Maximum weights With the jet engine airworthy and operable and with the servo tab installed in accordance
with Drawing SDC-140, the aircraft may be operated over congested areas at the
following weights if the aircraft altitude is 3000 feet above the terrain or the altitude
which will enable the aircraft to "drift down" outside the limits of the congested area,
whichever is greater.  Over congested areas with an aircraft altitude below 3000 feet
above the terrain, or the "drift down" altitude, whichever is greater, the jet engine must
be operating on standby power to permit flight at the following weights.  The following
weights are the maximum allowed during flight over uncongested areas, with or without
the jet engine operating.  Over congested areas with an aircraft altitude below 3000 feet
above the terrain or the "drift down" altitude, whichever is greater, when the jet engine is
not operating, the maximum weight allowed is the same as for the C-82A over congested
areas.

NOTE 1. 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.
NOTE 2. Night and IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) flights are permitted provided the aircraft is properly equipped
for such operations in accordance with CAR 43.
NOTE 3. These aircraft do not comply with international airworthiness standards of the ICAO Annex 8 Part II;
therefore, flights are not authorized over foreign countries.  Special permission must be obtained from
foreign countries to conduct flight over their territories.
NOTE 4. For aircraft to be eligible for operation under Section II, the provisions of Steward- Davis Top Drawings
JPA-1109 or JPA-1110 must be incorporated.
NOTE 5 Placard required on instrument panel in full view of pilot:  "Avoid operation between 1550 and 1650
