NOTE: These specifications are intended only as a guideline for determining whether a given
glider is a certified model and whether it is in the certified configuration.
Be aware, however, that no set of specifications, however detailed, can guarantee the ability
to determine whether a glider is the same model, or is in the same configuration as was
