Import Requirements 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 Civil Aviation Office
(CAO) of Poland 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 comply with U.S. airworthiness regulations 14 CFR
Federal Aviation Regulations Part 21.25, U.S. Type Certificate No. A47EU 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.
Certification Basis. FAR 21.17 and FAR 21.25, FAR 23 dated February 1, 1965 as amended through
Amendment 23-16, effective, February 14, 1975; except for the following exclusions

The Civil Aviation Office (CAO) of Poland originally type certificated these aircraft
models under its type certificate Number BB-120/1. The FAA validated this product
under U.S. Type Certificate Number A47EU. Effective October 24, 2005, the European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this product on behalf of Poland.
The EASA TCDS number is EASA.A.056.
Validation Basis. Type Certificate A47EU was issued pursuant to FAR 21.29 in validation of the General
Inspectorate of Civil Aviation Certification of compliance with the aforementioned
certification basis, and in accordance with the restricted category airworthiness certificate
provisions of 21.185(c).
Equipment. The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness
regulations(see Certification Basis) must be installed in the aircraft for airworthiness
certification. In addition, the following items of equipment are required:
Model M18 - CACA approved Airplane Flight Manual dated October 4, 1979, or later
CACA/GICA approved revision.
Model M18A - CACA approved Airplane Flight Manual dated May 30, 1987, or later
CACA/GICA approved revisions.
Model M18B - GICA approved Airplane Flight Manual dated July 30, 1994, or later
GICA approved revisions.
The equipment described below may be installed:
1. For agricultural aircraft equipment operations:
- Spray system - Dwg. No. D98.000/01.0 or D98.100.00.0 or D98.000/11.0
- Atomizing Equipment - Dwg. No. D98.000/03.0 or D98.200.00.0 and
- Spreading Equipment - Dwg. No. D98.000/05.0 or D98.300.00.0 or
D.98.000/13.0
2. For despersing fire fighting materials:
- Fire Bombing Equipment - Dwg. No. 98.000/07.0 or D99.100.00.0

Service Information Each of the documents listed below must state that it is approved by the European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) or – for approvals made before October 24, 2005 – by
the Civil Aviation Office (CAO) of Poland. (See Note 4)
• Service bulletins,
• Structural repair manuals,
• Vendor manuals,
• Aircraft flight manuals, and
• Overhaul and maintenance manuals.
The FAA accepts such documents and considers them FAA-approved for type design
data only unless one of the following conditions exists:
• The documents change the limitations, performance, or procedures of the FAA
approved manuals; or
•The documents make an acoustical or emissions changes to this product’s U.S. type
certificate as defined in 14 CFR § 21.93.
The FAA uses the post type validation procedures to approve these documents. The FAA
may delegate on case-by-case to EASA to approve on behalf of the FAA for the U.S. type
certificate. If this is the case it will be noted on the document.
NOTES:
NOTE 1. A current weight and balance report including list of equipment in certificated empty weight, and loading
instructions, must be provided with each aircraft at the time of original airworthiness certification, and at all
times thereafter.
The certificated empty weight and corresponding center of gravity location must include undrainable oil (3.7
lbs. at 53 inches) forward of datum, and unusable fuel (22.2 lbs. at 60 inches) aft of datum.
NOTE 2. Placards (Refer to Manufacturer's Specifications for a complete listing): All required placards as listed in the
approved Airplane Flight Manual must be installed in the appropriate locations.
Refer to the Airplane Flight Manual, Section 2, Limitations for a listing of required placards.
NOTE 3. Instructions for Continued Airworthiness and Service Life Limits of components include the
Maintenance Manual (Section 8 of Airplane Description and Service Manual). Revisions to Airworthiness
Limitations must be GICA approved for the FAA. The maximum service life of the models M-18 and M-
18A can be extended to a maximum of 6000 hours by compliance with service bulletins K/02-142/91 and
E?02.152/94.
All manufacturer's service bulletins (and other manual material) which contain a statement that the document
is approved by the exporting airworthiness authority (GICA) may be interpreted as FAA Approved. These
approvals pertain to the type design only.
All service bulletins classified as Mandatory by the General Inspectorate Civil Aviation Authority are
identified to that effect and are subject to an Airworthiness directive issued by the FAA.
Service documents required:
1. Airplane Description and Service Manual issued December 1979.
NOTE 4. The national airworthiness authority (NAA) for this airplane is the Civil Aviation Office (CAO) of Poland. The CAO
was previously known as CAIB, CACA and General Inspectorate of Civil Aviation (GICA).
NOTE 5. Other serial numbers are also eligible on condition that modifications are performed according to service
Bulletin issued by aircraft manufacturer. Service Bulletin no. E/02.187/2003 was issued to allow
M18 airplanes S/N 1Z010-12, 1Z010-13, 1Z012-34, 1Z012-40, 1Z013-36 to be eligible for certificate
