Eligible The French Certificate of Airworthiness for Export endorsed as noted under “Import Requirements” must be submitted for each individual aircraft for which application for standard airworthiness certification is made. (See NOTE 7). Certification Basis CAR Part 10 dated March 1955 and French Specification AIR 2051 as revised to June 15, 1963, certified by SGAC as equivalent to U.S. CAR Part 4b, effective December 31, 1953 plus amendments 4b-1 through 4b-14, Special Conditions as stated in FAA letters dated November 15, 1963 and January 19, 1964, and Special Regulations SR-422B effective July 9, 1959. Type Certificate No. A6EU issued March 15, 1965. Date of Application for type certificate: April 1, 1962. Compliance with the following optiona l requirements has been established: French Spec. AIR 2051 Sections equivalent to: Ditching provisions CAR 4b.361 Ice protection provisions CAR 4b.640 Import Requirements A United States Certificate of Ai rworthiness may be issued on the basis of French Certificate of Airworthiness for Export signed by a representative of the Secretariat General a l’Aviation Civile (SGAC) containing the following statement, “The airplane covered by this certificate has been examined and found to comply with French AIR 2051 Regulation effective June 15, 1963 and conforms to type certificate No. A6EU.” Required Equipment The basic equipm ent as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (See Certification Basis) must be installed in the aircraft for certification. Model numbers of Nord 262 airplanes of the “A” series carry a dash number which identifies the particular customer configuration. Such configurations differ from the basic 262A type design primarily with regard to optional cockpit equipment and interior arrangement. NORD AVIATION Report 262 12 00 700 contai ns a list of required equipment for Model 262A-12. Nord Aviation Report 262A 00 700 contains lists of required equipment and optional equipment for Model 262A. In addition, the following items of equipment are required: Battery Temperature Control Installa tion, except for Model 262A-12, in accordance with Nord Aviation Modification No. 789 (Service Bulletin No. 26-10). For Model 262A-12, SGAC-approved Airp lane Flight Manual, approved March 15, 1965, reissued May 31, 1965. For all Models except Model 262A-12, SGAC-approved Airplane Flight Manual for Nord 262A, approved June 10, 1966, reissued January 10, 1974. 5 A6EU Service Information Information essential to the prope r maintenance of the aircraft, including retirement times of parts with a predetermined service life, is included in the Nord-Aviation NORD 262A Series Maintenance Manual. Service Bulletins, when approved by SGAC, will carry a statement to that effect. The Nord-Aviation Structural Repair Manual contains SGAC-approved information. NOTES NOTE 1. (a) A current weight and balan ce report, including a list of equipment in certificated empty weight and loading instructions, must be provided for each airplane at the time of the original airworthiness certification and at all times thereafter (except in the case of operators having an approved weight control system). (b) The airplane must be loaded so th at the C.G. is within the specified limits at all times with the effects of fuel usage and movement of crew and passengers from their assigned positions being considered. (c) The “drainable unusable” fuel is that amount of fuel in the tanks which is unavailable to the engines under critical flight conditions as defined in French AIR 2051 Regulation 5.16 (CAR 4b.416). This drainable unusable fuel does not include the “tank trapped fuel”. The total unusable fuel must be included in the airplane empty weight or be suitably accounted for in the airplane weight and balance report. The total volume of unusable fuel in U.S. Gal., with or without auxiliary tanks is: Airplane Total Vol. U.S. Gals. Wt. lb. Arm. in. Tank trapped 5.3 36 343.2 Drainable unusable 0.0 0 0.0 Total unusable 5.3 36 343.2 (d) Engine system oil is the total oil less the quantity drainable from the tank and is the amount of oil normally trapped in the propellers plus the amount normally trapped in the engines after drainage. System oil must be included in empty weight. The undrainable oil in this airplane is negligible. NOTE 2 Series 262A airplanes are eligible for operation with the SGAC-approved auxiliary fuel tank installation comprised of Nord Aviation Modification Nos. 354, 393, and 394. NOTE 3 JP4 fuel, or any mixture of JP4 and JP1, may be used without readjustment of the engine fuel control unit. When operating with JP4 fuel, or with any mixture of JP4 and JP1, the performance and operating limitations presented for operation with JP4 fuel in Appendix I of the Airplane Flight Manual must be observed. NOTE 4 Model 262A-12 airplane may be ope rated at maximum ramp weight of 23, 490 lbs. and maximum takeoff weight (brake release) of 23, 370 lbs., in accordance with Airplane Flight Manual Revision No. 22, dated October 16, 1973. Cockpit placard must be modified in accordance with Nord Aviation N-262 Modification No. 603. NOTE 5 Series 262A airplanes embodying in the enlarged wing tips of SGAC-approved Nord Aviation Modification No. 640 (Service Bulletin 57-9) may be operated in accordance with the performance and operating limitations presented in Appendix V of the Airplane Flight Manual. NOTE 6 Series 262A airplanes may be operated with engine vibration indicators installed in accordance with Nord Aviation Modification No. 429/1 (Service Bulletin 77-1) or Modification No. 429/2 (Service Bulletin 77-2). If installed, graduation of the indicator must conform with the following: Mod. 429/1: Range from 0 to 5, with red radial line at 1.96. Mod. 429/2: Range from 0 to 100 percen t, with red radial line at 50 percent. Series 262A airplanes which incorporate Modifica tion No. 853 (Service Bulletin 77-11) shall be operated according to Service Letter 77-10 with engine vibration periodic ground checks to replace continuous inflight engine vibration monitoring. NOTE 7 SGAC-approved Aerospatiale Report No. DEP/CRA- 21/74 (including SGAC (DGAC) approved revisions) titled, “Definition of Nord 262A Version for FAA Certification”, identifies modifications necessary for conformity with the approved type design of the Nord 262A series. This report also identifies mandatory modifications applicable to the intitially certificated -12 version of the aircraft. Serial number effectivity of each mandatory modification is specified in the appropriate service bulletin. .....END..... ``` ## ADs (7, in force first) - [AD 2005-18-20](https://openairdocs.org/ad/2005-18-20): "FASTprop" propeller de-icers · Hartzell PHC-C3YF-1RF/F8468A(B,K)-8R constant speed propeller (STC SA00718LA or 17 others).
