A47NM Page 3 of 5 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Basis 14 CFR Part 25 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) as amended by Amendment 25-1 through 25-71 except where superseded by: - Sections 25.361, 25.365, 25.571, 25.772, 25.773, 25.783(g), 25.801, 25.905(d), 25.933, and 25.1419 as amended by Amendment 25-72.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.
