Uli,
go to http://www.faa.gov
in the search bar type in (TCDS)
From there click on the link on the left side current model/By
Make
Click on the letter at the top of the manufacturer name. It will
give
alphabetical order.
If it is not listed then it could be under a different type certificate.
Check back here if you have a specific manufacturer not listed.
Best of Luck, Doug


Sorry for the repeat info.

Interesting - I could not find either AB Sportine Aviacija or LAK in the
TCDS database. Is that because my glider is Experimental?

I think the cause and effect are the other way around, but, yeah.
