Appendix 2 of AC 21-2 "Special Requirements of Importing Countries"
This appendix contains special requirements stipulated by a number of aviation authorities as applicable to aeronautical products imported into their countries or jurisdictions from the United States. These requirements should apply whether an aircraft is imported from the United States or any other State of Registry. When subject matter described within these documents may not completely apply, the documents typically contain a statement addressing which corresponding agreement(s) prevails.
Revisions to Appendix 2 of AC 21-2 are posted after they are received, coordinated within the FAA, and finalized with the submitting aviation authority. This is reflected by a revision date following the document's title.
Where the FAA has added information for clarification, the information is enclosed in double brackets. Users should verify whether the country or jurisdiction has concluded a Bilateral Airworthiness Agreement or a Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement related to airworthiness with the United States and check for applicable requirements there as well. If information contained in these documents conflicts with an existing bilateral agreement or associated implementation procedures, the language within the bilateral agreement shall prevail, followed by the language in the implementation procedure, and then the Appendix 2 Special Requirements of Importing Countries document.
Any questions a designee may have concerning the information in these documents should be directed to the designee's Advisor or supervising FAA district office.
