Military models C-53, C-53B, C-53C, C-53D and R4D-3 are the same as model DC3A-S1C3G except for the cabin interior, cargo comp artments and minor structural differences. Model C-53C is the same as models C-53 and R4D-3 except for minor instrument changes. Model C-53D is equipped with a 24 volt electrical s ystem instead of the 12 volt system which is standard on all other models. The remainder of the military models listed under model DC3A-S1C3G were originally built as commercial aircraft but were converted for military use prior to delivery from the factory. Prior to certification as a civil aircraft, the following must be accomplished: (a) Each airplane must satisfactorily pass an insp ection for conformity, possible hidden damage, and for workmanship and materials used in making any repairs and/or alterations. All Airworthiness Directive Notes must be complied with . (b) Instrument markings and placards must be installe d as required by this specification and commercial DC-3 practice. Attention should be given to the winds hield equipment and it should be determined that a satisfactory windshield wiper is installed. (c) The following military equipment should be remove d: Winterization (except oil dilution system and hopper oil tanks), propane priming, glider tow mechanism in the tail cone, litter boxes, litters, and supporting structure. Such brackets and supporting st ructure as will not interfere with the safe operation of the aircraft may, at the operator's discretion, be left in the aircraft as long as the equipment has been rendered inoperative. (d) Each airplane must be weighed to determine its weight and balance and an approved loading chart or device installed. If any changes have been made wh ich would adversely affect the flight characteristics, the particular airplane must be flight tested. (e) If bullet sealing fuel cells are inst alled, the following must be complied with: (1) Inspect the installation to as certain that tanks are adequately supported, i.e., that tank when empty, retains approximately its full shape and such that the weight of the fuel or cell will not cause sagging or pulling on any connections. (2) Check tank capacities and gauges. Tanks of this type are known to vary considerably in volume and the main cells may vary from 180 to 200 gallons capacity while the auxiliary cells may vary from 165 to 180 gallons capacity. Gauges and pertinent placar ds must show correct capacity for cells actually installed. Upon completion of the conversion to certificated status, the manufacturer's nameplate on the aircraft should be altered to include th e date of conversion and the new commercial model designation. In case the original nameplate is not sufficiently large to include this additional information, a similar plate should be installe d near the original plate. Under no circumstances should the original or any succeeding nameplate be removed from the aircraft. A-669 18 NOTE 8. Models DC3C-SC3G, DC3C-S1C3G and DC3C-S 4C4G (Army C-47, C-47A; Navy R4D-1, R4D-5) are basically the same as models DC3A-SC3G, DC3A-S 1C3G and DC3A-S4C4G, respectively. The DC3C-R- 1830-90C (C-47B, Navy R4D-6) is basically the same as the C-47A (Navy R4D-5) except for engine installation. Certain production changes have been made in some of the airc raft such as forged engine mounts, forged landing gear trusses, rear brace struts, etc., all of which is interchangeable, are structurally satisfactory for use on any DC3 aircraft. If an operator is doubtful as to the interchangeability of a part, he should contact the manufacturer for his recommendations. All C-47 or R4D-1 and C-47A or R4D-5 aircraft were c onstructed with a large fuselage door in the side to permit loading of large pieces of cargo and the floors and floor beams were strengthened to support greater loads than those in the standard DC3. The essential difference in the C-47 (R4D-1) and C-47A (R4D-5) is that the latter model has a 24 volt electrical system instead of the 12 volt system which was standard on the C-47 (R4D-1) and other DC3 aircraft. All of the C-47 (R4D-1 ) and part of the C-47A (R4D-5) aircraft have the steam heating system similar to the commercial DC3 ai rcraft, while the remainder of the C-47A (R4D-5) and all of the C-47B (R4D-6) aircraft have a hot air heating system installed. Prior to certification as a civil aircraft, the following must be accomplished: (a) Each airplane must satisfactorily pass on insp ection for conformity, possible hidden damage, and for workmanship and materials used in making any repairs and/or alterations. All Airworthiness Directive Notes must be complied with . It should also be determined that the production reinforced wing tips are installed. The reinforced tip was installed at th e factory on serial No. 9000 of the C-47 (R4D-1) aircraft and all of the C-47A (R4D-5) aircraft (Serial No. 9150 and up) but no rework of the aircraft already in service was ever required. The reinforced tip can be identified from the standard tip since the revisions consisted in changing all stringers in the top surface from 1/2 x 7/16 x .040 to 7/8 x 1/2 x .051. All of the short stringers on the top surface which originally ende d in the bays between the ribs in many cases, have been increased in length so that they will end at the rib. The five-inch doubler at the tip joint which was originally .032 has been increased to .051 material . These changes became effective on the "F" change of Douglas Dwg. 5115201. If the wing tips installed are not reinforced, they should be reworked as outlined in Douglas Service Bulletin No. 215 dated Sept ember 14, 1943 and Supplement No. 1 dated November 30, 1943 and Douglas Service Letter to operators date d October 19, 1943. The reinforcement used in the production tip is considered too difficult to accomplis h in the field and should not be resorted to unless satisfactory tooling is utilized. Douglas Service Bulletins Nos. C-47-44, C-47- 50, C-47-53, C-47-54, C-47-56 and C-47- 75 must be complied with as well as all other applicable Airw orthiness Directive NOTES not specifically mentioned herein. In addition to the Service Bulletins men tioned above, Army Techni cal Orders 01-40NC-82 and 01-40NC-86 must be complied with on the Model C-47B (Navy R4D-6). Some C-47 wing tips have been reinforced by installing .040 skin on the top surface from the wing tip joint to station 398, and an .020 doubler over the .040 skin from the tip joint to station 368. The .020 doubler is outside the skin, and a tip reinforced in this manner can be easily recognized by inspection without removing any inspection covers. Because of th e tooling necessary to perform this rework, it is recommended that this method of reinforcement not be done in the field. (b) Instrument markings and placards must be insta lled as required by this specification and commercial DC3 practice. Attention should be given to the winds hield equipment and it should be determined that a satisfactory windshield wiper is installed. (c) The following military equipment should be remove d: Winterization (except oil dilution system and hopper oil tanks), propane priming, glider tow mechanism in the tail cone, litter boxes, litters, and supporting structure. Such brackets and supporting st ructure as will not interfere with the safe operaiton of the aircraft may, at the operator's discretion, be left in the aircraft as long as the equipment has been rendered inoperative. (d) The non-ram air intake system, if installed, must be made inoperative and must be revised in accordance with Douglas Dwg. 5115226 so as not to in terfere with the carburetor hot air intake. (e) If the aircraft is to be used in scheduled air carri er service, an approved flashing tail light system must be installed. If certification is desired for night ope rations, all position lights should be approved type lights. 19 A-669 (f) A vacuum gauge or warning system equivalent to th at used in commercial DC3 aircraft must be installed in the instrument vacuum system. (g) Flares and flare system as required fo r the particular operation must be installed. (h) If the aircraft is to be used in air carrier servi ce, the acceptability and airworthiness of any radio equipment installed in the particular aircraft must be determined by the pertinent FAA offices. (i) NOTES 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 are pertinent to the operation of the airplane. (j) Any interior or exterior changes made to the primary structure or equipment must be made either according to