Mechanical floor Serial Nos. Eligible. 1001 and subsequent. A French (DGAC) Certificate of Airworthiness endorsed as noted below under “Import Requirements” must be submitted for each individual rotorcraft for which application for FAA certification is made. Serial Nos. Ineligible The FAA has revoked the standard airworthiness certificate of serial number 1137 on an emergency basis, based on a determination of un-airworthiness sufficient to render the certificate ineffective. This serial number aircraft is not currently eligible for a Standard Certificate of Airworthiness. Inquiries regarding this aircraft should be directed to the FAA Rotorcraft Directorate Staff, Fort Worth, TX. Certification Basis. - FAR 21.29 - FAR 27, through Amendment 27-33 - FAR 36 Appendix J through Amendment 36-21 - Equivalent Level of Safety findings FAR 27.1027(b)(2) FAR 27.1549(b) The French Direction Generale de l’Aviation Civile (DGAC) originally type certificated this rotorcraft under its type certificate TC 189. The FAA validated 3 of 3 R0001RD, Rev 5 this product under U.S. Type Certificate Number R0001RD. Effective September 28, 2003, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this product on behalf of the DGAC. Import Requirements. The FAA can issue a U.S. airworthiness certificate based on a National Aviation Authority (NAA) Export Certificate of Airworthiness (Export C of A) signed by a representative of the French Generale de l’Aviation Civile (DGAC) on behalf of the European Community. 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. 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 the type design approved under U.S. Type Certificate Number R0001RD and to be in a condition for safe operation.” Equipment. The minimum required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the respective helicopter for certification.
