The aircraft continues to be operated in accordance with the existing Pilot’s Operating Handbook.
OPTION 2: CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE: The vortex generators and nacelle strakes are installed on the aircraft, the airspeed indicator is changed, and an Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement is added to the Pilot’s Operating Handbook to reflect a 5% Take Off Gross Weight increase and reduced Vs, Vso, and Vmca.
When OPTION 2 is chosen by the installer, the aircraft shall be operated in accordance with the applicable Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement (AFMS) shown below, or later FAA-approved revision:
