At this time, EASA has maintained the LBA Type Certificate Data Sheet No. 2066. Page 5 of 6 A63EU Data Pertinent to all Models Import Requirements The FAA can issue a U.S. Standard Airworthiness Certificate based on an Export Certificate of Airworthiness (Export C of A) signed by a representative of the LBA, 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 Part 23 approved under U.S. Type Certificate No. A63EU 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. Equipment The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulation (see "Certification Basis") must be installed in the airplane for certification. Service Information Each of the documents listed below must state that it is approved by EASA or – for approvals made before September 28, 2003 – by the LBA.  Service bulletins  Structural repair manuals  Vendor manuals  Aircraft flight manuals  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 case-by-case approval to EASA 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. Current weight and balance data together with a list of equipment included in the certificated empty weight, and loading instructions, when necessary, must be provided for each aircraft at the time of original certification. The certificated empty weight and corresponding center of gravity locations must include the following: G 520 a) unusable fuel of 47 lbs (242 in (6147 mm) aft of datum) b) engine oil of 17 lbs (139 in (3531 mm) aft of datum) G 520T a) unusable fuel of 47 lbs (242 in (6147 mm) aft of datum) b) engine oil of 16.75 lbs (87.6 in (2225 mm) aft of datum) NOTE 2. All placards listed in Section 2, of the approved Pilot's Operating Handbook G 520 and G 520T must be installed in the appropriate locations. Each airplane must be supplied with a placard that specifies the kind of operations to which the operation of the airplane is limited by its installed equipment. Page 6 of 6 A63EU The following placard must be displayed on the instrument panel in full view of the pilot: "THE MARKINGS AND PLACARDS INSTALLED IN THIS AIRPLANE CONTAIN OPERATING LIMITATIONS WHICH MUST BE COMPLIED WITH WHEN OPERATING THIS AIRPLANE IN THE NORMAL CATEGORY. OTHER OPERATING LIMITATIONS WHICH MUST BE COMPLIED WITH WHEN OPERATING THIS AIRPLANE IN THIS CATEGORY ARE CONTAINED IN THE AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL". NOTE 3. G 520 Airworthiness Limitations.

Every 3,000 flight hours the "Significant Structure Items Inspection" and prior to 15,000 flight hours the "Airframe Major Inspection" must be performed. This may provide the necessary clearance for further flight. NOTE 5. Major structural repairs must be accomplished by a properly certificated mechanic in accordance with data approved by the FAA.
