Exporting and Importing Learjets
In recent months, Duncan Aviation has performed several pre-buy evaluations that have resulted in a Learjet being either imported into or exported out of the U.S. Unique challenges always present themselves with these types of requests.
If you consult the Type Certificate Data Sheet first, you will be able to overcome many of these issues.
All Learjets, except for Models 40 & 45:
On page 33 — note 13 of A10CE (currently at Rev 57), is a list of countries, models and ECRs that are required for exporting out of the U.S. Also noted are models that require ECRs to be unmodified in order to import back into the U.S.
Model 40 & 45:
On page 13 – note 10 of T00008WI (Currently at Rev 13), are lists of JAA/ EASA and non-JAA/ EASA countries and their applicable ECRs required for each model.
If there is an ECR required to import or export your Learjet into or out of the U.S, there are other issues that you need to be aware of:
- Learjet has not sold these ECRs in the past.
- Learjet has not supported a Road Trip or Mobile Repair Party to comply with an ECR in the past.
- If there is an ECR involved, it MUST be complied with prior to importing or exporting your aircraft.
At this time, to comply with a necessary ECR, you are required to go to a Learjet-Owned Service Center. Duncan Aviation is working with Bombardier, through our Authorized Service Facility Agreement, to resolve this issue.
Keep in mind, when moving aircraft across country boundaries, there are usually other requirements than those stated here. Those exact requirements are determined by the destination country.
