AC 61-89E 8/4/00 Appendix 3 1

OPERATIONAL RESTRICTIONS Applicants for type ratings on aircraft for which a type rating is required under 14 CFR section

61.31, and which are not listed in appendix 2, will be required to present evidence that at least one aircraft of the type concerned has been issued an aircraft type certificate for civilian use.

NOTE: Since experimental aircraft are not issued type certificates, they are not eligible for pilot type ratings.

The following operational restrictions pertaining to type ratings will appear as limitations rather than as a part of the type rating on certificates:

1. Amphibian type ratings, such as CV-PBY5, will be repeated under limitations (Item XIII) with appropriate restrictions; i.e., CV-PBY5 LIMITED TO SEA, unless proficiency has been demonstrated on both land and water.

2. Type ratings restricted to VFR will be repeated under limitations (Item XIII) with appropriate restrictions; i.e., N-B25, VFR ONLY.

Airplane Multiengine Class Rating Limited To Center Thrust Airplane multiengine class ratings are issued based on either the successful completion of an FAA practical test or on military qualification. A class rating issued for an airplane for which no minimum control speed has been established by the manufacturer, shall be limited to center thrust. The aircraft listed below are aircraft which are center thrust limited. A listing of specific makes and models of military aircraft for which a center thrust limitation is not required is also provided.

The FAA General Aviation and Commercial Division, AFS-800, determines any modifications to these lists. When a determination is made by AFS-800, the manufacturer's data and 14 CFR part 23 or part 25 criteria are used.

With Center Thrust Limitation Without Limitation

1. Cessna 336/337, T-37 1. Cessna A-37 Dragonfly

2. Fairchild Republic A-l0 Thunderbolt 2. Grumman American F-14 Tomcat

3. General Dynamics F-111

4. Grumman A6-E Intruder

5. McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom

6. McDonnell-Douglas F-15 Eagle

7. Northrop/McDonnell-Douglas F-18A Hornet

8. Northrop T-38 Talon

9. Rockwell International T2 Buckeye In the case of an applicant who requests the issuance of a multiengine class or type rating based on military qualification in an aircraft not listed herein, but for which the manufacturer has not provided documentary evidence of a minimum control speed for that aircraft, all available data shall be forwarded to AFS-800 for review and evaluation to determine the limitations necessary. It is expected that aircraft models will be added to, or deleted from, this list by AFS-800 as circumstances warrant in the future.
