Whilst complying with internationally recognized standards, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of San Marino and the Department of Civil Aviation of Aruba (DCA) are flexible in their approaches and a Type Certificate (TC) and the associated Type Certificate Date Sheets (TCDS) issued by either the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or the United States, Transport Canada, or the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA) of the United Kingdom and ANAC Brazil would be acceptable to the CAA and DCA.

 

In practice, this means that the CAA and DCA will accept an aircraft from any of the above authorities without the aircraft having to undergo any modifications to revert it to the certification standard of the State of Design. In the matter of STCs embodied on an aircraft, the CAA and DCA will accept without further review any STC that has been previously approved by the above Authorities when the CAA and DCA first issue the aircraft with a Certificate of Airworthiness (C of A)
