Certification basis Type Certificate No. A-807 issued under CAR 10.
Import requirements A U. S. Airworthiness Certificate may be issued on basis of a United Kingdom
Certificate of Airworthiness for Export signed by a representative of the Ministry of
Transport and Civil Aviation containing the following notation: "The airplane covered
by this certificate has been examined and found to comply with British Civil
Airworthiness Requirements published Jan. 1947 and with the special requirements
notified by the U.S. Government to the Government of the United Kingdom."
Refer to the applicable bilateral agreement to verify eligibility for import into the United
States of both new and used aircraft based on the scope of the agreement, to identify any
required statements by the exporting authority on the export certificate of airworthiness
(or equivalent document), and for procedures for coordinating exceptions to conformity
statements on these documents. Refer to FAA Order 8130.2, Airworthiness Certification
of Aircraft, for requirements for issuance of an airworthiness certificate for imported
aircraft.

Service Information Each of the documents listed below may state that it is approved by the United Kingdom
Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA).
• Service bulletins
• Structural repair manuals
• Vendor manuals
• Aircraft flight manuals
• Overhaul and maintenance manuals
The FAA accepts such documents and considers them FAA-approved for type design
data unless one of the following conditions exist:
• The documents change the limitations, performance, or procedures of the FAA
approved manuals.
The FAA uses post type validation procedures to approve these documents. The FAA
may delegate case-by -case approval to the UK CAA on behalf of the FAA for the U.S.
type certificate. If this is the case it will be noted on the document.
