Airworthiness Code as provided by Annex 8, to the Convention of the International Civil Aviation Organization. 
 
 NOTE 14: Helicopters that do not have documentation showing they were surplus from an Armed Force of the United Stetes 
are not eligible for certification under this type cerficate. Engines and appliances that do not have documentation 
showing they were surplus from an Armed Foce of the United States are not eligible for installation on a helicopter 
under this type certificate. Helicopter(s). engine(s), and appliances that have  records indicating time-in-service by a 
foreign military or a foreign government will be presumed to be ineligible for certification or installation under this 
type certificate. This presumption maybe overcome by the applicant substantiating to the satisfaction of the FAA 
through documentation, tets, computations, evaluations, analysis or other means or methods that the helicopter,
