     Subpart O_Documentation, Operating Limitations and Information

 

Sec. 36.1581  Manuals, markings, and placards.



    (a) If an Airplane Flight Manual or Rotorcraft Flight Manual is 

approved, the approved portion of the Airplane Flight Manual or 

Rotorcraft Flight Manual must contain the following information, in 

addition to that specified under Sec. 36.1583 of this part. If an 

Airplane Flight Manual or Rotorcraft Flight Manual is not approved, the 

procedures and information must be furnished in any combination of 

approved manual material, markings, and placards.

    (1) For transport category large airplanes and jet airplanes, the 

noise level information must be one value for each flyover, lateral, and 

approach as defined and required by appendix B of this part, along with 

the maximum takeoff weight, maximum landing weight, and configuration.

    (2) For propeller driven small airplanes, the noise level 

information must be one value for takeoff as defined and required by 

appendix G of this part, along with the maximum takeoff weight and 

configuration.

    (3) For rotorcraft, the noise level information must be one value 

for each takeoff, flyover, and approach as defined and required by 

appendix H of this part, or one value for flyover as defined and 

required by appendix J of this part, at the maximum takeoff weight and 

configuration.

    (b) If supplemental operational noise level information is included 

in the approved portion of the Airplane Flight Manual, it must be 

segregated, identified as information in addition to the certificated 

noise levels, and clearly distinguished from the information required 

under Sec. 36.1581(a).

    (c) The following statement must be furnished near the listed noise 

levels:



No determination has been made by the Federal Aviation Administration 

that the noise levels of this aircraft are or should be acceptable or 

unacceptable for operation at, into, or out of, any airport.



    (d) For transport category large airplanes and jet airplanes, for 

which the weight used in meeting the takeoff or landing noise 

requirements of this part is less than the maximum weight established 

under the applicable airworthiness requirements, those lesser weights 

must be furnished, as operating limitations in the operating limitations 

section of the Airplane Flight Manual. Further, the maximum takeoff 

weight must not exceed the takeoff weight that is most critical from a 

takeoff noise standpoint.

    (e) For propeller driven small airplanes and for propeller-driven, 

commuter category airplanes for which the weight used in meeting the 

flyover noise requirements of this part is less than the maximum weight 

by an amount exceeding the amount of fuel needed to conduct the test, 

that lesser weight must be furnished, as an operating limitation, in the 

operating limitations section of an approved Airplane Flight Manual, in 

approved manual material, or on an approved placard.

    (f) For primary, normal, transport, and restricted category 

helicopters, if the weight used in meeting the takeoff, flyover, or 

approach noise requirements of appendix H of this part, or the weight 

used in meeting the flyover noise requirement of appendix J of this 

part, is less than the certificated maximum takeoff weight established 

under



[[Page 823]]



either Sec. 27.25(a) or Sec. 29.25(a) of this chapter, that lesser 

weight must be furnished as an operating limitation in the operating 

limitations section of the Rotorcraft Flight Manual, in FAA-approved 

manual material, or on an FAA-approved placard.

    (g) Except as provided in paragraphs (d), (e), and (f) of this 

section, no operating limitations are furnished under this part.
