NOTE 1

(a) Current weight and balance report and loading instructions must be in each aircraft at the t time of original certification and at all times thereafter.

System fuel must be included in the empty weight of the airplane. System fuel is defined as the fuel required to fill the fuel system up to the fuel tank outlet plus the fuel tank unusable fuel quantity. Full oil tank and full hydraulic tank fluids must also be included in the empty weight of the airplane.

The unusable fuel" is that amount of fuel in the tanks which is unavailable to the engine under critical flight conditions as defined in FAR 25.959 and may be obtained by taking the difference between the total fuel capacities and "usable" tank capacities shown in this specification. The "unusable fuel" must be included in the empty weight or be suitably accounted for in the airplane weight and balance report.

(d) The engines utilize fuel from the center wing main (forward) tanks only.
