Import Requirements A United States airworthiness certificate may be issued on the basis of an Australian 
Export Certificate of Airworthiness signed by a representative of the Civil Aviation 
Safety Authority (CASA) containing the following statement:  
 GA200:  “The  airplane covered by this certificate has been examined, tested and found 
to comply with the Master Drawing List GA200-01-02-01 Issue 1 and General 
Specifications B14-00-31 at issue G or later CASA approved revisions approved under 
U.S. Type Certificate No. A00001LA and to be in a condition for safe operation.” 
 GA200C:  “The airplane covered by this certificate has been examined, tested and found 
to comply with the Master Drawing List GA200-01-02-06 Issue 1 and General 
Specifications B14-00-31 at issue B or later CASA approved revisions approved under 
U.S. Type Certificate No. A00001LA and to be in a condition for safe operation.” 
 
 The U.S. airworthiness certification basis for this airplane type certificated under FAR 
21.29 and exported by the country of manufacture is FAR 21.185(c). 
 
 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 
 
 
Certification Basis FAR 21.25 (a) (1), FAR 21.25 (b) (1), FAR 21.25 (b)(2) and FAR 23, dated  
 December 18, 1964, with amendments 1 through 36 “Airworthiness Standards for 
Normal Category Airplanes”, except Section 23.562 (see letter dated April 5, 1995, from 
Manager, LAACO) for the special purpose of: 
 
(1) Agricultural operations under FAR 21.25 (b)(1).   
 
 Note:  In accordance with FAR 36.1(a)(2), compliance with the noise requirements was 
not shown.  Therefore, airplane certificated under this Type Certificate are only eligible 
for agricultural operations excepted by FAR 36.1(a)(2) and defined under FAR  137.3. 
  
(2) Forest and wildlife conservation under FAR 21.25(b)(2).   
 
 Note:  In accordance with FAR 36.1(a)(2), compliance with the noise requirements was 
not shown.  Therefore, airplane certificated under this Type Certificate are only eligible 
for dispensing fire fighting materials excepted by FAR 36.1(a)(2) and defined under FAR 
137.3. 
 
 Noise Control Act of 1972, which has been recodified into USC Title 49, Section 
44715(a)(3). 
 See Note 6 for a finding of an equivalent level of safety to the requirements of FAR 
23.1337(b)(1).

must include full oil (22.2 lbs. at -21.3 inches) and unusable fuel (15.6 lbs. in main tanks 
at + 54.0 inches and 19.2 lbs. in  header tank at + 11.9 inches).  
 
 GA200C: The certificated empty weight and the corresponding center of gravity location 
must include full oil (22.5 lbs. at -21.3 inches) and unusable fuel (15.6 lbs. in main tanks 
at +54.0 inches and 14.4 lbs. in collector tank at +62.2 inches).  
 
Note 2. All required placards in the CASA Approved Pilot’s Operating Manual (for the FAA) 
and the FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual must be installed in the appropriate 
locations.   
 
 The following placard must be installed in plain view of the pilot:

approved by CASA (for FAA).   Revisions to this report must be approved by CASA on 
behalf of the FAA. 
 
Note 6. GA200:  Equivalent level of safety finding No. ACE-97-2.  The fuel quantity indicators 
and corresponding markings for the wing and header tanks provide an equivalent level of 
safety to the requirements of FAR 23.1337 (b)(1). 
 GA200C:  Equivalent level of safety finding No. ACE-99-04.  The fuel quantity
