NOTE 2 All placards required in the approved Airplane Flight Manual and approved Airplane Flight Manual
Supplements must be installed in the appropriate locations.
NOTE 3 The PA-36-285 and PA-36-300 have demonstrated satisfactory operation at 4400 lb., and the PA-36-375 at
4800 lb., in the Restricted Category envelope at sea level under standard day conditions. Further weight
increases should not be accomplished in the field.
The Normal Category maximum takeoff and landing weight is 3900 lb. Si nce the hopper load is disposable,
landing in excess of this weight should not be required. If it is necessary to make a landing at weight over
3900 lb., the pilot must exercise caution to prevent structural damage to the landing gear and airframe. The
takeoff weight should be adjusted also, to suit the runway surface to prevent over-stressing the structure.
NOTE 4 The following exceptions to FAR 23 were granted based on the Restricted Category operating limitations:
FAR 23.25(a); 23.77(b); 23.335; 23.337; 23.1505; 23.1507; 23.1545 and 23.1583(a).
