Type Certificate G16EU issued June 23rd, 1967 Date of Application for Type Certificate: June 27th, 1966 The German Airworthiness Authority, the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA), originally type certificated glider Models Phoebus A1, Phoebus B1, and Phoebus C under its Type Certificate No. 252. Effective September 20, 2016, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this product on behalf of the LBA. The EASA Type Certificate No. is EASA.A.635. Import Requirements A U.S. Airworthiness Certificate may be issued on the basis of a Certificate of Airworthiness for Export signed by a representative of the German Airworthiness Authority (LBA), on behalf of the European Community, containing 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 G16EU and is in a condition for safe operation.”. 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. 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 may state that it is approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) or – for approvals made before September 20, 2016 – 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 unless one of the following conditions exist: • The documents change the limitations, performance, or procedures of the FAA approved manuals. The FAA uses the post type validation procedures to approve these documents. The FAA may delegate case-by-case approval to EASA on behalf of the FAA for the U.S. type certificate. If this is the case it will be noted on the document. 3 G16EU 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.
