APPLICATION FOR AN EXEMPTION/PERMIT TO FLY

1 CERTIFICATE OF AIRWORTHINESS

Pursuant to the Netherlands Civil Aviation Act article 3.8, it is prohibited to fly in Dutch airspace (Amsterdam FIR) without a valid certificate of airworthiness. For example, an Annex I aircraft registered outside the Netherlands and holding a special certificate of airworthiness which is only valid in the state of registration, needs to apply for an exemption.

2 EXEMPTION/PERMIT TO FLY

An exemption/permit to fly to article 3.8 can be granted based on article 3.21 of the Netherlands Civil Aviation Act. This exemption/permit to fly can be requested at the Civil Aviation Authority of the Netherlands with the use of the form "Application National permit to fly" published on the website:

URL:https://english.ilent.nl/themes/p/permit-to-fly

The application form contains explanation on how to complete the form, which attachments must be included, and to which e-mail addresses the form must be sent.

An exemption/permit to fly will only be granted if the application complies with the national policy for exemption for airworthiness (Normenkader Ontheffingen Luchtwaardigheid 2015). The national policy (only available in the Dutch language) can be downloaded from the website referenced above.

A general exemption to visit the Netherlands (no permanent station) is regulated for ECAC registered micro light aircraft and amateur built aircraft, consequently a request for an exemption is not necessary for these aircraft.
