However, compliance for this change will be with the latest requirements of CS23 amendment 4 unless stated otherwise. 3.0 COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS CS23.25 Weight Limits: (a) Maximum weight. The maximum weight is the highest weight at which compliance with each applicable requirement of CS-23 (other than those complied with at the design landing weight) is shown. The maximum weight must be established The weight of the XCAM and associated equipment is within the provisioned weight limitation of the aircraft. See section 7. CS23.29 Empty Weight and Corresponding Centre of Gravity: (a) The empty weight and corresponding centre of gravity must be determined by weighing the aeroplane with – (1) Fixed ballast; (2) Unusable fuel determined under CS 23.959; and (3) Full operating fluids, including – (i) Oil; (ii) Hydraulic fluid; and (iii) Other fluids required for normal operation of aeroplane systems, except potable water, lavatory precharge water, and water intended for injection in the engines. (b) The condition of the aeroplane at the time of determining empty weight must be one that is well defined and can be easily repeated. The weight of the XCAM is within the provisioned weight limitation of the aircraft. See section 7. CS23.45 Performance General: (a) Unless otherwise prescribed, the performance requirements of this subpart must be met for – (1) Still air and standard atmosphere; (2) Ambient atmospheric conditions, for commuter category aeroplanes, for reciprocating engine- powered aeroplanes of more than 2 722 kg (6 000 lb) maximum weight and for turbine engine- powered aeroplanes. (b) Performance data must be determined over not less than the following ranges of conditions – (1) Aerodrome altitude from sea-level to 3048 m (10 000 ft); J & C Engineering Services Ltd ENGINEERING REPORT Report No. Issue JC/ER/4584 1.5 Sheet 4 of 30 JC/DOC/325 ISSUE 1.4 and (2) For reciprocating engine-powered aeroplanes of 2 722 kg (6 000 lb) or less maximum weight, temperatures from standard to 30°C above standard (c) Performance data must be determined with the cowl flaps or other means for controlling the engine cooling air supply in the position used in the cooling tests required by CS 23.1041 to 23.1047. (d) The available propulsive thrust must correspond to engine power, not exceeding the approved power, less – (1) Installation losses; and (2) The power absorbed by the accessories and services appropriate to the particular ambient atmospheric conditions and the particular flight condition. (e) The performance as affected by engine power must be based on a relative humidity of – (1) 80% at and below standard temperature; and (2) 34% at and above standard temperature plus 28°C (plus 50°F). Between the two temperatures listed in subparagraphs (e) (1) and (e) (2) the relative humidity must vary linearly. (h) For commuter category aeroplanes, the following also apply: (1) Unless otherwise prescribed, the take-off, en-route, approach and landing configurations for the aeroplane must be selected; (2) The aeroplane configuration may vary with weight, altitude and temperature, to the extent that they are compatible with the operating procedures required by sub-paragraph (h) (3); (3) Unless otherwise prescribed, in determining the critical-engine-inoperative take-off performance, take-off flight path and accelerate-stop distance, changes in the aeroplane’s configuration, speed and power must be made in accordance with procedures established by the applicant for operation in service. (4) Procedures for the execution of discontinued approaches and balked landings associated with the conditions prescribed in CS 23.67 (c) (4) and 23.77 (c) must be established; and (5) The procedures established under sub-paragraphs (h) (3) and (h) (4) must – (i) Be able to be consistently executed by a crew of average skill in atmospheric conditions reasonably expected to be encountered in service; (ii) Use methods or devices that are safe and reliable; and (iii) Include allowances for any reasonably expected time delays in the execution of the procedures. The delta change in performance of the aircraft has been assessed in JC/TR/54. The effect of the pod has been assessed as negligible and has a similar drag to a GOPRO. An AFMS has been raised JC/FMS/4584 to define its installation and operational limitations. See JC/TR/54 and JC/FMS/4584 as defined in section 11. CS23.49 Stalling Speed: (a) VSO and VS1 are the stalling speeds or the minimum steady flight speed (CAS) at which the aeroplane is controllable with – (1) For reciprocating engine- powered aeroplanes, engine(s) idling, the throttle(s) closed or at not more than the power necessary for zero thrust at a speed not more than 110% of the stalling speed; and (2) For turbine engine-powered aeroplanes, the propulsive thrust may not be greater than zero at the stalling speed, or, if the resultant thrust has no appreciable effect on the stalling speed, with engine(s) idling and throttle(s) closed; (3) Propeller(s) in the take-off position; (4) The aeroplane in the condition existing in the test in which VSO and VS1 are being used; (5) Centre of gravity in the position which results in the highest value of VSO and VS1; and (6) Weight used when VSO or VS1 are being used as a factor to determine compliance with a required performance standard.

