Sailplanes, S/N 12002 through 12015 inclusive, must have an elevator control connection inspection window installed in accordance with Schleicher Technical Note 3 dated 19 May 1970 or an FAA-approved equivalent. 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 Federal Republic of Germany glider airworthiness requirements dated August 1939 plus the flight requirements of the Federal Republic of Germany Glider Airworthiness Requirements dated February 1966, and conforms to Type Certificate No. G21EU". 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. FAR 21.23, effective 1 February 1965. Federal Republic of Germany Glider Airworthiness Requirements (BVS) dated August 1939 plus the flight requirements of the Federal Republic of Germany Glider Airworthiness Requirements (LFS) dated February 1966 were found to provide a level of safety equivalent to provisions of FAR 21.23 to enable certification under the provisions of FAR 21.29. Type Certificate G21EU issued May 14, 1971. Date of Application for Type Certificate: September 14, 1967. The LBA, originally type certificated these gliders under its Type Certificate (TC) No. 259, initial issue April 4, 1967. 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. The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the glider for certification. In addition the following equipment must be installed: Instruments: G21EU 3 (1) Airspeed Indicator, Schleicher P/N 6 FMS 3/W12 or an FAA-approved Equivalent. (2) Altimeter LBA-approved Flight and Operations 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 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 for each glider at the time of original certification. NOTE 2. The following placard must be installed in full view of the pilot: a) "This sailplane must be operated in accordance with the approved Flight and Operation Manual". b) "Cloud flying: Permitted only when the following instruments are installed: (1) Airspeed indicator, Schleicher P/N 6 FMS 3/W12 or an FAA-approved equivalent. (2) Altimeter (3) Turn and bank (4) Variometer (5) Compass." c) "Acrobatic maneuvers including spins are prohibited". d) "Nightflying is prohibited". NOTE 3. All external portions of the glider exposed to sunlight must be painted white. Registration and Competition numbers must be painted blue-gray or in any other light colors. NOTE 4. Maintenance, inspections and repairs must be accomplished in accordance with Schleicher "ASW 12" Flight and Operation Manual and "ASW 12 Repair Manual", which is applicable to both the Models ASW 12 and AS 12 sailplanes.
