covered by this certificate has been examined, tested, and found to comply with U.S. 
airworthiness regulations 14 CFR Part 23 approved under U.S. Type Certificate No. 
A00067CE and to be in a condition for safe operation.’ 
 
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.
