Alexander Schleicher, Segelflugzeugbau transferred TC G30EU to Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co. Segelflugzeugbau in 1984. I - Model ASW 17 Glider, approved September 4, 1974 Airspeed Limits. (I.A.S.) Glide or dive in calm and rough air At flap setting 1 130 knots (149 mph) At flap setting 2 and 3 92 knots (106 mph) At flap setting 4 81 knots (93 mph) Airplane tow 92 knots (106 mph) Auto-winch tow 65 knots (75 mph) Dive brakes extended 130 knots (149 mph) C.G.

Maximum takeoff weight without water ballast* 1160 lbs Maximum takeoff weight with water ballast 1257 lbs * Total weight of glider must not exceed 1160 lbs before water ballast is added. Gliders without water ballast tanks installed therefore have a maximum takeoff weight (limitation of 1160 lbs) No. of Seats. 1 (-26.5 in) Baggage. 24 lbs (+6.5 in) Control Surface Movements.

Winch-auto launch 1323 lbs (600 Kg) max. Airplane tow 1323 lbs (600 Kg) max. Serial Nos. Eligible. The NAA Export Certificate of Airworthiness (Export C of A) endorsed as noted below under "Import Requirements" must be submitted for each individual glider for which application for standard airworthiness certification is made. Import Requirements. 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 February 1966 and conforms to Type Certificate No. G30EU". 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. FAR 21.23, effective 1 February 1965. Federal Republic of Germany Glider Airworthiness Requirements, 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 No. G30EU issued September 4, 1974. Date of Application for Type Certificate: April 4, 1974. The LBA, originally type certificated these gliders under its Type Certificate (TC) No. 282, issued February 5, 1974. 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 and remains valid. Equipment. The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the glider for standard airworthiness certification. In addition the following equipment must be installed: Instruments: 1) Instruments (non-cloud flying) (i) Airspeed Indicator, Schleicher P/N 6 FMS 3/W17 or an FAA- approved equivalent. (ii) Altimeter (iii) Magnetic Compass 2) Additional instruments for Cloud-flying: (i) Turn and Bank (ii) Variometer 3) LBA-approved, Schleicher "Flight and Operations Manual for the Sailplane Type ASW 17", dated December 1973 or later LBA- approved issue. G30EU 3 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 placards must be installed in full view of the pilot: 1) "This glider must be operated in compliance with the operating limitations stated in the form of placards, markings and manuals." 2) "Cloud flying: Permitted only when the following instruments are installed: (1) Airspeed indicator (2) Altimeter (3) Turn and bank Indicator (4) Variometer (5) Compass." 3) "Acrobatic maneuvers are prohibited". 4) "Night flying is prohibited." 5) "Maneuvering speed 92 knots (106 m.p.h.) Airplane tow speed 92 knots (106 m.p.h.) Auto-winch tow speed 65 knots (75 m.p.h.) Flap position 1 130 knots (149 m.p.h.) Flap positions 2 and 3 92 knots (106 m.p.h.) Flap position 4 81 knots (93 m.p.h.) Stall speed - Dive brakes extended Flap position 4 38 knots (43 m.p.h.)" 6) "For gliders without water ballast system installed: Maximum Weight 1160 lbs" 7) "For gliders with water ballast system installed: Maximum Weight excluding water ballast 1160 lbs. Maximum Weight with water ballast 1257 lbs.” 8) "Weak Link - Airplane/Auto/Winch Tow 1323 lbs. (600 kg) Max." NOTE 3. All external portions of the glider exposed to sunlight must be painted white.
