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 and found to comply with the 7G6 2 Federal Republic of Germany glider airworthiness requirements dated August 1939, and conforms to TC 7G6". Each glider and any replacement parts manufactured in Germany must be designated as "import" and clearly labeled as such in accordance with CAR 10.30. 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.

The LBA, originally type certificated this glider under its Type Certificate (TC) No. L-164, issued August 18, 1954. This model belongs to European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Annex 1 and therefore remains under the oversight of the LBA. Equipment. The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the aircraft 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 • 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. NOTES 1. Current weight and balance report including list of equipment included in certificated empty weight, and loading instructions when necessary, must be in each glider at the time of original certification and at all times thereafter.
