Addendum to Notes, Aircraft Specification No. A-815

NOTE 2. The following placards must be displayed as noted:

(d) At the appropriate fuel tank filler openings:

"Fuel 50, 61, or 102 U.S. Gal. Cap.

JET A, JET A-1, JP-5"

(e) At the Oil tank filler opening:

"Approved oils - DO NOT MIX BRANDS Oil System Capacity 18 qts"

(f) On EPA can door:

"EPA DRAIN and PROPERLY DISPOSE OF"

(g) At the flap position indicator:

"CRUISE" "TAKEOFF"

(h) On the instrument panel in clear view of the pilot:

Landplane:

"WARNING: DO NOT USE REVERSE POWER IN FLIGHT. AT HIGH TAXI SPEEDS

USE REVERSE POWER ONLY IF TAIL WHEEL IS LOCKED AND HELD FIRMLY ON THE GROUND"

Seaplane:

"WARNING: DO NOT USE REVERSE POWER IN FLIGHT"

NOTE 5. Compliance with FAR 36, Appendix F, was shown for the landplane with PT6A-135/-135A engine, with the following procedures:

Level fly over at 1000 ft AGL at 1900 propeller RPM.

The certified noise level is 76.0 dB(A). This noise level reflects correction of “as measured” data to a standard 77°F, 70% R.H. acoustic day as well as a 0.3 dB(A) credit resulting from aircraft takeoff and climb characteristics. The related airplane gross weight is 8000 lb. and the FAR 36 limit is 80.0 dB(A).

No determination has been made by the Federal Aviation Administration that the noise level of this airplane is or should be acceptable or unacceptable for operation at, into, or out of any airport.

NOTE 6. The corrected noise level of this airplane is 84.0 dB determined by flight tests when operated at Maximum Continuous Power (64.5 psi Torque and 2000 RPM). No determination has been made by the Federal Aviation Administration that the noise levels of this airplane are or should be acceptable for operation at, into, or out of any airport.

The above statement notwithstanding, the noise level stated above has been verified by and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration in noise level test flights conducted in accordance with FAR Part 36, Appendix G, Amendment 22, Noise Standards: Airplane Type and Airworthiness Certification. The airplane noise is in compliance with all FAR Part 36 noise standards applicable to this type.

NOTE 7. This STC has been found to be compatible with the combination of the Edo 7850 float installation and the Baron STOL kit installed per STC SA00287NY.

NOTE 8. This STC has been found to be compatible with the installation of the Wipaire Wipline 8000 amphibian or seaplane floats.

NOTE 9. This STC shall not be extended to other float installations without an evaluation of the flight, ground, and water handling characteristics

NOTE 10. This STC is found to be compatible with the combination of new elevator servo-tab and redundant control linkage kit per STC SA01059SE.
