See Import Requirements Certification Basis. Based upon the provisions of 14CFR 21.17(c) and 21.29, the following airworthiness requirements are applicable to this design, and form the Certification Basis: 1) Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 14 CFR 21, Effective February 1, 1965, Amendments 21-1 through 21-71. 2) "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) Exemption No. 4988 (External Markings) to 14 CFR 45, Effective April 20, 1964, Amendments 45-1 through 45-16, Section 45.11(a) and (d) (External Identification Plate). 4) 14CFR91, Effective September 30, 1963, Amendments 91-1 through 91-229, Section 91.205 (VFR/IFR Equipment requirements). 5) The FAA Act of 1958, Section 611(b). 6) Date of Application for FAA Type Certificate, December 21, 1993. 7) Supplemental Requirements: Preliminary German Civil Aviation standards for the substantiation of the stress analysis of glider and motor glider components made from fiberglass and carbon fiber-reinforced plastics, issue January 1981. The German Airworthiness Authority, the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA) originally type certificated these gliders under its Type Certificate (TC) No. 366, issued March 7, 1989. 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. The LBA TC remains valid for both models. Import Requirements. A U.S. Standard Airworthiness Certificate may be issued on the basis of an Export Certificate of Airworthiness (Export C of A) signed by a representative of the German Airworthiness Authority (LBA), on behalf of the European Community. The Export C of A should contain the following statement: "The glider covered by this certificate has been examined, tested and found to conform to the Type Design approved under FAA Type Certificate No. G84EU and is in condition for safe operation." ASW 24 and ASW 24B serial numbers imported prior to issuance of the FAA Type Certificate are eligible for a 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, and 3 G84EU 2) The glider is found to be in a condition for safe operation by the FAA inspector. ASW 24 eligible serial numbers are: 24002, 24009, 24010, 24013, 24027, 24028, 24029, 24030, 24032, 24069, 24073, 24080, 24082, 24096, 24109, 24113, 24135, 24152, 24160, 24177, 24187, 24188, 24189, 24190, 24195, 24196, 24199, 24215, 24216, 24217, 24219, 24221, 24222, 24224, 24225, 24229 and subsequent. ASW 24B eligible serial numbers are: 24231, 24232, 24240, 24241, 24242 and subsequent. 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. Minimum equipment: 1 Airspeed indicator (up to 300 km/h range) 1 Altimeter 1 Four-part symmetrical safety harness In addition, the approved applicable model Flight Manual, Issue March 1989, is required. Note: Additional equipment - see approved applicable model Maintenance Manual, Section 12. 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 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 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. Available Documents for the Models ASW 24 and ASW 24B: • Flight Manual for each model, Issue March 1989, LBA-approved When using the winglets according to Technical Note No. 6 refer to revised Flight Manual pages 0.4, 0.5, 1.4, 4.2, 4.4, 4.6, 4.12 thru 4.14, 4.20, 4.21 and 8.3 marked with the Revision Entry "TN 6/18.08.92 Juw". • Maintenance Manual for each model, Issue March 1989 When using the winglets according to Technical Note No. 6 refer to revised Maintenance Manual pages 0.4, 0.5, 1.2, 1.4, 2.35, 6.3 and 7.4 marked with the Revision Entry "TN 6/18.08.92 Juw". • Alexander Schleicher Repair Manual, Issue February 1983 4 G84EU • Operations and maintenance instructions for the safety tow release coupling "Europa G 72" and "Europa G 73", Issue May 1975, LBA-approved, or Operations Manual for the safety tow release coupling, Production series: safety tow release coupling "Europa G 72" and safety tow release coupling "Europa G 73", Issue January 1989, LBA-approved • Operations and maintenance instructions for the nose tow release coupling, "E 72" and "E 75", Issue May 1975, LBA-approved, or Operations Manual for the nose tow release coupling, "E 72" and "E 75", Issue February 1989, LBA-approved • Operations Manual for the safety tow release coupling, "Europa G 88", Issue February 1989, LBA-approved • Operations Manual for the nose tow release coupling "E 85", Issue March 1989, LBA-approved 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 Alexander Schleicher ASW 24/ 24B Maintenance Manual must be displayed in the locations defined. NOTE 3. Section 5 of the Alexander Schleicher ASW 24/ 24B Maintenance Manual, 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 surfaces of the glider that are exposed to sunlight, must be painted white, with the only exception of the area for the registration letters and the anti-collision paintwork. NOTE 5. The ASW 24B only differs from the ASW 24 with the implementation of Technical Notes 8, 9, and 10. NOTE 6. The glider is suitable for semi-aerobatics in accordance with the data in the Flight Manual. NOTE 7. These glider models are approved for VFR flights during daylight. NOTE 8. Without waterballast on board, the glider is suitable for “Cloud Flying” in accordance with the data in the Flight Manual. “Cloud Flying” is considered flying in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) and requires an Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) clearance in the U.S. This is permissible in the U.S. provided the pilot has the appropriate rating per 14 CFR 61.3, the glider contains the necessary equipment specified under 14 CFR 91.205, and the pilot complies with IFR requirements. .....END..... ``` ## ADs None name its models. ## Registered aircraft by registry model (OpenAirDocs) - [Schleicher ASW-24](https://openairdocs.org/model/schleicher-asw-24): 32 aircraft (registry code 3801514) - [Schleicher ASW-24B](https://openairdocs.org/model/schleicher-asw-24b): 9 aircraft (registry code 3801517) --- OpenAirDocs.org is an independent research project of [Contrail Labs](https://contraillabs.com/).
