[Docket No. FAA–2017–0851] 

Airworthiness Criteria: Glider Design 

Criteria for DG Flugzeugbau GmbH 

Model DG–1000M Glider 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Airworthiness design criteria. 

SUMMARY: These airworthiness design 

criteria are for the DG Flugzeugbau 

GmbH model DG–1000M glider. The 

Administrator finds the design criteria, 

which make up the certification basis 

for the DG–1000M glider, acceptable. 

DATES: These airworthiness design 

criteria are effective December 15, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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 conventional 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 certification basis is based on 

JAR–22, amendment 6, dated August 01, 

2001. In addition to JAR–22 

requirements, the applicant will comply 

with other requirements from the 

certification basis referenced in EASA 

TCDS No. EASA.A.072, including an 

equivalent safety finding. 

Discussion of Comments 

Notice of proposed airworthiness 

design criteria for the DG Flugzeugbau 

GmbH model DG–1000M glider was 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 21, 2017 (82 FR 44126). No 

comments were received; therefore, 

these airworthiness design criteria are 

adopted as proposed. 

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). 

4. ‘‘Standards for Structural 

Substantiation of Sailplane and 

Powered Sailplane Parts Consisting of 

Glass or Carbon Fiber Reinforced 

Plastics,’’ Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA) 

document no. I4–FVK/91, issued July 

1991. 

5. ‘‘Guideline for the analysis of the 

electrical system for powered 

sailplanes,’’ LBA document no. I334– 

MS 92, issued 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. 

7. EASA Type Certificate Data Sheet 

No. EASA.A.072, Issue 03, dated March 

17, 2011. 

8. Date of application for FAA Type 

Certificate: May 18, 2011. 

Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on 

November 8, 2017.