(5) With power off, landing gear and flaps extended and the aeroplane as nearly as possible in trim at VREF, obtain and maintain airspeeds between 1·1 VS0 and either 1·7 VS0 or VFE, whichever is lower, without requiring the application of two-handed control forces exceeding those specified in CS 23.143 (c). (6) With maximum take-off power, landing gear retracted, flaps in the take-off position and the aeroplane as nearly as possible in trim at VFE appropriate to the take-off flap position, retract the flaps as rapidly as possible while maintaining speed constant.

It must also be shown that the aeroplane’s flight characteristics are not impaired below a level needed to permit continued safe flight and the ability to maintain attitudes suitable for a controlled landing without exceeding the operational and structural limitations of the aeroplane. If a single failure of any one connecting or transmitting link in the lateral control system would also cause the loss of additional control system(s), the above requirement is equally applicable with those additional systems also assumed to be inoperative.

CS23.153 Control During Landings: It must be possible, while in the landing configuration, to safely complete a landing without exceeding the one-hand control force limits specified in CS 23.143 (c) following an approach to land – (a) At a speed of VREF –9.3 km/h (5 knots); (b) With the aeroplane in trim, or as nearly as possible in trim and without the trimming control being moved throughout the manoeuvre; (c) At an approach gradient equal to the steepest used in the landing distance demonstration of CS 23.75; (d) With only those power changes, if any, which would be made when landing normally from an approach at VREF. The delta change in performance of the aircraft has been assessed in JC/TR/54. An AFMS has been raised JC/FMS/4584 to define its installation and operational limitations. The installation of the XCAM has a negligible impact on control during landings. See JC/TR/54 and JC/FMS/4584 as defined in section 11. CS23.157 Rate of Roll: a) Take–off. It must be possible, using a favourable combination of controls, to roll the aeroplane from a steady 30° banked turn through an angle of 60°, so as to reverse the direction of the turn within – (1) For an aeroplane of 2 722 kg (6 000 lb) or less maximum weight, 5 seconds from initiation of roll; and (2) For aeroplanes of over 2 722 kg (6 000 lb) maximum weight, but not more than 10 seconds, where W is the weight in kg, but not more than 10 seconds, where W is the weight in lb.)

The delta change in performance of the aircraft has been assessed in JC/TR/54. An AFMS has been raised JC/FMS/4584 to define its installation and operational limitations. The installation of the XCAM has a negligible impact on rate of roll. See JC/TR/54 and JC/FMS/4584 as defined in section 11. CS23.161 Trim: (a) General. Each aeroplane must meet the trim requirements after being trimmed and without further pressure upon, or movement of, the primary controls or their corresponding trim controls by the pilot or the automatic pilot. In addition, it must be possible, in other conditions of loading, configuration, speed and power to ensure that the pilot will not be unduly fatigued or distracted by the need to apply residual control forces exceeding those for prolonged application of CS 23.143 (c). This applies in normal operation of the aeroplane and, if applicable, to those conditions associated with the failure of one engine for which performance characteristics are established. (b) Lateral and directional trim. The aeroplane must maintain lateral and directional trim in level flight with the landing gear and wing flaps retracted as follows: (1) For normal, utility and aerobatic category aeroplanes, at a speed of 0·9 VH, VC or VMO/MMO, whichever is lowest; and(2) For commuter category aeroplanes, at all speeds from 1·4 VSI to the lesser of VH or VMO/MMO. (c) Longitudinal trim. The aeroplane must maintain longitudinal trim under each of the following conditions: (1) A climb with; (i) Take-off power, landing gear retracted, wing flaps in the take-off position(s), at the speeds used in determining the climb performance required by CS 23.65; and (ii) Maximum continuous power at the speeds and in the configuration used in determining the climb performance required by CS 23.69 (a). (2) Level flight at all speeds from the lesser of VH and either VNO or VMO/MMO (as appropriate), to 1·4 VS1, with the landing gear and flaps retracted. (3) A descent at VNO or VMO/MMO, whichever is applicable, with power off and with the landing gear and flaps retracted. (4) Approach with landing gear extended and with – (i) A 3° angle of descent, with flaps retracted and at a speed of 1·4 VS1; (ii) A 3° angle of descent, flaps in the landing position(s) at VREF; and (iii) An approach gradient equal to the steepest used in the landing distance demonstrations of CS 23.75, flaps in the landing position(s) at VREF. (d) In addition, each twin-engined aeroplane must maintain longitudinal and directional trim and the lateral control force must not exceed 22 N (5 lbf), at the speed used in complying with CS 23.67 (a) or (b) (2) or (c) (3) as appropriate, with – (1) The critical engine in-operative and its propeller in the minimum drag position; (2) The remaining engine at maximum continuous power; (3) The landing gear retracted; (4) The wing flaps retracted; and (5) An angle of bank of not more than 5°. (e) In addition, each commuter category aeroplane for which, in the determination of the take-off path in accordance with CS 23.57, the climb in the take-off configuration at V2 extends beyond 122 m (400 ft) above the take-off surface, it must be possible to reduce the longitudinal and lateral control forces to 44·5 N (10 lbf) and 22 N (5 lbf) respectively and the directional control force must not exceed 222 N (50 lbf) at V2 with – (1) The critical engine inoperative and its propeller in the minimum drag position; (2) The remaining engine at take-off power; (3) Landing gear retracted; (4) Wing flaps in the take- off position(s); and (5) An angle of bank not exceeding 5°.

