DATA PERTINENT TO ALL MODELS
Datum 60 in. forward of fuselage station 0. (Sta. 0 is at upper attachment of engine
mount to fuselage). For weight and balance purposes, Station 100.25 is the
centerline of wing spar (midway between two rows of bolts in wing root
fitting on bottom side of wing).
L
eveling Means Model H-391: Plumb line markers at top and bottom of right door
frame (fuselage station 60).
Models H-250, H-295, H-391B, H-395A, H-700, H-800: Two leveling
studs at lower forward corner of right door frame.
Ce
rtification Basis Part 3 of the Civil Air Regulations effective November 1, 1949, as amended
to May 16, 1953. Type Certificate No. 1A8 issued August 5, 1953. Application
for Type Certificate dated May 1, 1951.
P
roduction Basis None. Prior to original certification, an FAA representative must perform a detailed
inspection for workmanship, materials, and conformity with the approved technical data,
a final inspection of the completed aircraft, and a check of the flight characteristics.
E
quipment The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness
regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the aircraft for
certification. The equipment portion of Aircraft Specification 1A8, Revision 18,
dated July 7, 1969, or the equipment list provided with each airplane should be
used for equipment references on Helio Models H-391, H-391B, H-395, H-395A,
H-250, and H-295 (prior to serial number 1458). Refer to the applicable
equipment list for Model H-295, serial number 1458 and on, Model H-700,
and Model H-800. In addition, the following FAA approved Airplane Flight
Manuals and Airplane Flight Manual Supplements are required.
(a
) FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual dated February 9, 1956 (H-391B,
S/N 001 through 031); dated November 3, 1956 (H-391B, S/N 032 and up
and for those S/N 001 through 031 modified oer Helio Modification 21).
(b) F
AA Approved Airplane Flight Manual Supplement dated January 24, 1956
(H-391B, H-395, H-395A) required when Federal AWB-3500A main and
AWT-3500 tailwheel skis are installed. Federal Installation drawing 11R1241.
(c
) FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual Supplement dated July 18, 1956
