Service informationAll Model SN-601 Service Bulletins published by Aerospatiale will be D.G.A.C. approved, and will carry a statement to that effect. This statement may be interpreted, as "F.A.A. approved". Service Bulletins that are the subject matter of a French Consigne de Navigabilite (Airworthiness Directive) will be so stated on the Bulletin. Maintenance Manual (which includes information essential to the proper maintenance of the aircraft, and retirement times of parts with a predetermined service life). Other available service documents for Model SN-601 "Corvette" are as follows: Illustrated Parts Catalog; Wiring Diagram Manual; and, Structural Repair Manual. NOTES NOTE 1. Weight and Balance. a. Current weight and balance report, including list of equipment included in certificated empty weight, and loading instructions must be provided for each aircraft at the time of original certification. b.

A37EU 6 c. The following must be included in the airplane empty weight: Unusable wing fuel of 41 lbs. at 277.5 in., plus total oil of 36 lbs. at 382 in., plus total hydraulic fluid of 24 lbs. at 341.5 inches from datum. With wing tip tank provisions per Aerospatiale Mod. No. 0019, and wing tip tanks per Mod. No. 0038, unusable fuel is increased by 35 lbs. NOTE 2. Placards. All placards presented in the approved Airplane Flight Manual must be installed at the appropriate locations. NOTE 3. Service Life Limits. Airplane components which are life limited are listed in the DGAC-approved portion of Chapter 5 of the SN-601 "Corvette" Maintenance Manual, and must be replaced as indicated therein. NOTE 4. Aircraft incorporating Aerospatiale Mod. Order 1355 may be operated at a maximum landing weight of 13,230 1-s (6000 kg) in accordance with rev. 11 to the DGAC approved Airplane Flight manual Document 601-A-100-7A. NOTE 5. Aircraft incorporating Aerospatiale Mod. Order 1382 may be operated at the following maximum weights: Maximum ramp weight : 15,542 lbs (7.050 kg) Maximum takeoff weight : 15,432 lbs (7.000 kg) in accordance with Revision 12 to the DGAC approved Airplane Flight Manual Document 601-A-100-7A. The following airspeed and C.G. limits must be observed when operating at the above weight: Airspeed Limits (IAS): Va (Design Maneuvering) 196 kts. V (Maximum tire ground speed) (with Mod. M 1330) 156 kts. Forward C.G. Limits: 24% Reference chord at 15,430 lbs (7000 kg) with linear variation to 22% reference chord at 14,550 lbs (6600 kg) All other C.G. limits are unchanged. NOTE 6. Modification 1356 incorporated in DGAC approved Revision 12 to the Airplane Flight Manual, Document No. 601-A-100-7A provides DGAC approved takeoff and performance data for zero degree flap configuration takeoff operations. ---END--- ``` ## ADs None name its models. ## STCs approved under this data sheet (7) - [STC SA2693NM](https://openairdocs.org/stc/SA2693NM): Installation of Electronics International digital volt/amp gauges and accessories..