approved drawings for DC3 type aircraft or satisfactorily substantiated. (k) Each airplane must be weighed to determine its weight and balance and an approved loading chart or device must be installed. If any changes have been made which would adversely affect the flight characteristics, the particular airplane must be flight tested. (l) On C-47A (R4D-5), C-47B (R4D-6) and C-117A airc raft having the hot air heating system installed, it must be determined that the duct which carries hot air for cabin heating is insulated within the engine nacelles. The following placard shall be installed near the heater warning light: "Operate emergency valves to spill hot air overboard when light is on." (m) If bullet sealing fuel cells are inst alled, the following must be complied with: (1) Inspect the installation to as certain that tanks are adequately supported, i.e., that tank, when empty, retains approximately its full shape and such that the weight of the fuel or cell will not cause sagging or pulling on any connections. (2) Check tank capacities and gauges. Tanks of this type are known to vary considerably in volume and the main cells may vary from 180 to 200 gallons capacity while the auxiliary cells may vary from 165 to 180 gallons capacity. Gauges and pertinent placar ds must show correct capacity for cells actually installed. Upon completion of the conversion to certificated status, the manufacturer's nameplate on the aircraft should be altered to include the date of conversion and the new commercial model designation. In case the original nameplate is not sufficiently large to include this additional information, a similar plate should be installed near the original plate. Under no circumstances should the original or any succeeding nameplate be removed from the aircraft. NOTE 9. The DC3D-R-1830-90C (Army C-117A ) model aircraft is basically th e same as the DC3C (Army C-47A) aircraft except for the engine installation and cabin in teriors, cabin floors and passenger entrance door similar to the commercial DC3 aircraft, which have been insta lled. A 24-volt electrical system and a hot air heating system are also incorporated instead of the 12-volt syst em and the steam heating system which were standard on the commercial DC3 aircraft. Prior to certification as a civil aircraft, the following must be accomplished: All modifications and inspections detailed under NOTE 8(a) (first and second para graphs only), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (j), (k), (l) and (m). All applicable Airworthiness Directive notes not speci fically mentioned herein must be complied with. Upon completion of the conversion to certificated status, th e manufacturer's nameplate on the aircraft should be altered to include the date of conversion and the ne w commercial model designation. In case the original nameplate is not sufficiently large to include this additional information, a similar plate should be installed near the original plate. Under no circumstances should the original or any succeeding nameplate be removed from the aircraft. NOTE 10. (a) All DC3C and DC3D aircraft are eligible fo r cargo operation at a maximum take-off and landing weight of 26,900 lbs., when engines having 1050 hp Max. continuous and 1200 hp for take-off are installed, provided the cabin floor is structurally adequate. A-669 20 (b) All DC3A aircraft are eligible for cargo opera tion at a maximum take-off and landing weight of 26,900 lbs., when engines having 1050 hp maximum conti nuous and 1200 hp for take-off are installed, provided the cabin floor is structurally adequate and wh en the landing weight exceeds 25,200 lbs. and/or the take- off weight exceeds 26,200 lbs., the following structural reinforcements are accomplished: (1) Install C-47 type upper main landing gear truss in accordance with Douglas Dwg. No. 5110569 or 5141775. (2) Install C-47 type landing gear retracting strut and mechanical lock in accordance with Douglas Dwg. Nos. 5110586, 5114203, 2114381, 5140045 and 5341742. (3) Add an .040 doubler plate to each front spar upper landing gear attach point as shown on Douglas Dwg. No. 5116763-18. (4) It must be determined that the main landing gear wheels and tires have static ratings of at least 13,450 lbs. Wheels listed under