Background 

On May 18, 2011, DG Flugzeugbau 

GmbH submitted an application for type 

validation of the DG–1000M glider in 

accordance with the Technical 

Implementation Procedures for 

Airworthiness and Environmental 

Certification Between the FAA and the 

European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), dated May 05, 2011. This 

model is a variant of the DG–1000T 

powered glider and will be added to 

existing Type Certificate No. G20CE. 

The model DG–1000M is a two-seat, 

mid-wing, self-launching, powered 

glider with a retractable engine and 

fixed-pitch propeller. It is constructed 

from carbon and glass fiber reinforced 

plastic, and features a conventianl Ttype tailplane. The glider also features 

a 65.6 foot (20 meter) wingspan and a 

maximum weight of 1,742 pounds (790 

kilograms). 

The EASA type certificated the DG– 

1000M powered glider under Type 

Certificate Number (No.) EASA.A.072 

on March 17, 2011. The associated 

EASA Type Certificate Data Sheet 

(TCDS) No. EASA.A.072 defines the DG 

Flugzeubau GmbH certification basis 

submitted to the FAA for review and 

acceptance. 

The applicable requirements for glider 

certification in the United States can be 

found in FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 

21.17–2A, ‘‘Type Certification—FixedWing Gliders (Sailplanes), Including 

Powered Gliders,’’ dated February 10, 

1993. AC 21.17–2A has been the basis 

for certification of gliders and powered 

gliders in the United States for many 

years. AC 21.17–2A states that 

applicants may utilize the Joint Aviation 

Requirements (JAR)–22, ‘‘Sailplanes and 

Powered Sailplanes,’’ or another 

accepted airworthiness criteria, or a 

combination of both, as the accepted 

means for showing compliance for 

glider type certification. 

Type Certification Basis 

The applicant proposed a 

Certification Basis based on JAR–22, 

amendment 6, dated August 01, 2001. In 

addition to JAR–22 requirements, the 

applicant proposed to comply with 

other requirements from the 

certification basis referenced in EASA 

TCDS No. EASA.A.072, including an 

equivalent safety finding. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 21 

Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting 

and record keeping requirements. 

The authority citation for these 

airworthiness criteria is as follows: 

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7572; 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 

106(g), 40105, 40113, 44701–44702, 44704, 

44707, 44709, 44711, 44713, 44715, 45303. 

The Proposed Design Criteria 

Applicable Airworthiness Criteria 

under § 21.17(b). 

Based on the Special Class provisions 

of § 21.17(b), the following 

airworthiness requirements form the 

FAA Certification Basis for this design: 

1. 14 CFR part 21, effective February 1, 

1965, including amendments 21–1 through 

21–92 as applicable. 

2. JAR–22, amendment 6, dated August 01, 

2001. 

3. EASA Equivalent Safety Finding to JAR 

22.207(c)—Stall warning. (FAA issued 

corresponding Equivalent Level of Safety 

(ELOS) Memorandum No. ACE–07–01A, 

dated April 02, 2012, as an extension to an 

existing ELOS finding).

September 15, 1992. 

6. Operations allowed: VFR–Day, and 

‘‘Cloud Flying’’ where ‘‘Cloud Flying’’ is 

considered flying in Instrument 

Meteorological Conditions (IMC) and 

requires an Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 

clearance in the United States. This is 

permissible 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.

Docket No. 17–AGL–6] 

Proposed Amendment of Class E 

Airspace for the Following Ohio 

Towns; Millersburg, OH and 

Coshocton, OH 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

modify Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Holmes County Airport, Millersburg, 

OH; and at Richard Downing Airport, 

Coshocton, OH due to the 

decommissioning of Tiverton VHF 

Omnidirectional Range (VOR) and 

Distance Measuring Equipment (DME), 

cancellation of the VOR approaches, 

and implementation of area navigation 

(RNAV) procedures have made this 

action necessary for the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations at these airports. 

Additionally, the geographic 

coordinates at Richard Downing Airport 

would be adjusted to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before November 6, 2017.