See JC/TR/54 and JC/FMS/4584 as defined in section 11. CS23.177 Static Directional and Lateral Stability: (a) The static directional stability, as shown by the tendency to recover from a wings level sideslip with the rudder free, must be positive for any landing gear and flap position appropriate to the take-off, climb, cruise, approach and landing configurations. This must be shown with symmetrical power up to maximum continuous power and at speeds from 1·2 VS1 up to maximum allowable speed for the condition being investigated. The angle of sideslip for these tests must be appropriate to the type of aeroplane. At larger angles of sideslip up to that at which full rudder is used or a control force limit in CS 23.143 is reached, whichever occurs first, and at speeds from 1·2 VS1 to Vo the rudder pedal force must not reverse. (b) The static lateral stability, as shown by the tendency to raise the low wing in a sideslip, must be positive for all landing gear and flap positions. This must be shown with symmetrical power up to 75% of maximum continuous power at speeds above 1·2 VS1 in the take-off configuration(s) and at speeds above 1·3 VS1 in other configurations, up to the maximum allowable speed for the configuration being investigated, in the take-off, climb, cruise and approach configurations. For the landing configuration, the power must be up to that necessary to maintain a 3° angle of descent in coordinated flight. The static lateral stability must not be negative at 1·2 VS1 in the take-off configuration, or at 1·3 VS1 in other configurations. The angle of sideslip for these tests must be appropriate to the type of aeroplane but in no case may the constant heading sideslip angle be less than that obtainable with 10° bank, or if less, the maximum bank angle obtainable with full rudder deflection or 667 N (150 lbf) rudder force.(c) Sub-paragraph (b) does not apply to aerobatic category aeroplanes certificated for inverted flight. (d) In straight, steady sideslips at 1·2 VS1 for any landing gear and flap positions and for any symmetrical power conditions up to 50% of maximum continuous power, the aileron and rudder control movements and forces must increase steadily (but not necessarily in constant proportion) as the angle of sideslip is increased up to the maximum appropriate to the type of aeroplane. At larger sideslip angles up to the angle at which full rudder or aileron control is used or a control force limit contained in CS 23.143 is reached, the aileron and rudder control movements and forces must not reverse as the angle of sideslip is increased. Rapid entry into, or recovery from, a maximum sideslip considered appropriate for the aeroplane must not result in uncontrollable flight characteristics. The delta change in performance of the aircraft has been assessed in JC/TR/54. An AFMS has been raised JC/FMS/4584 to define its installation and operational limitations. The installation of the XCAM has a negligible impact on directional and lateral stability. See JC/TR/54 and JC/FMS/4584 as defined in section 11. CS23.181 Dynamic Stability: (a) Any short period oscillation not including combined lateral- directional oscillations occurring between the stalling speed and the maximum allowable speed appropriate to the configuration of the aeroplane must be heavily damped with the primary controls – (1) Free; and (2) In a fixed position, except when compliance with CS 23.672 is shown. (b) Any combined lateral–directional oscillations (“Dutch roll”) occurring between the stalling speed and the maximum allowable speed appropriate to the configuration of the aeroplane must be damped to XXX amplitude in 7 cycles with the primary controls – (1) Free; and (2) In a fixed position, except when compliance with CS 23.672 is shown. (c) Any long-period oscillation of the flight path (phugoid) must not be so unstable as to cause an unacceptable increase in pilot workload or otherwise endanger the aeroplane. When, in the conditions of CS 23.175, the longitudinal control force required to maintain speeds differing from the trimmed speed by at least plus or minus 15% is suddenly released, the response of the aeroplane must not exhibit any dangerous characteristics nor be excessive in relation to the magnitude of the control force released.

