IMPORT REQUIREMENTS 
 
 
To be considered eligible for installation on U.S. registered aircraft, each new engine to be 
exported to the United States shall be accompanied by a Certificate of Airworthiness for 
export with EASA Form 1, Authorized Release Certificate.  The EASA Form 1 should state 
that the engine conforms to the type design approved under the U.S. Type Certificate 
E00081EN, is in a condition for safe operation and has undergone a final operational check.
