6. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR TYPE CERTIFICATION OF AIRCRAFT•
6.1 Lanquage. 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 airplanes and for rotorcraft of more than 63
Appendix 2 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 (Type Certificate Data Sheet) will specity which oi the documents accompanying the individual imported aircraft must be in German, if any.
6.2 Flight Manua_ or Pilot's Operating Handbook. Contrary to the U.S. practice a Flight Manual is required for each kind of aircraft regardless of weight. The Flight Manual (Pilot's Operating Handbook) in the German language (see paragraph 6.1) should correspond to GAMA scheme or equivalent and needs LBA approval. As to revisions to the German Flight Manual (Flughandbuch) refer to paragraph 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 technologicaljy 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.
.4 Anticollision lights and color markings. All airplanes, cotorcrait 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 liqhts for flichts at daylight. The latter is alsc applicable to one and two seated airplanes with a maximum weight of less than 600 kg (1,300 1bs). Detailed information is available on request from the LBA.
6.5 Installation of Shoulder Harnesses.
In a more stringent interpretation of FAR 23.785(g) up to Amendment 19, the front seats of normal and utility airplanes must be equipped with either a shoulder harness or a belt and diagonal shoulder strap. The installation must meet the applicable FAR requirements.
(b) Seats of acrobatic category airplanes must be equipped with a shoulder harness approved for acrobatic flight for each occupant. The installation must meet the appropriate FAR requirements.
