Interior Equipment
401. (a) Airplane Flight Manual, CAA (FAA) Approved, May 21, 1948.
(b) Skiplane Supplemen t to Manual as follows:
"Performance Information with Ski Installation:
Climb: Skiplane climb performance is essentially equal to that of the landplane.
Take-off and landing: Under the most fa vorable conditions of smooth packed snow
temperatures approximating 30° F, skiplane take-off distance is essentially equal to the
landplane distance. Landing distance is approximately 20% greater than the
landplane distance. In applying the perfo rmance data, caution should be exercised in
that lower temperatures or other snow c onditions will increase the ski friction and hence
increase the take-off run and decrease the landing run."
NOTE 1. Current weight and balance report including list of equipment included in certificated weight empty, 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 air carrier operators having an approved weight control system).
NOTE 2. The following placards must be displayed on the instrument panel in full view of the pilot:
