Import Requirements The FAA can issue a U.S. airworthiness certificate based on an Export Certificate of
Airworthiness (Export C of A) signed by a representative of the Swedish Civil
Aviation Administration (CAA). 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 the Type Design approved under U.S. Type Certificate No.
A47NM and to be in a condition for safe operation. Compliance with Airworthiness
Directives (ADs) has been checked only for ADs issued by EASA, ADs adopted by
EASA and ADs published by FAA’
The U.S. airworthiness certification basis for aircraft type certificated under 14
CFR part 21, section 21.29, exported by country of manufacture is section
21.183(c) or 21.185(c)
The U.S. airworthiness certification basis for aircraft type certificated under
section 21.29 exported from countries other than the country of manufacture
(e.g., third party country) is section 21.183(d) or 21.185(b).
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 14 CFR Part 25 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) as amended by
Amendment 25-1 through 25-71 except where superseded by:
- Sections 25.361, 25.365, 25.571, 25.772, 25.773, 25.783(g), 25.801, 25.905(d),
25.933, and 25.1419 as amended by Amendment 25-72.
- Sections 25.903 and 25.951(d) amended by Amendment 25-73.
- Sections 25.851 and 25.854 amended by Amendment 25-74.
- Section 25.729 amended by Amendment 25-75.
- Section 25.813 amended by Amendment 25-76.
14 CFR part 34, effective September 10, 1990.
14 CFR part 36 through amendment 36-20. Airplanes with SAAB 2000 Airplane
Flight Manual, revision 44 and above are certificated to 14 CFR part 36 through
amendment 36-30, Stage 4.
FAA equivalent safety findings exist with respect to the following:
- Use of 1-g stall speeds instead of minimum speed in the stall. Saab's letter
73CCS0435 dated March 13, 1993, which references NPA 25B-215, dated
July 1992 with follow-on changes, document equivalency.
- APU instrumentation and monitoring. Automatic features of the APU and the
indications provided by the Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System
(EICAS) described in Saab's document 73PAS0132A dated June 4, 1993,
provide equivalency to certain cockpit indications required by sections
25.1305 and 25.1501(b).
- Powerplant valve indication. The fuel system described in Saab document
73PPS0262, Rev. A, dated March 18, 1993, and indications provided by the
EICAS provides an equivalent level of safety to the powerplant valve position
indication requirement of section 25.1141.