See JC/TR/54 and JC/FMS/4584 as defined in section 11. CS23.201 Wing Level Stall: (a) It must be possible to produce and to correct roll by unreversed use of the rolling control and to produce and to correct yaw by unreversed use of the directional control, up to the time the aeroplane stalls. (b) The wings level stall characteristics must be demonstrated in flight as follows. Starting from a speed at least 18.5 km/h (10 knots) above the stall speed, the elevator control must be pulled back so that the rate of speed reduction will not exceed 1.9 km/h (one knot) per second until a stall is produced, as shown by either – (1) An uncontrollable downward pitching motion of the aeroplane; or (2) A downward pitching motion of the aeroplane which results from the activation of a device (e.g. stick pusher); or (3) The control reaching the stop. (c) Normal use of elevator control for recovery is allowed after the downward pitching motion of (b) (1) or (b) (2) has unmistakably been produced, or after the control has been held against the stop for not less than the longer of 2 seconds or the time employed in the minimum steady flight speed determination of CS 23.49. (d) During the entry into and the recovery from the manoeuvre, it must be possible to prevent more than 15° of roll or yaw by the normal use of controls. (e) Compliance with the requirements must be shown under the following conditions: (1) Wing flaps. Retracted, fully extended and each intermediate normal operating position; (2) Landing gear. Retracted and extended; (3) Cowl flaps. Appropriate to configuration; (4) Power (i) Power off; and (ii) 75% maximum continuous power. If the power-to-weight ratio at 75% of maximum continuous power results in extreme nose-up attitudes, the test may be carried out with the power required for level flight in the landing configuration at maximum landing weight and a speed of 1·4 VS0, but the power may not be less than 50% maximum continuous power. (5) Trim. The aeroplane trimmed at a speed as near 1·5 VS1 as practicable. (6) Propeller. Full increase rpm position for the power off condition. The delta change in performance of the aircraft has been assessed in JC/TR/54. An AFMS has been raised JC/FMS/4584 to define its installation and operational limitations. The installation of the XCAM has a negligible impact on wing level stall. See JC/TR/54 and JC/FMS/4584 as defined in section 11. CS23.203 Turning Flight and Accelerated Turning Stalls: Turning flight and accelerated turning stalls must be demonstrated in tests as follows: (a) Establish and maintain a co- ordinated turn in a 30° bank. Reduce speed by steadily and progressively tightening the turn with the elevator until the aeroplane is stalled, as defined in CS 23.201 (b). The rate of speed reduction must be constant, and – (1) For a turning flight stall, may not exceed 1.9 km/h (one knot) per second; and (2) For an accelerated turning stall, be 5.6 to 9.3 km/h (3 to 5 knots) per second with steadily increasing normal acceleration. (b) After the aeroplane has stalled, as defined in CS 23.201 (b) it must be possible to regain level flight by normal use of the flight controls but without increasing power and without – (1) Excessive loss of altitude; (2) Undue pitch-up; (3) Uncontrollable tendency to spin; (4) Exceeding a bank angle of 60° in the original direction of the turn or 30° in the opposite direction, in the case of turning flight stalls; (5) Exceeding a bank angle of 90° in the original direction of the turn or 60° in the opposite direction, in the case of accelerated turning stalls; and (6) Exceeding the maximum permissible speed or allowable limit load factor. (c) Compliance with the requirements must be shown under the following conditions: (1) Wing flaps. Retracted, fully extended and each intermediate normal operating position; (2) Landing gear. Retracted and extended; (3) Cowl flaps. Appropriate to configuration; (4) Power (i) Power off; and (ii) 75% maximum continuous power. If the power-to-weight ratio at 75% of maximum continuous power results in extreme nose-up attitudes, the test may be carried out with the power required for level flight in the landing configuration at maximum landing weight and a speed of 1·4 VS0, but the power may J & C Engineering Services Ltd ENGINEERING REPORT Report No. Issue JC/ER/4584 1.5 Sheet 13 of 30 JC/DOC/325 ISSUE 1.4 not be less than 50% maximum continuous power. (5) Trim. The aeroplane trimmed at a speed