See Import Requirements. Certification Basis. FAR 21.23 and FAR 21.29 effective February 1, 1965. Type Certificate No. G32EU issued July 14, 1976. Date of Application for Type Certificate: October 3, 1975. The German Airworthiness Authority, the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA) , originally type certificated this glider under its Type Certificate Number 301/DG-100. The FAA validated this product under U.S. Type Certificate Number G 32EU. Effective September 28, 2003, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this product on behalf of Germany. The EASA TCDS number is EASA.A.239. Validation Basis. Type Certificate was issued in accordance to FAR 21.29(a)(1) in validation of the LBA certification of compliance with the Federal Republic of Germany Glider Airworthiness Requirements (LFS) dated February 1966. Import Requirements. The FAA can issue a U.S. airworthiness certificate based on a German Airworthiness Authority Export Certificate of Airworthiness (Export C of A) signed by a representative of the LBA. The Export C of A should contain the following statement: “The aircraft covered by this certificate has been examined, tested, and found to conform to the type design approved under U.S. Type Certificate No. G32EU and to be in a condition for safe operation.” All model DG-100 gliders are eligible for a U.S. Standard Airworthiness Certificate, if all import requirements of this TCDS are satisfied. 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. Required Equipment. The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (as listed in Flight Manual) must be installed in the glider for standard airworthiness certification. In addition the following equipment must be installed: 1. Instruments (non-cloud flying) (a) Airspeed indicator (b) Altimeter 3 G32EU (c) Magnetic compass 2. Additional instruments for cloud flying (a) Turn and slip indicator (b) Variometer 3. DG-100 Flight Manual (Containing Flight and Service Manual), approved by the LBA. 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 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. NOTES. NOTE 1. Weight: Current weight and balance report including the list of equipment in certificated empty weight, and loading instructions when necessary must be provided at the time of original certification. NOTE 2. A. The following placards and markings must be displayed in full view of the pilot: (1) Maximum airspeeds Never exceed (Vne) 260 km/h. 162 mph 140 kts In rough air (Vb) 260 km/h. 162 mph 140 kts Maneuvering (Va) 165 km/h. 103 mph 89 kts On aero-tow (Vt) 165 km/h. 103 mph 89 kts On winch tow (Vw) 130 km/h. 81 mph 70 kts Landing gear extended 165 km/h. 103 mph 89 kts Spoilers 260 km/h. 162 mph 140 kts (2) Gross weight 418 kg. (922 lb.) including water ballast. If the pilot's weight with the parachute is below 75 kg. (165 lb.) ballast weight must be installed in the trim weight holder or in the seat. (See Flight Manual). (3) Operating Limitations The sailplane must be operated in compliance with the operating limitations as stated in the form of markings, placards and Flight Manual. Cloud flying is only permitted when the following instruments are installed: airspeed indicator, altimeter, magnetic compass, turn and slip indicator and variometer. Approved aerobatics maneuvers Maneuver Recommended entry speed Looping, chandelle, stall turn 170 km/h. 106 mph 92 kts Spin Use slow deceleration Maximum load factor - at maneuvering speed: +5.3/-2.65 at never exceed speed: +4.0/-1.5 All aerobatics maneuvers including spins must be accomplished in accordance with the approved DG-1000 Flight Manual. Night flying is prohibited. 4 G32EU B. Other markings or placards Near the tow coupling Rated load 500 kg (1100 lb.) Above the main wheel 2.5 Kg/cm2 (36 psi) Above the tail wheel 2.0 Kg/cm2 (28 psi) NOTE 3. Inspections, Maintenance, Repairs and Repainting must be accomplished in accordance with DG-100 Flight Manual, Service Manual Section. NOTE 4. For painting exterior surfaces use only two component paints with ultra-violet protection as listed in Repair Manual. NOTE 5.
