FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY (FRG)
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE IMPORT OF
ABRONAUTICAL PRODUCTS FROM THE UNITED STATES (Revised July 30, 1979)
1. INTRODUCTION• This document prescribes special requirements supplementing the Agreement on the reciprocal acceptance of export certificates of airworthiness.
It is based on the Bilateral Agreement between the Governments of the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany of May 31, 1974, and on the laws, regulations, and requirements applicable in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). The airworthiness authority in the FRG is the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (IBA).
2. ELIGIBILITY.
2.1 Aircraft or other Class I products to be eligible for airworthiness certification by the IBA under the provisions of this document must in addition to the requirements prescribed in Part 21, Subpart L of the U.S.
Federal Aviation Regulations, be eligible for airworthiness certification in the United States "Standard" classification and comply with the applicable additional requirements under paragraph 6 and of the Enclosure hereto.
Note: Aircraft or other Class I products eligible for certification in the United States "Restricted," "Limited" or "Experimental" classification will be considered on an individual basis.
2.2 Class II and III products to be eligible for export to the Federal Republic of Germany must comply with the applicable provisions of Part 21, Subpart L of the U.S. Federal Aviation Regulations.
3. ABRONAUTICAL PRODUCTS REQUIRING APPROVAL.
3.1 Deviating from the U.S. - definition of Class I and Class Il products, the following aeronautical products require LBA approval by issuance of a Type Certificate:
Airplanes
(2) Rotorcraft (Helicopters, Gyroplanes and Rotodynes)
(3) Airships
(4) Powered Sailplanes
(5) sailplanes
(6) Manned Balloons
(7) Personal Emergency and Auxiliary Parachutes
(8) Aircraft Engines
(9) Aircraft Propellers
(10) Radio Equipment to be installed in aircraft as per Nos. 1 through 6 above.
Appendix 2
3.2 Details on IBA type approval of an aeronautical product listed under para. 3.1 Nos. 1 to 10 and of any change that product may undergo (as I.1. under the provisions of subpart E of fAR Part 21) are specified in paras. 4.1 to 4.5.
3.3 Items of equipment, which have a major influence on the airworthiness of aircraft or on the safety of the occupants, e.g. flight and navigation instruments, electronic equipment, life saving equipment, and which can be categorized as U.S. Class II or Class III product, must be LBA approved in accordance with the provisions of paras. 3.5 and 3.6. A list of these items is available on request from the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (IBA).
3.4 For approval of any other Class III product, i.e. standard parts, a certified statement by the product manufacturer (Approval Tag for Class III products according to FAR 21.333) will be accepted by the LBA, if the product in question is accepted for use with regular Class I and Class II products.
3.5 Approval of equipment, except radio equipment (see paras. 3.1 and
3.7), installed in aircraft to be exported to the FRG as listed in the FAA approved equipment list of that aircraft, may be covered by the IBA type certificate of that aircraft (para. 4.5 remains unaffected).
3.6 Items of Class II or Class III equipment as under para. 3.3, which are exported separately to the FRG and which are not spare parts of certificated aircraft, may receive a separate LBA approval, provided the relevant equipment has already been FAA-approved, e.g. by ISO-Authorization as per FAR-Part 37 or under the provisions of Subpart K of FAR-Part 21. The procedures which must be followed in this case are specified in para. 5.
3.7 Each item of LBA approved equipment to be exported to the FRG must be airworthy and must comply with the IBA-approved design. It must be identified by an Airworthiness Approval Tag (FAA Form 8130-3). The same will apply for each major component as of U.S. Class II to be used as a spare part with a Class I product which had been type certificated by the
3.8 Radio equipment must in any event be approved separately as a type by the LBA.
3.9 Integrated systems must be certificated with the aircraft.
4. HOW TO OBTAIN A GERMAN TYPE CERTIFICATE.
4.1 Applicant. The applicant for a German type certificate ("Musterzulassung") or a change thereof must be the manufacturer or, where applicable, the U.S. type certificate holder.
Appendix 2 In some special cases it may be possible to accept an application for an IBA type certificate from a person who is not the manufacturer (type certificate holder), provided the applicant furnishes proof that he has been duly authorized and is capable to assume complete responsibility for the product in regard of continuing airworthiness.

Appendix 2
5.5 Changes of Products Under LBA Equipment Approval. Each design change of a product requiring substantially complete investigation for Chowing Compliance with any requirement forming part of the specification found acceptable to the IBA and hence can be classified a "major change" must be notified to the IBA together with written evidence of FAA approval.
6. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR TYPE CERTIFICATION OF AIRCRAFT.
6.l Language. Except where an exemption is granted as indicated below, all operating instructions (including markings and placards) must be provided in the German language.
Exemptions:
- Operating instructions except placards for passengers for all multiengine airplances and for rotorcraft of more than 2,000 kg (4,400 lbs) maximum weight.
Maintenance instructions may be in English except for sailplanes, powered sailplanes, manned balloons and parachutes.
Note: The LBA Gerate-Kennblatt (T.C. Data Sheet) will specify which of the documents accompanying the individual imported aircraft must be in German, if any - (S. para. 6.1) should correspond to GAMA scheme or equivalent and needs IBA approval. As to revisions to the German Flight Manual (Flughandbuch) refer to para. 4.5.
6.3 Noise Limits. According to the "Luftverkehrsgesetz" (German Aviation Act), an aircraft will be eligible for a Certificate of Airworthiness ("Lufttuchtigkeitszeugnis") only, if its noise level is as low as technologically practicable, and appropriate to the type of aircraft to which it applies.
For conformity, the German noise requirements based on ICAO-Annex 16 must be complied with. For subsonic turbine powered airplanes and propeller driven airplanes over 5,700 kg (12,500 1bs) FAR Part 36 of the Federal Aviation Regulations is an acceptable means of compliance.
6.4 Anticollision lights and color markings. All airplanes, rotorcraft and airships must be equipped with anticollision lights in accordance with the applicable FAR's. As to sailplanes and powered sailplanes, conspicuous color painting may be used instead of anticollision lights for flights at daylight.
The latter is also applicable to one and two seated airplanes with a maximum weight of less than 600 kg (1,300 lbs). Detailed information is available on request from the IBA.
