1.1 Introduction
This Flight Manual has been compiled in order to give pilots and
instructors all the information they need for operating the ASK 21 Mi
safely and appropriately.
The manual includes all data required to be available to the pilot as laid
down in the Design Standards JAR-22, Amendment 6. In addition, we
have provided a number of data and notes on operation which, our ex-
perience as manufacturers suggests, may be of use to the pilot.
1.2 Type Certification Basis
This powered sailplane of type designation ASK 21 Mi was type ap-
proved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in compliance
with Joint Airworthiness Requirements for Sailplanes and Powered
Sailplanes JAR-22 issue March 15, 1982, amendment date Aug.1, 2001
(Amendment 6 of the English Original).
The Type Approval Certificate has been issued with No. EASA.A.221
under Airworthiness Category "U". U stands for Utility and refers to
sailplanes and powered sailplanes used in normal gliding activities.
The noise emission measurements were carried out in accordance with
ICAO, Annex 16, Volume I, Chapter 10 (corresponds the currently valid
German requirements Lärmschutzverordnung für Luftfahrzeuge [LVL],
date Aug. 1, 2004, published in NfL II 70/04). The measurements
established a noise level of 66.5 dB(A).

1.4 Description and Technical Data
The ASK 21 Mi is a shoulder wing glider with damped T-tail and sprung
landing gear with hydraulic disc brake, and a nose wheel.
The wing is equipped with air brakes on the top surface.
The aircraft is built in FRP-sandwich-monocoque construction. The fu-
selage is partly reinforced with CFRP and SFRP.
The power-plant of this self-launching sailplane, with its electrically ex-
tendable propeller tower, is fitted in the fuselage behind the wing. To-
gether with the rigid twin-bladed propeller the power-plant obtains a
good performance and provides excellent rates of climb even at maxi-
mum all-up weight.
