A US Standard Airworthiness Certificate may be issued on the basis of a Certificate of Airworthiness for Export, signed by a representative of the UK Civil Aviation Authority, Airworthiness Division, containing the following statement: "The balloon covered by this certificate has been examined, tested and found to conform to the type design approved under FAA Type Certificate B3EU 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. Certification Basis. For Models 56A, 69A, 77A and 105A FAR 21.29 and FAR 31 effective July 1, 1964 as amended by Amendments 31-1 through 31-3. Type Certificate B3EU issued January 22, 1981, amended December 29, 1982. Date of application for amendment of the Type Certificate: July 7, 1980. For Models 90A, 120A, 160A, 180A, 210A, 240A, 260A, 300A and 315A. FAR 21.29 and FAR 31 effective July 1, 1964 as amended by Amendments 31-1 through 31-3. Type Certificate B3EU, issued January 22, 1981, amended June 7, 1984. Date of application for amendment of the Type Certificate: January 26, 1983. The applicable airworthiness requirements for US certification under FAR 21.29 identified above were established considering the airworthiness requirements applied by the exporting country, and the provisions of paragraphs 4 and 9(h) (ii) of the agreement between the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland dated December 28, 1972, titled Certificates of Airworthiness for Imported Aircraft. Type Certificate B3EU amended January 10, 1992. Date of application for amendment of the Type Certificate: October 18, 1991. Certification Basis For models produced under license agreement by Thunder & Colt America, the for Models Produced certification basis is the same as for imported models, i.e., FAR 31 effective July 1, Under License. 1964, as amended by Amendments 31-1 thru 31-3. Type Certificate B3EU also approves the design of all models produced by Thunder & Colt America. Thunder & Colt America models are thus eligible for a standard airworthiness certificate in accordance with FAR 21.183(a). Validation Basis. Type Certificate No. B3EU was issued pursuant to FAR 21.29 in validation of the UK CAA's certification of compliance with the aforementioned FAA certification basis. Equipment. The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see Certification Basis) and required placards (see NOTE 2), must be installed in the balloon for standard airworthiness certification. In addition the following equipment is required: “1. Burner lighter-sparker or 2 boxes of matches or equivalent. 2. CAA - approved Thunder & Colt Balloons Flight Manual, Issue 5, dated July 1987 or subsequent revisions. 3. Fire Extinguisher”. Service Information. Thunder & Colt Technical Information (Service Bulletins), published in the English Language for the US Type Designs that carry a statement "Approved by the United Kingdom Civil Airworthiness Authority (UK CAA)" may be interpreted as FAA Approved. Available documents for Colt Models 56A, 69A, 77A, 90A, 105A, 120A, 160A, 180A, 210A, 240A, 260A, 300A and 315A- Thunder & Colt Balloon Flight Manual, dated July 1987, UK CAA Approved 19 October 1987, Issue 5. B3EU 13 NOTES. NOTE 1. MAXIMUM WEIGHT; Permitted takeoff weight (never exceed weight) for balloons up to and including 140,000 cu.ft is based on a lift capability of 21.9 lbs./1,000 cu.ft of volume at a maximum continuous operating temperature of 100oC (212oF) during a 0oC (32oF) ambient air temperature at sea level and constitutes a design stressing case. Permitted takeoff weight for balloons of 160,000 cu.ft is based on a lift capability of 19.98 lbs./1,000 cu.ft of volume at the above conditions. Permitted takeoff weight for balloons of 180,000 cu.ft and larger is based on a lift capability of 17.76 lbs./1,000 cu.ft of volume at the above conditions. See the current issue of the Thunder and Colt Balloons Flight Manual for loading instructions. Maximum normal takeoff weight: (normal gross) is based on an appropriate lift capability of 17.6 lb./1000 cu.ft of volume at a maximum continuous operating temperature of 100oC (212oF) during a 15oC (59oF) ambient air temperature at sea level to establish a lift between 2000 and 3000 ft altitude. See Thunder & Colt Balloons Flight Manual loading instructions. Current weight information, including the list of equipment included in certificated empty weight and loading instructions, when necessary, must be provided for each balloon at the time of original certification. NOTE 2. Required placards are to be placed so as to be conspicuous to the pilot: Maximum continuous operating temperature 120oC (248oF) Never exceed temperature 127oC (257oF) The maximum recommended rate of climb and descent should not exceed 1000 FPM (5m/sec). Maximum mean wind speed 15 kts. NOTE 3. Maintenance and Inspection: In addition to annual inspection requirement stipulated by FAR 91.409, it is required to utilize the "limitations sections" of the maintenance and inspection requirements of Thunder & Colt Flight Manual Maintenance Section, with the date issued at the time of the Certification of the model and serial number of the balloon in question. The use of later dated versions of the maintenance and inspection requirements of Thunder & Colt Flight Maintenance Section are encouraged. NOTE 4. Fuel Cylinders Permitted: The following fuel cylinders are permitted in construction and use based on FAR 31.27 and FAR 31.45. Cylinders may be used in any combination.
