Import Requirements For aircraft produced in France, 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 Direction Generale de l’Aviation Civile (DGAC) 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  
Code of Federal Regulations approved under U.S. type certificate No. A 66EU and to be 
in a condition for safe operation”. 
 
 
   For issuance of an airworthiness certificate in accordance with §21.183(c), the Direction 
Generale de l'Aviation Civile of France must certify that the aircraft conforms to the type 
design and is in condition for safe operation. In that regard, the Direction Generale de 
l'Aviation Civile of France will certify that the aircraft complies with the latest issue of 
Avions Pierre Robin Service Bulletins 111, 112, 114, 116, 121, 127, 132, 133, 136, 141,

other things, that the product is in a condition for safe operation.

    ·  Structural Repair Manuals 
    ·  Vendor Manuals 
    ·  Aircraft Flight Manuals, and 
    ·  Overhaul and Maintenance Manuals

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.
