Part 27 of the Federal Aviation Regulations.

Original ProductType Certificate Number: H3WE Make: MDHI (HUGHES) Model: 369D, 369E, 369FF, 500N, 600N

Description of the Type Design Change: Installation of a Supplemental Lighting System; manufactured and installed in accordance Aviation Specialties Unlimited (ASU) Master Drawing List MDL-500004-3, Revision N, dated October 13, 2015, or later Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved revision, and maintained in accordance with Instructions for Continued Airworthiness ICA-500004-4, Revision E, dated September 1, 2015, or later FAA-accepted revision.

Limitations and Conditions: This supplemental type certificate applies to the models listed above and only to the specific serial numbers listed on the ASU Master Drawing List MDL-500004-3, Revision N, dated October 13, 2015, or later FAA-approved revision. This rotorcraft employs Night Vision Imaging System lighting, commonly named NVIS, that has been certified to ensure the rotorcraft is compatible with Night Vision Goggles (NVG). For this reason, interior and exterior modifications that add or change systems that emit or reflect light have the potential to alter or change the NVIS lighting vs. NVG compatibility. Compatibility of this design with subsequent modifications must be determined by the installer. The determination of compatibility with modifications that emit or reflect light may require a re-evaluation by an FAA Aircraft Certification Office. A copy of this certificate and the FAA-approved Rotorcraft Supplement Flight Manual FMS-500004-6, Revision G, FAA approved October 20, 2015, or later FAA-approved revision, must be maintained as part of the permanent records for the modified rotorcraft.

If the holder agrees to permit another person to use this certificate to alter the product, the holder shall give the other person written evidence of that permission.
