The Federal Republic of Germany Government Certificate of Airworthiness for Export endorsed as noted below under "Import Requirements" must be submitted for each individual aircraft for which application for airworthiness certification is made. Certification basis FAR 21.29 and FAR 23 dated 1 February 1965 as amended by Amendments 23-1 through 23-9 inclusive. Type Certificate No. A27EU, issued 9 July 1971. Date of Application for Type Certificate: 11 May 1970. The Luftfahrt Bundesamt originally type certificated this aircraft under its type certificate Number 680. The FAA validated this product under U.S. Type Certificate Number A27EU. Effective September 28, 2003, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this product on behalf of Germany. The EASA type certificate for the BO-209 models is EASA.A.357. Import Requirements The FAA can issue a U.S. airworthiness certificate based on an NAA Export Certificate of Airworthiness (Export C of A) signed by a representative of the Luftfahrt Bundesamt on behalf of the European Community. The Export C of A should contain the following statement: ‘The aircraft covered by this certificate has been examined, tested, and found to comply with U.S. airworthiness regulations 14 CFR Part 23 approved under U.S. Type Certificate No. A27EU and to be in a condition for safe operation.’ Service Information Each of the documents listed below must state that it is approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) or – for approvals made before September 28, 2003 – by the Luftfahrt Bundesamt. • Service bulletins, • Structural repair manuals, • Vendor manuals, • Aircraft flight manuals, and • Overhaul and maintenance manuals. The FAA accepts such documents and considers them FAA-approved unless one of the following conditions exists: • The documents change the limitations, performance, or procedures of the FAA approved manuals; or •The documents make an acoustical or emissions changes to this product’s U.S. type certificate as defined in 14 CFR § 21.93. 5 A27EU Service Information, cont'd The FAA uses the post type validation procedures to approve these documents. The FAA may delegate on case-by-case to EASA to approve on behalf of the FAA for the U.S. type certificate. If this is the case it will be noted on the document. Equipment The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the aircraft for certification. In addition, the following items of equipment are required: 1. Stall Warning System. 2. LBA-approved Model BO-209 Approved Flight Manual, Ref. No. LF37E-7/71 dated July 1971 or later LBA-approved revision, (prior to September 28, 2003), or approved by EASA on or after that date. 3. Airplanes S/N 121 through 130 must be modified in accordance with MBB Technical Note TN 9-71 to provide an alternate static system source and an aural landing gear warning system. (These systems are incorporated in production on S/Ns 131 and subsequent). 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 airplane at the time of original airworthiness certification. The certificated empty weight and corresponding center of gravity must include undrainable oil of 0 lbs. at +39.4 and unusable fuel of 3.6 lb. at +90.7. NOTE 2. The following placard must be displayed in front and in clear view of the pilot: "This airplane must be operated as a Normal or Utility Category airplane in compliance with their operating limitations stated in the form of placards, markings, and manuals." In addition, all placards required in the LBA-approved Airplane Flight Manual must be installed in the appropriate location. NOTE 3. Information essential for proper maintenance of the airplane is contained in the Messerschmitt-Bolkow- Blohm GmbH., Model BO-209 Maintenance Manual included in MBB document Ref. LF 37E-7/71. NOTE 4. The airplane manufacturer is: Waggon- und Maschienenbau A.G. Donauworth, Laupheim Federal Republic of Germany (A division of Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm). NOTE 5. Installation of a Tost tow coupling (ring type), LBA approval No. 60.230.4 may be approved when installed in accordance with MBB Drwg. 209-85003 (for glider towing) or MBB Drwgs. 209-85003 and 209-8700 (for banner towing). NOTE 6. For issuance of an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 CFR Part 21.182(c), the Luftfahrt Bundesamt of Germany must certify that the airplane conforms to the type design and is in a condition for safe operation. In that regard, the Luftfahrt Bundesamt of Germany will certify that the airplane complies with all applicable mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) it has issued. For issuance of an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 CFR Part 21.182(d) the certificating inspector, or other authorized person, must find, among other things, that the product is in a condition for safe operation. In order to make that finding, the certificating inspector or other authorized person should contact ACE -112, Federal Aviation Administration, Small Airplane Directorate, prior to issuance to determine whether showing airplane compliance with certain MCAI is necessary to support a finding that the airplane is in a condition for safe operation. 6 A27EU NOTE 7. Some of these transfers were not notified to the FAA and so in some instances the actual type certificates were not reissued. NOTE 8. The five models listed on this FAA type certificate data sheet are “variants” of the EASA model Bölkow BO 209 MONSUN as listed on TCDS EASA.A.357 (see A.IV. Flight Manual BO 209 MONSUN) and are covered as the same type design as this EASA model. The EASA TCDS is based on LBA TCDS No. 680/SA (at Issue 9, dated 12 April 2005). The model Bölkow BO 209 S, as defined in Section B of EASA.A.357, was not validated by the FAA and is not covered by this FAA TCDS. .....END..... ``` ## ADs (4, in force first) - [AD 91-08-08](https://openairdocs.org/ad/91-08-08): Elevator Spar Truss and Reinforcement Angle Bar · DaimlerChrysler Aerospace BO-209-150 FF, BO-209-150 FV, BO-209-150 RV and 2 more.
