That seems strange. The glider entered USA without any US
airworthiness certification but it cannot leave?

Is it not possible, for example, to send a German manufactured glider
with a US experimental certificate, back to Germany for repairs?

Is this a US export restriction, or a UK import restriction?

Can the glider just be de-registered in US and re-registered or re-
certified in UK based on the original LBA certification?

I'm interested since I may find myself in the same situation one day.
