d. Aeroplanes which replace aeroplanes which have been accidentally destroyed and which cannot be replaced by a comparable aeroplane with noise certification available on the market, provided that the recistration of the replacement aeroplane is carried out within one year following the destruction in question; and the replacement aeroplane is removed from the register within two years after registration.

e. Aeroplanes of historic interest.

4.2 In special cases, and under conditions to be defined, the Director of the Aeronautical Inspection Directorate, Department of Civil Aviation (RLD) may allow the application of other noise requirements provided the noise levels are at least equivalent to hose required for the aeroplane according to the ICAO Annex 16.

volume 1, Noise Standards, and on the understanding that subsonic jet aeroplanes and propeller-driven aeroplanes of over 5700 kg maximum certificated takeoff mass have to comply with the provisions of paragraph 1.1 above.

NOTE: At present, no Certificates of Airworthiness are issued for Ultra Light Aeroplanes. However, permission to fly without a Certificate of Airworthiness will only be granted under specified conditions.

As far as the noise emission is concerned, it is not permitted to use ultra light aeroplanes in the Netherlands unless the noise level measured in a full power flyover in 150 meters is below 60 dB(A).

Two-seaters which are used for instruction purposes only are admitted if the noise level does not exceed 63 dB(A).
