Prior to original certification of each aircraft an FAA representative must perform a detailed inspection for workmanship, materials, and conformity with the approved technical data, and a check of the flight characteristics. Equipment The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the aircraft for certification. Wing Aircraft Report No. RD1-16, Part II, "Equipment List", contains a list of all required equipment that must be installed. NOTE 1. (a) Current weight and balance report including list of equipment included in certificated empty weight, and loading instructions when necessary, must be in each aircraft at the time of original certification and at all times thereafter. (b) The airplane must be loaded so that the C.G. is within the specified limits at all times, including the effect of fuel usage. (c) Unusable fuel and undrainable oil must be included in the certificated empty weight and corresponding center of gravity location. NOTE 2. The following placard must be displayed in front of and in clear view of the pilot: "This airplane must be operated as a normal category airplane in compliance with the FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual." .....END..... NOTE 3. Additional required placards are specified in the Limitations section of FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual. This Type Certificate (TC) has been designated "ABANDONED". A “Notice of Intent To Designate as Abandoned Certain Type Certificates Issued in the Restricted Category,” was published by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the Federal Register on January 3, 2023 (68 FR 47379). That Notice listed this TC. The FAA received no comments on the published Notice. The FAA has been unable to contact this TC holder. Hence, the FAA has determined that this TC holder is not complying with its Continued Operational Safety (COS) responsibilities. Therefore, no additional aircraft will be added to this TC and no additional original airworthiness certificates will be issued based on this TC. The effectiveness of this TC is limited to those aircraft that received original airworthiness certification prior to the incorporation of this note (Date of Incorporation, January 3, 2023). Subsequently, if the TC holder is located and assumes their COS responsibilities, the restriction(s) imposed by this note may be lifted.
