Export Certificate

An Export Certificate of Airworthiness issued by the Authority may be required to provide confirmation of a recent satisfactory review of the airworthiness status of the aircraft and, apart from any agreed deviations, found the aircraft to be in compliance with the applicable Type Certificate.
