The type certification basis for the Dornier Seastar Model CD2 airplane is as follows: Part 21 of the Federal Avia tion Regulations (FAR), § 21.29; Part 23 of the FAR, effective February 1, 1965, including amendments 23-1 through 23-34; Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) No. 27, effective February 1, 1974, as amended by amendments 27-1 through 27-8; Part 36 of the FAR, effective December 1, 1969, as amended by amendments 36-1 through amendment 36-18. (Docket No. 061CE, Sp ecial Conditions 23-ACE-44) Special Conditions; Dornier Seastar CD2 Series Airplanes and Exemptions for FAR Part 23 Amdt. 34 §23.807(d)(1) and §23.807(d)(1)(i) The Luftfahrt Bundesamt originally type certificated this aircraft under its type certificate Number 2065. The FAA validated this product under U.S. Type Certificate Number A62EU. Effective September 28, 2003, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this product on behalf of Germany. Import Requirements. This aircraft is not eligible for operations in the United States. Please contact the FAA, Small Airplane Directorate at Kansas City, Missouri for additional i n f o r m a t i o n . Equipment. Basic required equipment as prescrib ed in the applicable airworthiness A62EU Page 4 of 5 regulations (see "Certification Basis") must be installed in the aircraft for certification. 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 September 28, 2003 – by the Luftfahrt Bundesamt. • 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 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. Weight and Balance Current weight and balance data together with a list of equipment included in the certificated empty weight, and loading instructions, must be provided for each aircraft at the tim e of original certification. NOTE 2. Placards All placards listed in the approved Airp lane Flight Manual must be installed in the appropriate locations. Each airpla ne has to be supplied with a placard that specifies the kind of operations to which the operation of the individual airplane is limited by its installed equipment. The following placard must be displayed on the instrument panel in full view of the pilot: "OPERATIONAL LIMITS The marking and placards installe d in this airplane contain operating limitations which must be complied with when operating this airplane in the commuter category. Other limitations which must be compiled with when operating this airplane in this category are contained in the: PILOT'S OPERATIONS HANDB OOK and LBA APPROVED AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL." "No acrobatic maneuvers including pins, approved." NOTE 3. Airworthiness Limitations Chapter 05 of the SEASTAR CD2 Airplane Maintenance Manual, specifies mandatory replacement times, structur al inspection intervals, and related structural procedures, and operation checks for continuous airworthiness. This also fulfills the requirements of 14 CFR Sections 21.29, 43.16 and 91.403 of Page 5 of 5 A62EU FAA Regulations. The Airworthiness Limitation Section 05-05-00 may not be changed without FAA-approval. NOTE 4. Operations Limitations Type Approval is applied for parts of equipment and installations that are required for VFR/night operation only. Flight under known ici ng conditions is prohibited. NOTE 5. Life Limits. Service Life Limited components airframe: 30,000 flight hours. Every 3,600 flight hours the "Significant Structural Items Inspection" and prior to 30,000 flight hours the "Airframe Major Inspection" must be performed. This may provide th e necessary clearance for further flight. NOTE 6. Painting White is the only permitted color for the aircraft frame. Changing the color and the thickness of the coat is only permissible after prior approval by the manufacturer. ...END... ``` ## ADs None name its models. ## STCs approved under this data sheet (12) - [STC SA02738CH](https://openairdocs.org/stc/SA02738CH): Installation of L-3 Communications Avionics Systems.