Items 201(e), (f), (h), (i) and (j) are satisfactory at the 26,900 lbs. cargo weight. Similarly, the tires listed under the following items are satisfactory for 26,900 lbs. gross weight: I t e m N o . Inflation Pressure 202(a) 48 p.s.i. 202(b) 38 p.s.i. 202(c) 38 p.s.i. 202(g) 38 p.s.i. In case other wheels and tires have been appr oved for particular installations, the approved static ratings for the wheels (refer to wheel specifica tions), and tires (refer to Tire and Rim Association Airplane Handbook) should be determined to be at least 13,450 lbs. before authorizing operation at a weight of 26,900 lbs. (5) The following Douglas DC-3 axles are sa tisfactory for maximum weights as indicated: Axle Assembly Weight 5007396 25,200 lbs. 5007162 with 5007390 torque collar 25,200 lbs. 5007162 with 5007390RW torque collar 26,900 lbs. 5007162 with changes per Douglas S.B. 26,900 lbs. #242 including 5203324 or 5111575 collar and C-47 type keys and lower oleo caps. 5116596 with 5203324 or 5111575 collar 26,900 lbs. 5367124 26,900 lbs. Douglas Service Bulletin DC-3 No. 261 contains inform ation relative to the identifying characteristics of the above listed axle assemblies. (c) A flap setting of 15 degrees is required to meet th e take-off and climb requirements at weights in excess of 25,200 lbs. at sea level except for those aircraft operated in accordance with a FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual or those aircraft eligible for ope ration in accordance with the take-off limitations of FAR 121, in which case a retracted fl ap position may be used for take-off. (d) The drawing referenced under (b) are not available to FAA representatives and, in each case, it will be necessary for the applicant to supply the necessary proof of compliance to satisfy the FAA representative that the changes have been incorporated in th e individual airplane. (Douglas Service Bulletin No. 242 describes in detail how to complete the rework c overed by the drawings listed in parts (1), (2) and (3) above. NOTE 11. The following partial flap settings and correspondi ng airspeeds may be used during approach procedures: Flap Setting Maximum Speed 1/4 155 mph (135 knots) True Ind. 1/2 114 mph ( 99 knots) True Ind. 3/4 112 mph ( 97 knots) True Ind. Full (45°) 112 mph ( 97 knots) True Ind. 21 A-669 NOTE 12. Models DC3A, DC3C, and DC3D ai rcraft with engines installed that are rated at 1050 hp maximum continuous and 1200 hp for take-off and authorized to be operate d in accordance with the performance requirements of CAR 4a-T or CAR 4b as specified in FAR 121, are eligible for maximum landing and take-off weights of 26,000 lbs. and 26,200 lbs. respectively, when the conditi ons as set forth in Items (a), (b) and (d) of NOTE 10 are complied with. For airplanes of U.S. Registry, th is applies only to airplanes operated by certificated air carriers. The following airspeed limits are applicable for weights between 25,200 lbs. and 26,200 lbs.: Level flight or climb 205 mph (178 knots) True Ind. Glide or dive 251 mph (218 knots) True Ind. Flaps extended 112 mph ( 97 knots) True Ind. See NOTE 11 for partial flap speeds. An FAA Approved Airplane Flight Ma nual will be required for airplanes of U.S. Registry operating at these weights. NOTE 13. The following is applicable to airplanes certificat ed under the provisions of CAB Special Regulation SR-407: Models DC3A, DC3C and DC3D aircraft have been determ ined to meet the structural requirements of CAR 4a as amended April 7, 1950, for a maxi mum landing and take-off weight of 26,900 lbs., and may be certificated for passenger carrying at weights up to and including 26,900 lbs., when P&W R-1830 series engines are installed whose maximum continuous hp does not exceed 1100 and whose T.O. hp does not exceed 1350, provided that the total weight of the engine-propelle r installation forward of the firewall does not exceed 2500 lbs. and the following are accomplished: (a) The structural modifications and installation of tires and wheels in accordance with NOTE 10(b) are required if the landing weight exceeds 25,200 lbs. or the take-off weight exceed 26,200 lbs. (b) If not already accomplished, the center wing spars, the tank covers on the bottom of the center wing and the nacelle to wing