Serial Numbers Eligible. (See Import Requirements and NOTE 5) 
 
 
Data Pertinent To All Models 
 
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.  (See NOTE 5) 
 
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. G36EU and is in 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. 
 
Certification Basis. FAR 21.29, effective February 1, 1965. 
Federal Republic of Germany 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 provision of FAR 21.29. 
Type Certificate No. G36EU issued January 12, 1977. 
Date of Application for Type Certificate: May 5, 1976. 
 
The LBA, originally type certificated these gliders under its Type Certificate 
(TC) No. 308, initial issue May 7, 1976.  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. 
 
Equipment. The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness 
regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the glider for standard

G36EU 3 
 
airworthiness certification. In addition the following equipment must be 
installed: 
1) Instruments (Non-Cloud flying): 
(i) Airspeed indicator, Winter 6FMS/W 19, or PZL PR-250S/W 19 with 
extended range to 270 km/h., or an FAA-approved equivalent. 
(ii) Altimeter. 
(iii) Lap and shoulder straps. 
2) Additional Instruments for Cloud flying: 
(i) Magnetic compass. 
(ii) Turn and bank. 
(iii) Variometer. 
3) For Model ASW-19: LBA-approved Flight and Operations Manual dated 
May 1976 or later LBA-approved issue. 
For Model ASW-19B: LBA-approved Flight and Operations Manual dated 
June 1978 or later LBA-approved issue. 
 
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 including spins must be accomplished in accordance with the LBA-
approved Model ASW-19 Flight and Operations Manual.  Aerobatics prohibited with water 
ballast aboard." 
4) "Night flying is prohibited."