as near 1·5 VS1 as practicable. (6) Propeller. Full increase rpm position for the power off condition. The delta change in performance of the aircraft has been assessed in JC/TR/54. An AFMS has been raised JC/FMS/4584 to define its installation and operational limitations. The installation of the XCAM has a negligible impact on the turning flight and accelerated turning stalls. See JC/TR/54 and JC/FMS/4584 as defined in section 11. CS23.207 Stall Warning: (a) There must be a clear and distinctive stall warning, with the flaps and landing gear in any normal position, in straight and turning flight. (b) The stall warning may be furnished either through the inherent aerodynamic qualities of the aeroplane or by a device that will give clearly distinguishable indications under expected conditions of flight. However, a visual stall warning device that requires the attention of the crew within the cockpit is not acceptable by itself. (c) During the stall tests required by CS 23.201 (b) and CS 23.203 (a) (1), the stall warning must begin at a speed exceeding the stalling speed by a margin of not less than 9.3 km/h (5 knots) and must continue until the stall occurs. (d) When following the procedures of CS 23.1585, the stall warning must not occur during a take-off with all engines operating, a take-off continued with one engine inoperative or during an approach to landing. (e) During the stall tests required by CS 23.203 (a) (2), the stall warning must begin sufficiently in advance of the stall for the stall to be averted by pilot action taken after the stall warning first occurs. (f) For aerobatic category aeroplanes, an artificial stall warning may be mutable, provided that it is armed automatically during take-off and re-armed automatically in the approach configuration. The delta change in performance of the aircraft has been assessed in JC/TR/54. An AFMS has been raised JC/FMS/4584 to define its installation and operational limitations. The installation of the XCAM has a negligible impact on the stall warning. See JC/TR/54 and JC/FMS/4584 as defined in section 11.See JC/TR/54 and JC/FMS/4584 as defined in section 11. CS23.251 Vibration and Buffeting: There must be no vibration or buffeting severe enough to result in structural damage and each part of the aeroplane must be free from excessive vibration, under any appropriate speed and power conditions up to at least the minimum value of VD allowed in CS 23.335. In addition there must be no buffeting in any normal flight condition severe enough to interfere with the satisfactory control of the aeroplane or cause excessive fatigue to the flight crew. Stall warning buffeting within these limits is allowable. The delta change in performance of the aircraft has been assessed in JC/TR/54. An AFMS has been raised JC/FMS/4584 to define its installation and operational limitations. An advisory post installation confirmatory flight has been defined in the EO to ensure no vibration or buffeting is present prior to release to the operator. See JC/TR/54, JC/EO/4584-1 and JC/FMS/4584 as defined in section 11. CS23.301 Loads: (a) Strength requirements are specified in terms of limit loads (the maximum loads to be expected in service) and ultimate loads (limit loads multiplied by prescribed factors of safety). Unless otherwise provided, prescribed loads are limit loads. Not affected by this change. The XCAM is attached to the port or starboard Lift Strut via a clamping arrangement. The additional induced aerodynamic and inertia loads are considered small and have been assessed in JC/TR/54. See ECN(s)/Drawing(s) and JC/TR/54 as defined in section 11.

Not affected by this change. The XCAM is attached to the port or starboard Lift Strut via a clamping arrangement. The additional induced aerodynamic and inertia loads are considered small and have been assessed in JC/TR/54. The factor of safety of 1.5 is not affected. See ECN(s)/Drawing(s) and JC/TR/54 as defined in section 11. CS25.305 Strength and Deformation: (a) The structure must be able to support limit loads without detrimental, permanent deformation. At any load up to limit loads, the deformation may not interfere with safe operation. (b) The structure must be able to support ultimate loads without failure for at least three seconds, except local failures or structural instabilities between limit and ultimate load are acceptable only if the structure can sustain the required ultimate load for at least three seconds.