attach angles must be rewo rked in accordance with Douglas Project Sketches 10826, 10827, 10828 and 10829 and Douglas Dwg. No. 5162328 on the following aircraft: All serial numbers up to and including 1976, 1979 through 2003, 2009, 2011 through 2016 and 2019 through 2028. (c) P&W R-1830 type engines having a maximum con tinuous hp not to exceed 1100 and a T.O. hp not to exceed 1350 are installed. A forged engine mount per Douglas Dwg. No. 5110599 or welded engine mount per Douglas Dwg. No. 5141024, is required. Except for the R-1830-94 which has been determined to be satisfactory, engines incorporating two-speed supercharges must be locked in low blower unless satisfactory cooling tests are conducted and any modifications found necessary to permit high blower operation are incorporated. (d) Any increase in power above 1200 hp must not adversely affect the flight characteristics of the airplane. It has been determined that the directional controlla bility and stability of the DC-3 series aircraft is inadequate in the one-engine out condition if engi nes having more than 1200 hp for take-off are installed. Therefore, suitable modifications must be made to the airplane in a manner acceptable to the Administrator, which will maintain flight character istics equivalent to those previously approved. One such modification which has been approved for a maximum of 1350 hp for take-off is a geared rudder tab installation which is referred to in Item 602. (e) An Airplane Flight Manual approved by the FAA is required and must be carried in the airplane at all times. For airplanes using a maximum of 1200 hp for take-off, a maximum weight of 26,200 lbs. has been established and may be approved without furthe r tests. For airplanes using over 1200 hp up to 1350 hp for take-off, if it is desired to increase the ma ximum weight above 26,200 lbs. to a maximum of 26,900 lbs., performance subs tantiation is required. A-669 22 (f) The following airspeed (T IAS) limits are applicable: Up to and including Between 24,800 lbs. Between 25,200 lbs. 24,800 lbs. and 25,200 lbs. and 26,900 lbs. V1 (Level flight or climb) 201 mph (175 knots) 195 mph (170 knots) 183 mph (159 knots) Vne (Never exceed) 241 mph (210 knots) 233 mph (202 knots) 219 mph (190 knots) Vf (Flaps 1/4) 155 mph (135 knots) 155 mph (135 knots) 155 mph (135 knots) (Flaps 1/2) 114 mph ( 99 knots) 114 mph ( 99 knots) 114 mph ( 99 knots) (Flaps 3/4) 112 mph ( 97 knots) 112 mph ( 97 knots) 112 mph ( 97 knots) (Flaps full) (45°) 112 mph ( 97 knots) 112 mph ( 97 knots) 112 mph ( 97 knots) (g) The DC-3 series aircraft is not structurally satisfactory for take-off weight in excess of 26,900 lbs. Therefore, if take-off weight, up to a maximu m of 26,900 lbs., does not exceed the landing weight by more than 105%, dump valves are not required. No allowance for de-icer installation will be permitted at any weight. If an automatic pilot is installed in th e airplane, satisfactory flight tests must be completed to determine the effects upon the automatic pilot servo fo rces of any modification made to the airplane to maintain its flight characteristic s. The forces shown in Items 402(b) and (d) of this specification for the Sperry A-12 and Pioneer PB-10 have been demonstr ated to be satisfactory when a "geared Rudder Tab" (See Item 602) is installed provided the maximum sp eed for operation of the automatic pilot is limited to 180 mph. NOTE 14. The following aircraft models are also eligible for an airworthiness certificate under this specification; DSTA- SCG, -SC3G, -S1CG, -S1C3G and -S4C4G, serial numbers 1900 and up; DSTA-SB3G and -SBG, Serial Numbers 1951 and up; DC3A-SB3G and -SBG, Serial Numbers 1600 and up. NOTE 15. Correct serial number for a particular airpla ne may be obtained from the manufacturer if suitable information can be provided relative to its military iden tification, including military serial number. Page 13 of Douglas Service Magazine for July 1946 contains a list of incorrect serial numbers versus Air Force numbers and correct serial numbers for cer tain C47A, C47B and C117A aircraft. .....END..... ``` ## ADs (35, in force first) - [AD 2026-13-02](https://openairdocs.org/ad/2026-13-02): Navigation · Airbus Canada Limited Partnership 18, 49-46, 80-A and 555 more.
