CS 22.1 Applicability ED Decision 2003/13/RM (a) This Airworthiness Code is applicable to sailplanes and powered sailplanes in the utility U and aerobatic A categories:– (1) sailplanes the maximum weight of which does not exceed 750 kg; (2) single engined (spark- or compression-ignition) powered sailplanes the design value W/b2 (weight to span2) of which is not greater than 3(W[kg], b[m]) and the maximum weight of which does not exceed 850 kg; and (3) sailplanes and powered sailplanes the number of occupants of which does not exceed two. (b) Reserved (c) Those requirements in this CS-22 which apply only to powered sailplanes are marginally annotated with the letter P. Requirements not so marked apply both to sailplanes and to powered sailplanes with engines stopped and engine or propeller retracted where appropriate. In these requirements the word ‘sailplane’ means both ‘sailplane’ and ‘powered sailplane’. (d) Unless specifically stated otherwise, the term ‘powered sailplane’ includes those powered sailplanes which may be incapable of complying with [CS 22.51](#_DxCrossRefBm2056272028) and/or [CS 22.65(a)](#_DxCrossRefBm2056272027) and which must consequently be prohibited from taking off solely by means of their own power by a limitation in the Flight Manual. These are referred to in the text as ‘Self-Sustaining Powered Sailplanes’. For Self-Sustaining Powered Sailplanes the additional requirements in [Appendix I](#_DxCrossRefBm2056272026) are applicable.