See JC/FMS/4584 as defined in section 11. CS 23.1505 Airspeed Limitations: (a) The never-exceed speed VNE must be established so that it is – (1) Not less than 0·9 times the minimum value of VD allowed under CS 23.335; and (2) Not more than the lesser of – (i) 0·9 VD established under CS 23.335; or (ii) 0·9 times the maximum speed shown under CS 23.251. (b) The maximum structural cruising speed VNO must be established so that it is – (1) Not less than the minimum value of VC allowed under CS 23.335; and (2) Not more than the lesser of – (i) VC established under CS 23.335; or (ii) 0·89 VNE established under sub-paragraph (a) . (c) Sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply to turbine aeroplanes or to aeroplanes for which a design diving speed VD/MD is established J & C Engineering Services Ltd ENGINEERING REPORT Report No. Issue JC/ER/4584 1.5 Sheet 23 of 30 JC/DOC/325 ISSUE 1.4 under CS 23.335 (b) (4). For those aeroplanes, a maximum operating limit speed (VMO/MMO airspeed or Mach number, whichever is critical at a particular altitude) must be established as a speed that may not be deliberately exceeded in any regime of flight (climb, cruise, or descent) unless a higher speed is authorised for flight test or pilot training operations. VMO/MMO must be established so that it is not greater than the design cruising speed VC/MC and so that it is sufficiently below VD/MD and the maximum speed shown under CS 23.251 to make it highly improbable that the latter speeds will be inadvertently exceeded in operations. The speed margin between VMO/MMOand VD/MD or the maximum speed shown under CS 23.251 may not be less than the speed margin established between VC/MC and VD/MD under CS 23.335(b), or the speed margin found necessary in the flight tests conducted under CS 23.253. Not affected by this change. See JC/FMS/4584 as defined in section 11. CS 23.1507 Manoeuvring Speed: The maximum operating manoeuvring speed, VO, must be established as an operating limitation. VO is a selected speed that is not greater than VS √n established in CS 23.335(c). Not affected by this change. See JC/FMS/4584 as defined in section 11. CS23.1519 Weight and Centre of Gravity: The weight and centre of gravity ranges determined under CS 23.23 must be established as operating limitations. There is a change to the weight and balance by the introduction of XCAM pod. See section 7.0. CS23.1529 Instructions for Continued Airworthiness: Instructions for continued airworthiness in accordance with Appendix G must be prepared. The installation is to be inspected IAW operator’s and manufacturers requirements as defined in the AMM/CMM and SRM. Co-ordination of these matters is the responsibility of the operator. See section 10. CS 23.1541 Markings and Placards General: (a) The aeroplane must contain – (1) The markings and placards specified in CS 23.1545 to 23.1567; and (2) Any additional information, instrument markings and placards required for the safe operation if it has unusual design, operating, or handling characteristics. (b) Each marking and placard prescribed in sub-paragraph (a) – (1) Must be displayed in a conspicuous place; and (2) May not be easily erased, disfigured or obscured. (c) For aeroplanes which are to be certificated in more than one category – (1) One category upon which the placards and markings are to be based must be selected for the aeroplane; and (2) The placards and marking information for all categories in which the aeroplane is to be certificated must be furnished in the Aeroplane Flight Manual. Not affected by this change. See ECN(s)/Drawing(s) and JC/FMS/4584 as defined in section 11. CS 23.1581 Aeroplane Flight Manual General: (a) An Aeroplane Flight Manual must be submitted to the Agency and it must contain the following: (1) Information required by CS 23.1583 to 23.1589. (2) Other information that is necessary for safe operation because of design, operating or handling characteristics. (3) Further information necessary to comply with the relevant operating rules. (b) Approved information (1) Except as provided in sub-paragraph (b)(2), each part of the Aeroplane Flight Manual containing information prescribed in CS 23.1583 to 23.1589 must be approved, segregated, identified and clearly distinguished from each unapproved part of that Aeroplane Flight Manual. (2) The requirements of sub-paragraph (b) (1) J & C Engineering Services Ltd ENGINEERING REPORT Report No. Issue JC/ER/4584 1.5 Sheet 24 of 30 JC/DOC/325 ISSUE 1.4 do not apply to reciprocating engine powered aeroplanes of 2 722 kg (6 000 lb) or less maximum weight, if the following is met: (i) Each part of the Aeroplane Flight Manual containing information prescribed in CS 23.1583 must be limited to such information and must be approved, identified and clearly distinguished from each other part of the Aeroplane Flight Manual. (ii) The information prescribed in CS 23.1585 to 23.1589 must be determined in accordance with the applicable requirements of CS-23 and presented in its entirety in a manner acceptable to the Agency. (c) The units used in the Aeroplane Flight Manual must be the same as those marked on the appropriate instruments and placards. (d) All Aeroplane Flight Manual operational airspeeds must, unless otherwise specified, be presented as indicated Airspeeds. (e) Provisions must be made for stowing the Aeroplane Flight Manual in a suitable fixed container which is readily accessible to the pilot. (f) Revisions and/or Amendments.
