My understanding is the ASG-29 is certified as an "ASW 27-18" and is
therefore included on the ASW 27 type certificate in europe.

Tony

Absolutely right.

Paulus - I give you the following information for free:

The type certificate says:

For variants:
ASW 27
ASW 27-18
ASW 27-18 E

And an ASW 27-18 E is otherwise know as an ASG 29 E

From the ASG 29 E Flight Manual:

1.6 Why “ASW 27-18” and not “ASG 29” on manuals and
placards
This sailplane model clearly derives from the ASW 27. Well-proven features
were taken over and details with potential for improvement were
reconsidered. Nevertheless AS decided to announce her, and publicly refer
to her as ASG 29(E). This has two reasons:
The whole glider has been searched for aspects worth improving. And it
prevents confusion: a 29 with 15m tips and a 27 can clearly be
distinguished with the denomination.

On the other hand, we decided to bring this model on the same type
certificate as the ASW 27, to not further increase the number of type
certificates hold by AS. There has to be a reference from the designation
to the type certificate, thus the denomination when referring to
authorities is ‘ASW 27-18’.

And just to be clear, the Maintenance Manual figure 6.2.1 also gives the
required slope as 1000:52.
