Each individual aircraft manufactured under this type certificate must be accompanied by an Export Certificate of Airworthiness as noted below under "Import Requirements" when an application for a U.S. airworthiness certificate is made. Import Requirements The FAA can issue a U.S. airworthiness certificate based on an NAA Export Certificate of Airworthiness (Export C of A) signed by a representative of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Czech Republic (CAA-CZ) on behalf of the European Community. The Export C of A should contain the following statement: ‘The aircraft covered by this certificate has been examined, tested, and found to comply with U.S. airworthiness regulations 14 CFR Federal Aviation Regulations Part 21.17(b) , U.S. Type Certificate No. G60EU and to be in a condition for safe operation.’ Country other than Manufacturer (U.S. bilateral agreement and the original Export Certificate of Airworthiness issued by the country of manufacture must exist): A U.S. airworthiness certificate may be issued on the basis of a log book certifying statement endorsed by an authorized representative of the civil aviation authority of the exporting country. It is incumbent upon the exporting civil aviation authority to determine that the certifying statement includes evidence of acceptable service history and modification deviations and the following statement: "The aircraft covered by this certificate has been examined, tested, and inspected in accordance with the provisions of FAR 21.183(d) or its equivalent, and found to conform to the type design approved under Type Certificate G60EU and is in a condition for safe operation." Other eligible model L 23 aircraft (S/N 928007 and before) imported in the U.S.A must be modified and equipped in accordance with LET Mandatory Bulletin No. L23/013a, dated March 17, 1993, for conformity with the type design approved under Type Certificate G60EU (Reference design change ZKA 70168), and meet the identification Page 3 of 4 G60EU and marking requirements of FAR 45. All modifications accomplished subsequent to original manufacture must be FAA approved. 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 21.17(b): JAR 22 Ch. 4 (Amend. 22/86/1, eff October 22, 1986, amended as follows: - JAR 22.177(b) including AC 21.17-2, para. 6.c.

The CAA-CZ originally type certificated this glider under its type certificate Number 89- 02. The FAA validated this product under U.S. Type Certificate Number G60EU. Effective May 17, 2006, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this product on behalf of the Czech Republic. The EASA TCDS number is EASA.A.044. Validation Basis Type Certificate G60EU was issued pursuant to FAR 21.29 in validation of the Czech Republic Civil Aviation Inspectorate (CAI) certification of compliance with the aforementioned certification basis, and in accordance with the standard airworthiness certificate provisions of FAR 21.183(c). Note: The airworthiness provisions of FAR 21.183(d) may be cited as the basis for issuance of standard airworthiness certificates for aircraft imported from a country other than the country of manufacture. Equipment The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the aircraft for airworthiness certification. In addition, the following items of equipment are required: 1) Instruments All Operations: (i) Airspeed indicator. (ii) Altimeter. (iii) Lap and shoulder straps. 2) Additional Instruments required for Cloud flying: (i) Magnetic compass (ii) Turn and bank. (iii) Variometer (Vertical Speed Indicator). 3) CAA-CZ approved Sailplane Flight Manual, DO-L23.1011.5, dated October 14, 1992 or later approved revision/issue (sailplanes without approval for wing tip extensions). 4) CAA-CZ approved Sailplane Flight Manual, DO-L23.1012.5, dated December 1, 1993 or later approved revision/issue (sailplanes with optional wing tip extensions). 5) CAA-CZ approved Sailplane Flight Manual, DO-L23.1014.5, dated January 4, 2002 or later approved revision/issue (sailplanes with increased gross weight of 1168 lbs). G60EU Page 4 of 4 Service Information Each of the documents listed below must state that it is approved by the EASA or – for approvals made before May 17, 2006 – by the CAA-CZ. • Service bulletins, • Structural repair manuals, • Vendor manuals, • Aircraft flight manuals, and • 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 the post type validation procedures to approve these documents. The FAA may delegate on case-by-case to EASA to approve 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: "This glider must be operated in compliance with the operating limitations stated in the form of placards, markings and manuals." In addition all placards required in the approved Sailplane Flight Manual must be installed in the appropriate locations. Required Placards (Refer to Manufacturer's Specifications for contents): (1) Minimum Pilot's weight (2) Pedal Adjustment (3) Air Vent (4) Canopy-Jettison (5) Seat Back (6) Center of Gravity Range (7) Winch, Tow, Maneuver Speeds (8) Operating Limitations (Two separate placards) (9) VNE/VRA Speeds (10) Maximum Allowable Speed vs Altitude (11) Air Brakes (12) Jettison / Lift Off (Rear Seat) (13) Wheel Brake (14) Landing Gear (15) Front Lift Off (16) Baggage (Rear Seat) (17) Trimmer (18) Release NOTE 3.
