36-25, when mod. 80-0642 or SB-80-0215 is installed.

The Ente Nazionale per l’Aviazone Civile (ENAC) originally type ertificated
this aircraft under its Type Certificate Number A390. Effective September 28,
2003, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this
product under their Type certificate Number A059 on behalf of Italy.

Validation Basis. Type Certificate A59EU was issued pursuant to FAR 21.29 in validation of EASA
certification of compliance with the aforementioned certification basis, and in
accordance with the standard airworthiness certificate provisions of FAR
21.183(c).

Note: The airworthiness provisions of FAR 21.183(d) may be cited as the basis
for issuance of standard airworthiness certificates for aircraft imported from a
country other than the country of manufacture.

Equipment. The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness

regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the aircraft for
airworthiness certification.In addition, the following item of equipment is
required:

1. POH and AFM, Report No. 6591, approved July 7, 1992 (RAI Ltr
282.378/SCMA), or later approved revision (S/N 1004 through 1025
incorporating SB 80-0023 or 1026 through 1104).
2. AFM, Report No. 180-MAN-0010-01100 (EASA approval date:October 21,
2005) and W&B M, Report No. 180-MAN-0020-01101 (EASA approval
date: October 21, 2005) (S/N 1002 and 1105 to subsequent).

Import requirements The FAA can issue a U.S. airworthiness certificate based on an NAA Export
Certificate of Airworthiness (Export C of A) signed by a representative of the
the Ente Nazionale per l’Aviazone Civile (ENAC) on behalf of the European
Community. 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 EASAs TC No A059 approved under U.S. Type Certificate No.
A 59EU 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.

Country other than Manufacturer (U.S. bilateral agreement and the original
Export Certificate of Airworthiness issued by the country of manufacture must
exist): A U.S. airworthiness certificate may be issued on the basis of a log book
certifying statement endorsed by an authorized representative of the civil aviation
authority of the exporting country. It is incumbent upon the exporting civil
aviation authority to determine that the certifying statement includes evidence of
acceptable service history and modification deviations and the following
statement: "The aircraft covered by this certificate has been examined, tested,
inspected in accordance with the provisions of FAR 21.183)d) or its equivalent,
and found to conform to the type design approved under Type Certificate A59EU
and is in a condition for safe operation".

Service Information Each of the documents listed below must state that it is approved by the
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) or – for approvals made before
September 28, 2003- by the Ente Nazionale per l’Aviazone Civile (ENAC)

· Service bulletins

· Vendor Manuals
· Aircraft Flight Manuals, and
· Overhaul and Maintenance Manuals

The FAA accepts such documents and considers them FAA-approved

unless one of the following condition exists:

· The documents change the limitations, performance, or procedures

of the FAA approved manuals; or

· The documents make an acoustical or emissions changes to this

product’s U.S.type certificate as defined in 14 CFR § 21.93.

The FAA uses the post type validation procedures to approve these
documents. The FAA may delegate on case-by-case to EASA to
approve on behalf of the FAA for the U.S. type certificate. If this is the
case it will be noted on the document.
