PacAero Report APR-80, "Allison Prop-Jet Convair Equipment List", contains a list of all required equipment, including an FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual, that must be installed for both the "580" and the "580A" configuration as well as optional equipment installations approved by the FAA.
Note 1. A current weight and balance report, including a list of equipment included in the certificated weight empty and, when necessary, loading instructions, must be in each airplane at the time of return to service after modification and at all times thereafter except in the case of operators having an approved weight control system.
The certificated empty weight and corresponding center of gravity locations must include the following:

Note 3. Deleted.
Note 4. Airplanes modified in accordance with Pacific Airmotive Corp. Drawing No. 9000057 are approved for a takeoff weight of 58,156 Ibs. when operated in accordance with the Allison Prop-Jet Convair 340/440 FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual Supplement dated July 17, 1967. Installation of 2,908 gallon fuel capacity is required for operation at this higher weight.
Note. 5. (a) Aviation gasoline, MIL-G-5572 Grade 115/145 or lower, is approved for limited emergency use. The use of Grade 80/87 (now Grade 80) gasoline is limited to the amount required to operated the engine for 1,000 hours during any overhaul period. The use of grades higher than 80/87 is limited to the amount required to operate the engine for 100 hours during any overhaul period. The average fuel consumption rate may be used to convert the allowable engine operating time to an equivalent gallonage to facilitate record keeping. Gasoline containing tricresyl phosphate, boron, or similar additives shall not be
(b) All approved fuels may be used separately or mixed in any proportion without adversely affecting engine operation or power output. No fuel control adjustment or system purging is required when switching fuel types.
(c) Anti-icing additives conforming to MIL-F-27686 may be used in fuels in amounts not to exceed 0.15% by volume.
(d) Shell ASA-3 antistatic additive may be used in a concentration providing no more that 300 conductivity units, which is equivalent to one p.p.m.
United States of America Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Supplemental Type Certificate (Continuation Sheet) Number: SA4-1100 Date Amended: January 20, 1988
(e) Biocidal fuel additive, Biobor JF, may be used periodically in concentrations that do not exceed 270 p.p.m. Use of fuel with this additive is limited to one fueling within each engine inspection period specified in 501-D13 or 501-D22 Engine Maintenance Manual.
Note 6. The augmentation fluid used in 501-D13H engines must be a water/methanol solution consisting of 67 + 5% purified water, Allison Specification EMS-120 or equivalent, and 33 + 5% methyl alcohol, Allison Specification EMS-125 or equivalent. The flow rate is 8 gal. per minute per engine at a pressure of 140 to 200 p.s.i.g. This permits operation a rated takeoff power with ambient temperatures above standard conditions provided other limits are not exceeded.

Note 8. Airplanes modified in accordance with Pacific Airmotive Corp. Drawing No. 9036040 are approved for operation with Hytrol Mark 1E Anti-Skid Brake System in accordance with the Allison Prop-Jet Convair 340/440 approved Airplane Flight Manual as revised April 24, 1967.
Note 9. Airplane modified in accordance with Pacific Airmotive Corp. Drawing No. 9000546 or Allison Prop-Jet Convair Bulletin 11-1 are approved for a maximum takeoff weight of 54,600 Ibs. and a maximum landing weight of 52,000 Ibs. when operated in accordance with the Allison Prop-Jet Convair 340/440 FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual Revision dated July 17, 1967.
Note 10. Airplanes modified in accordance with Pacific Airmotive Corp.
