The Canadian Department of Transport Certificate of Airworthiness for export endorsed
as noted under "Import Eligibility" must be submitted for each individual aircraft for
which application for certification is made.
Import eligibility A U.S. Airworthiness Certificate may be issued on the basis of the Canadian
Department of Transport "Certificate of Airworthiness for Export" signed by or for the
Minister of Transport. This form must contain the following statement: "This certifies
that the aircraft described below has been manufactured in conformity with data
forming the basis for D.O.T. Type Approval No. A-82, Issue 4, dated December 20,
1968 (FAA Type Certificate No. A9EA)."
Certification basis CAR 3 dated May 15, 1956 and Amendments 3-1 to 3-8 inclusive, plus Special
Conditions for Multi-Engine Turbine Powered Aircraft dated November 6, 1964. Type
Certificate No. A9EA issued June 22, 1966. Date of application for Type Certificate
April 2, 1964.
For this Model airplane intended for use in operations under FAR Part 135, the
additional airworthiness requirements of Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR)
23, dated January 7, 1969, and Amendment 1 to SFAR 23, dated December 24, 1969,
are also included. See NOTES 3 and 8.
Equipment The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations
(see Certification Basis) must be installed in the aircraft for certification and is given in
Viking Air Limited (or Bombardier) Report A.E.R.O.C. 6.6.G.1. In addition, the
following item of equipment is required:
(a) Canadian D.O.T. approved Airplane Flight Manual, PSM-1-62-1A.
IV - Model DHC-6-300 (Normal Category), Approved May 8, 1969 by the FAA and April 25, 1969 by the
Canadian Department of Transport (DOT).
This is the third production series of the Type DHC-6. This series is identified
primarily on basis of:
(1) PT6A-27 engine in place of -20 engine;
(2) Increase in All-Up-Weight to the maximum allowed by CAR 3
of 12,500 lb.:
(3) Addition of two forward exits and deletion of roof exit; and,
(4) Aircraft nose configuration, See NOTE 6 for optional VAL (or BI) Mod.
6/1077 - Extended Nose that Increases the Volume and Weight
Capacity of the Forward Baggage Compartment.
