Regulations that are inappropriate: FAR 23.1, as amended by Amendment 23-10,
effective March 13, 1971.
Limitations required to show compliance with FAR's are specified in the Airplane Flight
Manual (AFM) and in the Airworthiness limitations section of the Maintenance Manual,
and may not be revised without approval by the FAA Atlanta Aircraft Certification
Office.
Production Basis Production Certificate No. 206 and the manufacturer is authorized to issue airworthiness
certificates under the delegation option provisions of FAR 21.
Equipment The basic equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see
Certification Basis) must be installed in the aircraft for certification.
In addition, the following items of equipment are required:
1. FAA approved Airplane Flight Manual Report No. LK-1485.
NOTE 1. Current weight and balance data, loading information, and a list of equipment included in empty weight
must be provided for each airplane at the time of original certification. Basic empty weight includes
unusable fuel of 13.4 lb. at (+128.0).
NOTE 2. All placards required in the FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual must be installed in the appropriate
location.

NOTE 3. The Service Life Limits on components are contained in the Maintenance Manual and are listed below:
(a) Engine mount bolts at Sta. 106.00: 7853 hrs.
(b) Wing: 18,000 hrs.
(c) Empennage: 18,000 hrs.
(d) Fuselage: 18,000 hrs.
NOTE 4. The maximum propeller shaft overspeed limit for the PT6A-61 is 100% (2200 r.p.m.) of all ratings.
91% propeller shaft speed is defined as 2000 r.p.m. and is the normal steady state operating limit. Gas
generator speeds up to 104.0% are permissible for unlimited periods subject of applicable
temperature and other limits. 100% gas generator speed is defined as 37,468 r.p.m.
NOTE 5. (a) Propeller low pitch is set so that at 1900 r.p.m. there shall be an indicated 1154 ± 30 ft. -lb torque
corrected to sea level standard day.
(b) Propeller reversed pitch setting is adjusted to provide reversed power of 180 SHP ± 20
(SHP = torque x prop r.p.m. x 0.00019.)
(c) Feathered angle shall be adjusted to prevent rotation while feathered at 132 KCAS.
NOTE 6. (a) Aviation Gasoline MIL-G-5572 Grades 80/87, 91/98, 100/130 and 115/145 are permitted for a total
time period not to exceed 150 hours time between turbine hot section inspections. It is not necessary
