approval issued by the Civil Aviation Authority of Australia.

(2) The Civil Aviation Authority may require documents other than the FAA Type Certificate and Type Certificate Data Sheet to be supplied for continuing airworthiness control purposes prior to issue of the first Australian Certificate of Airworthiness on a new type or model. Design familiarization for technical specialists may also be required for the same reason.

Compliance with Australian Air Navigation (Aircraft Noise) Regulations is required. Subsonic jet aircraft added to the Australian register after January 1, 1991, will not be permitted to operate unless they meet ICAO Chapter 3 noise standards.

C. Acceptance of Engines, Auxiliary Power Units, and Propellers.

(1) Aircraft engines, auxiliary power units, and propellers which are exported to Australia as spares, i.e., not as parts oi e particular aircraft, to be eligible for use on Australian aircraft 5

Page 21OCROpen in PDF

Appendix 2 must comply with the type design, be new or newly overhauled as defined in Part 2l of the United States FAR's and have a relevant logbook. Before installation in, or fitment to, an aircraft in Australia, such products are required to conform with any applicable Australian Airworthiness Directives.

(2) A U.S. Export Certificate of Airworthiness will be accepted as evidence that an engine or propeller conforms with the type design and is either new or newly overhauled as the case may be.

(3) Engines and propellers need not incorporate modifications or manufacturers service documents made mandatory by Australian AD's prior to export of the product to Australia.

However, since it may be difficult to determine in Australia whether the product complies with the mandatory documents, information as to the modification status of a particular product would be of help to the Australian user. An appropriate statement, either in a logbook or separately issued by the person or organization issuing the U.s.

Export Certificate of Airworthiness or appropriate certification document, will be accepted as evidence of the modification status.

D. Acceptance of Appliances and Components.

(1) Items classified as Class II and Class III products by FAR 21 (Subpart L, Section 21.321) and which are exported to Australia as spares, i.e., not as parts oi a particular aircrait, nust conform to the type design and must be new or newly overhaulec as defined in FAR 21 in order to be eligible for use on Australian aircraft. Before installation in, or fitment to, an aircraft in Australia, such products are required to conform with any applicable Australian Airworthiness Directives.

(2) An Airworthiness Approval Tag, FAA Form 8130-3, issued in accordance with the requirements of FAR 21, or other document specified in CAO's Part 100* or otherwise specified or approved by the CAA, will be accepted as evidence that the products conform with the type design and are either new or newly overhauled.

Products need not incorporate modifications or manufacturer's service documents made mandatory by Australian Airworthiness Directives. However, since it may be difficult to determine in Australia whether the product complies with the mandatory documents, information as to the modification status of a product would be of help to the Australian user. A statement by the person issuing the airworthiness approval tag or alternative document will be accepted as evidence of the modification status of the products.

*Documents specified in CAO's Part 100 for this purpose are detailed in Section 2, Special Requirements (paragraph c).

Page 22OCROpen in PDF

Appendix 2 E. Restricted and Limited Category Aircraft. Aircraft certificated in the United States only in the Restricted Category could be eligible for export to and certification in Australia in the Agricultural Category in accordance with Section 101.17 of the CAO's.
