Mutual recognition arrangements define which foreign-certificated aircraft are acknowledged as meeting the domestic safety standards, based on specific size limits for that category. In this case, the recognized category is defined by seating capacity and maximum takeoff weight. The scenario with 32 seats and a maximum takeoff weight of 14,500 kg fits the boundary of the recognized category, so it would be recognized. The other scenarios don’t meet both limits at once: some have fewer seats, meaning they fall outside the size range, while another exceeds the weight limit, placing it outside the recognized threshold too. So, only the 32-seat aircraft with 14,500 kg MTOW satisfies the required combination for recognition. This reflects how these rules balance practical operations with safety oversight, allowing certain aircraft to be treated as acceptable under the mutual framework without duplicative certification steps.
