     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 826]]

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.
