FAR 21.23 and FAR 21.29 effective February 1, 1965. Type Certificate No. G35EU, issued September 21, 1976. Date of Application for Type Certificate September 25, 1975. The German Airworthiness Authority, the Luftfahrt -Bundesamt (LBA), originally type certificated this glider under its Type Certificate Number 262. The FAA validated this product under U.S. Type Certificate Number G35EU. 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.095. Validation Basis. Type Certificate No. G35EU was issued in accordance to FAR 21.29(a)(1) in validation of the LBA certification of compliance to the Federal Republic of Germany Glider Airworthiness Requirements dated 1966. Import Requirements. The FAA can issue a U.S. airworthiness certificate based on a German 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. G35EU and to be in a condition for safe operation.” All model LS 1-f 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. Equipment. The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the glider for certification. Per the Flight Manual, the following equipment must be installed. 1. Non-cloud flying Airspeed indicator Altimeter Magnetic compass 2. Cloud flying Turn and slip Variometer 3. LS 1-f 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 3 G35EU • 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. 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. A. The following placards must be installed in full view of the pilot: 1. Airspeed Limits (I.A.S.)
