Serial Nos. eligible The United Kingdom Certificate of Airworthiness for export endorsed as noted under "Certification basis" must be submitted for each individual aircraft for which application for certification is made. Certification basis CAR 10. Type Certificate No. 7A9 issued December 2, 1960. Date of Application for Type Certificate November 20, 1956. Each aircraft and any replacement parts manufactured in the U.K. must be designated as "import" and clearly labeled as such in accordance with CAR 10.30. A U.S. Airworthiness Certificate may be issued on basis of a U.K. Certificate of Airworthiness for Export signed by a representative of the Ministry of Aviation containing the following notation: "The aeroplane covered by this certificate has been examined and found to comply with British Civil Airworthiness Requirements (1956) and the Special Requirements for Argosy notified by the U.S.A. Government to the Government of the U.K. and conforms to TC 7A9." (This certification equivalent to CAR.4b effective December 31, 1953, plus Amendments 4b-1 thru 4b-10 inclusive and SR-422B dated July 9, 1959). Compliance with the ditching requirements has been demonstrated. Compliance with ice protection requirements has been demonstrated. Equipment The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the aircraft for certification. Approved equipment is shown in Armstrong Whitworth Schedule of Equipment TP.30. The following additional equipment is required: (a) Stall Warning Indicator, SafeFlite Part Nos. C.72907, C.72902 and C.72906/2. Service Information Service bulletins, structural repair manuals, vendor manuals, aircraft flight manuals, and overhaul and maintenance manuals, which contain a statement that the document is CAA approved, or CAA approved through the Manufacturers CAA Approval Ref. DAI/1103/38, or DAI/1011/55 on or after March 1, 1990, are accepted by the FAA and are considered FAA approved. These approvals pertain to the type design only. NOTE 1. (a) Current weight and balance report, including list of equipment included in the certificated empty weight, and loading instructions when necessary, must be in each aircraft at the time of original certification and at all times thereafter (except in the case of operators having an approved weight control system). (b) "Unusable Fuel and System Oil" and all hydraulic fluid must be included in the certificated empty weight. Unusable fuel is that quantity of fuel in the system and in the tanks which is unavailable to the engine under critical flight conditions as defined in CAR 4B.416. This unusable fuel includes "system fuel" which is defined as the quantity required to fill the system and tanks to the tank outlet level when the airplane is in the ground level attitude. The fuel gauges are calibrated with the unusable fuel level as the zero datum. The total amount of fuel is as follows: Usable fuel Unusable fuel @ 6.75 lb./gal. @ 6.75 lb./gal. 3939 U.S. gal. 30 U.S. gal. System Oil is that amount of oil required to fill the oil systems and tanks which is not available for normal engine lubrication. The propeller feathering oil is not considered usable oil and is included in "System Oil:. System oil weight is 65 lb. The oil tank capacity shown in this data sheet is the total oil for which the tanks are placarded. Dipstick readings indicate the amount of oil required to fill the tank. 7A9 Page 4 of 4 NOTE 2. Refer to the "List of Fatigue and/or Th row Away Lives of Components or Assemblies", in the Argosy 650, Series 100 Maintenance Schedule, Publication No. T.P. 18, Revision No. 44 dated December 1969 or a later ARB-approved issue fo r the retirement lives of the airplane parts which are critical from the fatigue standpoint. Th ese values of retirement or service life cannot be increased without FAA Engineering approval. NOTE 3. All aircraft must be maintained and repair ed in accordance with the Air Registration Board approved Maintenance and Structural Repair Manuals. NOTE 4. Ferry permits may be issued to Argosy Type AW650 aircraft on which one engi ne is inoperative, with its propeller removed or feathered under the following conditions: Operation of aircraft shall be in accordance w ith pertinent limitations contained in the applicable portion of the approved Airplane Flight manua l, pertinent appendices and existing instructions. NOTE 5. Aircraft without the emergency exit in the r oof of the rear fuselage (modification No. 13ANB) are eligible for cargo operations only and a maximum crew of five. NOTE 6. A FAA Certificate of Airworthiness is not to be issued until compliance is found to SFAR 88. ....END.... ``` ## ADs (9, in force first) - [AD 85-12-09](https://openairdocs.org/ad/85-12-09): Tailboom Frame · British Aerospace Argosy AW.650 Series 101.
