Eligible. The NAA Export Certificate of Airworthiness (Export C of A) endorsed as noted below under "Import Requirements" must be submitted for each individual glider for which application for certification is made. Import Requirements. A U.S. airworthiness certificate may be issued on the basis of an NAA Export C of A signed by a representative of the German Airworthiness Authority, the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA), containing the following statement: "The glider covered by this certificate has been examined, tested and found to comply fully with the Federal Republic of Germany glider airworthiness requirements dated August 1939, and conforms to Type Certificate No. 7G1". Refer to the applicable bilateral agreement to verify eligibility for import into the United States of both new and used aircraft based on the scope of the agreement, to identify any required statements by the exporting authority on the export certificate of airworthiness (or equivalent document), and for procedures for coordinating exceptions to conformity statements on these documents. Refer to FAA Order 8130.2, Airworthiness Certification of Aircraft, for requirements for issuance of an airworthiness certificate for imported aircraft. Certification Basis. CAR 10, and Federal Republic of Germany glider airworthiness requirements dated August 1939. (These requirements are equivalent to CAR 5 effective February 15, 1956.) Type Certificate 7G1 issued November 19, 1959. Application for Type Certificate dated July 23, 1957. The LBA, originally type certificated these gliders under its Type Certificate (TC) No. L-205, initial issue October 30, 1956. Effective September 28, 2003, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of these models and the LBA TC was deemed to be issued by EASA and remains valid. Equipment. The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the glider for certification. Service Information. Each of the documents listed below must state that it is approved by the EASA or – for approvals made before September 28, 2003 – by the LBA: • Service bulletins • Structural repair manuals • Vendor manuals 7G1 3 • Aircraft flight manuals • Overhaul and maintenance manuals The FAA accepts such documents and considers them FAA-approved for type design data only unless one of the following conditions exists: • The documents change the limitations, performance, or procedures of the FAA approved manuals. The FAA uses post type validation procedures to approve these documents. The FAA may delegate on a case-by-case basis to EASA to approve these on behalf of the FAA for the U.S. type certificate. If this is the case, it will be noted on the document. NOTES. NOTE 1. Current weight and balance report including list of equipment in certificated empty weight, and loading instructions when necessary, must be provided for each glider at the time of original certification and at all times thereafter. NOTE 2. The following placard must be installed in full view of the pilot in gliders with fixed hinged canopies: "Cloud flying prohibited". ...END...
