Having been informed that Europa N8027U had suffered a fatal accident over the weekend, we find that this aircraft had an Experimental Certificate from the FAA, being a homebuilt. This is not an ICAO Certificate of Airworthiness. For this aircraft to operate legally in this country operators need to apply to us for an Exemption from Article 8. No such exemption was applied for or issued.
