"Joint Airworthiness Requirements (JAR) for Sailplanes and Powered Sailplanes", JAR-22 through Change 4, Issued May 7, 1987; and the following requirements from FAA Advisory Circular 21.17-2, dated July 13, 1989: 22.177(b) Including AC 21.17-2 par. 6.c.(6)(i)(D) 22.1545 Including AC 21.17-2 par. 6.c.(6)(iii) 3. The FAA Act of 1958 Section 611(b). LBA Type Certificate 357 dated 12 September 1991. Date of Application for U.S. Type Certificate: 1 November 1993. The German Airworthiness Authority, the Luftfahrt -Bundesamt (LBA), originally type certificated this glider under its Type Certificate Number 357. The FAA validat ed this product under U.S. Type Certificate Number G83EU. 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. 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. G83EU and to be in a condition for safe operation.” All model LS 6-c 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 3 G83EU 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. Model LS 6-c glider serial numbers 6261, 6288, 6306, 6308 and 6333 are eligible for U.S. Standard Airworthiness Certification when: 1) The FAA inspector is provided with the original Export C of A issued by the LBA which certifies the glider conforms to the foreign type certificate. 2) The glider has been modified in accordance with the LBA-approved ROLLADEN-SCHNEIDER Technical Bulletin 6028, dated February 28, 1995, and 3) The glider is found to be in condition for safe operation by the FAA inspector. Equipment. The required equipment for the kinds of approved operations must be installed and are listed in the LS 6-c Maintenance Manual, LBA approved on October 15, 1994, or later approved revision. The equipment approved for the LS 6- c glider is listed in the LS6-c Maintenance Manual. Service Information. Each of the documents listed below must state that it is approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) or – for approvals made before September 28, 2003 – by the German Airworthiness Authority (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. Current weight and balance report including list of equipment in certificated empty weight, and loading instructions when necessary must be provided at the time of original certification. NOTE 2. The placards listed in the LS 6-c Maintenance Manual must be displayed in the locations defined. NOTE 3. The LS 6-c Maintenance Manual section titled "Airworthiness Limitations Section", is FAA-approved, and it specifies mandatory replacement times, structural inspection intervals, and related structural inspection procedures. These airworthiness limitations may not be changed without FAA approval. Flight Manual limitations may not be changed without FAA approval. NOTE 4. All external portions of the glider exposed to sunlight must be painted white. Other colors may be used for the wing tips, nose of fuselage and rudder. NOTE 5. Major repairs must be accomplished at FAA certificated repair stations rated for composite aircraft structure work or by a certified mechanic, in accordance with DG Aviation GmbH (or DG Flugzeugbau GmbH or ROLLADEN-SCHNEIDER) repair methods approved by the FAA or by other methods approved by the FAA.
