FAA Order 8130.21 (current version) is an FAA internal publication entitled Procedures for Completion and Use of the Authorized Release Certificate, FAA Form 8130-3, Airworthiness Approval Tag.
Note: The current guidance material for FAA Order 8130.21 was released October 26, 2009 and removed all references concerning the “Class” of a product. (Formerly, export items were classified as Class I, Class II, or Class III.) However, as of the publication of this IA Test Prep, the FAA has not changed the computer test and reference material to reflect this deletion. Therefore, references to both editions of the FAA Order (8130.21F and 8130.21G) are used in this book. Questions dealing with product Class I, II and III are found in 8130.21F; all others are referenced in 8130.21G. (A copy of the previous release of this Order may be downloaded from the IA “Reader Resources” page on the ASA website.)
