Certification Basis. 1) Code of Federal Regulations (CRF), 14CRF21, Effective February 1, 1965, Amendment 21-1 through 21-71. 2) "Joint Airworthiness Requirements (JAR) for Sailplanes and Powered Sailplanes", JAR-22 through Change 5, Issued October 28, 1995. 3) The FAA act of 1958 Section 611(b). 4) Exemption no. 4988 (External Markings) to 14CFR45, Effective April 20, 1964, Amendments 45-1 through 45-16, Section 45.11(a) and (d) (External Identification Plate). 5) Date of Application for U.S. Type Certificate: November 7, 2000. The German Airworthiness Authority, the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA) originally type certificated this glider under its Type Certificate (TC) No. 423, issued July 18, 2001. Effective September 28, 2003, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this model and the LBA TC was deemed to be issued by EASA. The EASA Type Certificate No. is EASA.A.017. Import Requirements. A U.S. Standard Airworthiness Certificate may be issued on the basis of an Export Certificate of Airworthiness (Export C of A) signed by a representative of the German Airworthiness Authority (LBA), on behalf of the European Community. The Export C of A should contain the following statement: "The glider covered by this certificate has been examined, tested and found to conform to the type design approved under FAA Type Certificate No. G13CE and is in condition for safe operation." All Model ASW 28 serial numbers are eligible for U.S. Standard Airworthiness Certificate when: For gliders exported to the U.S. prior to FAA type certificate approval: 1) The FAA inspector is provided with the original Export C of A issued by the LBA which certifies the glider conforms to the LBA TC No. 423, and 2) The glider is found to be in condition for safe operation by the FAA inspector. For gliders exported to the U.S. after the FAA type certificate approval: 1) The FAA inspector is provided with the original Export C of A issued by the LBA which certifies the glider conforms to the FAA TC No. G13CE, and 2) The glider is found to be in condition for safe operation by the FAA inspector. 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 Page 3 of 3 G13CE FAA Order 8130.2, Airworthiness Certification of Aircraft, for requirements for issuance of an airworthiness certificate for imported aircraft. Equipment. The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the glider for certification. Minimum Equipment: 1 - Airspeed Indicator (up to 162 kts (300 km/h) range) 1 - Altimeter 1 - Four-point safety harness 1 - Parachute or back cushion (at least 3.25 in (8cm) thick when compressed) 1 - ASW 28 Glider Flight Manual 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 German Airworthiness Authority (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. NOTE 1. Current weight and balance report including list of equipment in certificated empty weight, and loading instructions when necessary must be provided at the time of original certification. NOTE 2. The placards listed in the Alexander Schleicher ASW 28 Maintenance Manual must be displayed in the locations defined. NOTE 3. Section 4.3 of the Alexander Schleicher ASW 28 Maintenance Manual, titled "Airworthiness Limitations Section", is FAA-approved, and it specifies mandatory replacement times, structural inspection intervals, and related structural inspection procedures. These Airworthiness Limitations may not be changed without FAA approval. The ASW 28 Flight Manual is FAA approved. Limitations as defined in the Flight Manual may not be changed without FAA approval. NOTE 4. All external portions of the glider exposed to sunlight must be painted white, with the only exception of the area for registration letters and the anti-collision paint as specified by the manufacturer. NOTE 5. This glider is approved for limited aerobatics, as specified in the Flight Manual, WITHOUT water ballast on board. NOTE 6. Major structural repairs must be accomplished by a properly certificated mechanic in accordance with data approved by the FAA. …..END….. ``` ## ADs None name its models. ## Registered aircraft by registry model (OpenAirDocs) - [Schleicher ASW-28](https://openairdocs.org/model/schleicher-asw-28): 16 aircraft (registry code 3801550) --- OpenAirDocs.org is an independent research project of [Contrail Labs](https://contraillabs.com/).
