Serial Nos. eligible: The United Kingdom Certificate of Airworthiness for Export endorsed as noted
under "Import Requirements" must be submitted for each indivi dual aircraft for
which application of certification is made.
Transition Statement: The United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority originally type certificated this
aircraft under its type certificate Number AAN10059 (HS 748 Series 2A) and
ANN16479 (HS 748 Series 2B) . The FAA validated this product under U.S.
Type Certificate Number A24EU. Effective September 28, 2003, the European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this product on behalf The
United Kingdom.
Import requirement The FAA can issue a U.S. airworthiness certificate based on an NAA Export
Certificate of Airworthiness (Export C of A) signed by a representative of the
United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority on behalf of the European
Community. The Export C of A should contain the following statement: ‘The
aircraft covered by this certificate has been examined, tested, and found to
conform with Type Design approved under U.S. Type Certificate No. A24EU
and to be in a condition for safe operation.’
The U.S. airworthiness certification basis for aircraft type certificated under
FAR Section 21.29 and exported by the country of manufacture is FAR
Sections 21.183(c) or 21.185(c). The U.S. airworthiness certification basis for
aircraft type certificated under FAR Section 21.29 but exported from
countries other than the country of ma nufacture (e.g., third party country) is
FAR Sections 21.183(d) or 21.183(b). These sections provide that U.S.
airworthiness certification are issued only if the Administrator finds, “that the
aircraft conforms to the type design and is in a condition for safe operation.”
In order for the FAA to make the finding that an HS 748 aircraft is in a
condition for safe operation, the FAA certificating inspector or other
authorized person must contact the Manager, International Branch, ANM-
116, FAA Transport Airplane Director ate; 1601 Lind Avenue Southwest;
Renton, Washington 98055; telephone (425) 227-1263; fax (425) 227-1149,
prior to issuance of the U.S. airworthiness certificate to obtain the FAA
Required Modification List (RML) for the HS 748. Prior to issuance of a
Standard Airworthiness Certificate on any HS 748 model aircraft, all
modifications shown in the model HS 748 RML must be accomplished in the
interest of safety before the aircraft can be found to be in a condition for safe
operation.
Authority for these required modifications is given per the airworthiness
certification provisions of 49 U.S.C. 44704 (c), which states "the
Administrator may include in an airworthiness certificate terms required in
the interest of safety". “Terms required in the interest of safety” include
actions to correct unsafe conditions issued by the foreign authority of the state
of design that also meet FAA criteria for corrective action. This law also gives
the FAA the authority to adopt FAR § 21.183(c) and (d), which form the
regulatory basis for the issue of standard U.S. airworthiness certificates on
imported products. 14 CFR §21.183(c) and (d) provide that airworthiness
certificates are issued only if the Administrator finds “that the aircraft
conforms to the type design and is in a condition for safe operation.” The
modifications identified in the Model HS 748 RML are required in the interest
of safety and are necessary for this airplane to be in a condition for safe
operation.

A Notice of policy Statement announcing the FAA’s policy with respect to
foreign mandatory continued airworthiness information, when no aircraft of
the affected design are currently operating in the U.S. was published in the
Federal Register on May 1, 1998. A dditional guidance is contained in the
FAA advisory Circular 21-23, Airworthiness Certification of Civil Aircraft,
Engines, Propellers, and Related Products Imported into the United States.
Service information Each of the documents listed below that contain a statement that it is approved
by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) - or for approvals made
before September 28, 2003 - by the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority,
are accepted by the FAA and are considered FAA approved. Additionally,
approvals issued by BAE Systems (Operations) Limited under the authority of
EASA approved Design Organization EASA.21J.047 - or for approvals made
before September 28, 2003 - under the authority of United Kingdom Civil
Aviation Authority or JAA Design Organization Approval No. CAA.JA.02034
are considered FAA approved. These approvals pertain to the type design only.

• Structural repair manuals,
• Vendor manuals referenced BAE Systems (Operations) Limited service
bulletins
• Aircraft flight manuals,
• Repair Instructions.
Note: Design changes that are contained in BAE Systems (Operations) Limited
Service Bulletins and that are classified as Level 1 Major in accordance with
either the US United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority or US/EASA Bilateral
Aviation Safety Agreement Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness must
be approved by the FAA.
Equipment The basic required equipment as pr escribed in the applicable airworthiness
regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the aircraft for
certification. Approved equipment is included in the Schedule of Equipment
Drawing No. A 3767.
In addition, the following items of equipment are required.
Control Column stick shaker Safe Flight - Pt. No. C74002
Lift Transducer Safe Flight - Pt. No. C74007 (2 required).

NOTES:
NOTE 1. (a) Current weight and balance report, including list of equipment included in the
certificated empty weight and loading instructions when necessary, must be in each
aircraft at the time of original certification.
(b) "Unusable Fuel and System Oil" and all hydraulic fluid must be included with
certificated empty weight.
Unusable fuel is that quantity of fuel in the system and in the tanks which is unavailable
to the engine under critical f light conditions as defined in FAR 25.959. This unusable
fuel includes "system fuel" which is defined as the quantity required to fill the system
and tanks outlet level when the airplane is in the ground level attitude. The fuel gauges
are calibrated to read zero during level flight with the unusable fuel in the tanks.
The total amount of fuel is as follows:
Usable Fuel Unusable Fuel
@ 6.75 lb./gal. @ 6.75 lb./gal.
1680 U.S. gallons 3.6 U.S. gallons
System Oil is that amount of oil required to fill the oil system and tanks which is not
available for normal engine lubrication. The propeller feathering oil is not considered
usable oil and is included in "System Oil". System oil weight is 37 lb. The oil tank
capacity shown in this specification is the to tal oil for which the tanks are placarded.
Dipstick readings indicate the amount of oil required to fill the tank.
NOTE 2. All placards required in the Approved Airp lane Flight Manual must be installed in the
appropriate location.
NOTE 3. The service life for aircraft structural parts which are fati gue critical are listed in the HS
748 Recommended Maintenance Schedule, page s 12 to 18 inclusive, and may not be
changed without FAA approval.
NOTE 4. The approval fuel additives are listed in the CAA Approved Flight Manual Document
