Import Requirements- All Models. a. 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 Swiss Federal Office
of Civil Aviation (FOCA) 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
Federal Aviation Regulations Part 23 U.S. Type Certificate No. A78EU and to be in a
condition for safe operation.’
b. An airplane maintenance manual in compliance with FAR 23.1529
must be furnished before delivery of the first airplane or issuance of
standard certificate of airworthiness whichever occurs later.
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.
