I'm curious how it applies to the 3,000 hour service life extension for say a Schleicher ASW-15 sailplane.


I have the same question about a DG-200. Is a service life extension required in the US?

The Lark was life limited. It did not have a provision for service life extension. The FAA provided a way to extend life by condition, as I recall.
The other manufacturers do have that provision so owners have to comply with the inspection specified to ensure continued airworthiness.

For accuracy, as opposed to my recollection with respect to the Lark see:
