Certification Basis 14 CFR part 27 as amended by Amendment 27-1 through Amendment 27-26. 14 CFR part 36 as amended by Amendment 36-1 through Amendment 36-20, Appendix J for initial certification at a maximum weight of 6,000 lb with P&W 206A engines. 14 CFR part 36 as amended by Amendment 36-1 through Amendment 36-21, Appendix H (See Exemption No. 6505.) for certification at: A maximum weight of 6,500 lb with P&W 206A engines, and 7 of 10 H19NM M aximum weights of 6,250 lb and 6,500 lb with P&W 207E engines. The FAA determined that the noise characteristics of the MD900 at a maximum weight of 6,250 lb with P&W 206E engines were equivalent to the characteristics approved in the initial certification. The FAA determined that the noise characteristics of the MD900 at a maximum weight of 6,500 lb with P&W 206E engines were equivalent to the characteristics approved for the MD900 at a maximum weight of 6,500 lb with P&W 206A engines. The FAA determined that the noise characteristics of the MD900 incorporating the thruster extension kit with P&W 206A, 206E, or 207E engines were equivalent to the previously approved noise characteristics. 14 CFR part 36 as amended by Amendment 36-1 through Amendment 36-25, Appendix J for certification at a maximum weight of 6,770 lb with P&W 207E engines. MDHI requested certification of the MD900 (902 configuration) to the proposed Category A requirements for part 27 rotorcraft in Docket No. 28008; Notice No. 94-36, “Rotorcraft Regulatory Changes Based on European Joint Airworthiness Requirements Proposals,” The FAA concurred with MDHI’s request and subsequently certificated the MD900 for Category A operations. The Category A requirements in NPRM 94-36, with minor changes, were incorporated into part 27 as Appendix C – Criteria for Category A by Amendment 27-33. Special Condition Docket No. 91-ASW-2; Special Condition 29-ASW-2, “McDonnell Douglas Model MD-900 Helicopter, Critical Functioning Electrical/Electronic Systems.” Issued December 26, 1991. This special condition addresses protection for electrical/electronic systems from High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF). See http://rgl.faa.gov for the full text of this special condition. Equivalent Level of Safety (ELOS) Findings ELOS No. TD9369LA-R/F-2, “MD Helicopters, Incorporated (MDHI), Equivalent Level of Safety (ELOS) Finding to 14 CFR 27.143(c)(4) and 27.1587(a)(2)(ii).” This ELOS addresses low speed controllability and the associated presentation of information in the RFM. Equivalent Level of Safety (ELOS) finding for compliance to 29.1181(a) and 29.1191(a)(1) for the engine forward firewall. Exemptions Exemption No. 6505, “In the matter of the petition of McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Systems for an exemption from Section 27.1(a) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations,” issued on September 5, 1996. This exemption allowed McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Systems to increase the maximum gross weight of the MD900 from 6,000 lb to 7,000 lb. Title 14 CFR 27.1(a) was amended in 1999 to expand the maximum weight limit for normal category rotorcraft to 7,000 lb. Exemption No. 7360, “In the matter of the petition of MD Helicopters Inc. for an exemption from Section C36.105(c)(1) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations” issued on September 27, 2000. (The section cited in the exemption title is incorrect. The correct section, H36.105(c)(1), is discussed in the body of the exemption.) This exemption allowed an alternative level flyover airspeed of 90 percent of the never-exceed airspeed (0.9VNE) for use in the 14 CFR part 36 noise certification of the MD900 at weights above 6,250 lb since at those H19NM 8 of 10 weights MDHI defined the VNE as 100 KTAS, a speed less than the true VH. This exemption expired on July 2, 2004 when Appendix H was amended to include this criteria. Type Certificate Date of application: April 25, 1989 Type Certificate No. H19NM, issued on December 2, 1994 TC reissued on February 8, 1999 to replace certificate reported lost. TC reissued on February 18, 1999 to MD Helicopters, Inc. Kinds of Operation The MD900 (all versions) is eligible for the following operations when the appropriate equipment and instruments required by the airworthiness and operating regulations are installed, approved, and in an operable condition: • Day and night operation under visual flight rules (VFR) • Day and night operation under instrument flight rules (IFR), see requirements in Note 9.

Control Surface Movements For rigging information refer to the MDHI Model MD900 Maintenance Manual, publication no. CSP-900RMM-2 Production Basis Production Certificate No. PC 410NM was issued to McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Company (MDHC), the original holder of TC H19NM. MDHC built helicopter serial numbers 900-00065 and prior under this PC. Production Certificate No. PC 714NM was issued to McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Company (MDHC) on February 19, 1999. MDHC, under license from MDHI, built helicopter serial numbers 900-00066 and 900-00067 under this PC. Production Certificate No. PC 715NM. This PC was issued to MDHI on November 5, 1999. Helicopters manufactured under this PC include serial numbers 900-00068 and subsequent. Equipment The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the helicopter for certification. In addition, the following FAA Approved Rotorcraft Flight Manuals (RFM) or FAA Approved RFM Supplements are required: MD900 (Basic RFM, 6,500 LB) Helicopters with PW206A engines: RFM No. CSP-900RFM206A-1 Helicopters with PW206E engines: RFM No. CSP-900RFM206E-1 Helicopters with PW207E engines: RFM No. CSP-900RFM207E-1 MD900 (902 Configuration) (Basic RFM, 6,500 LB ) Helicopters with PW206E engines: RFM No. CSP-902RFM206E-1 Helicopters with PW207E engines: RFM No. CSP-902RFM207E-1 MD900 with PW207E engines (RFM Supplements, 6,770 LB) 900 Configuration: CSP-900RFM207E-S-3 902 Configuration: CSP-902RFM207E-S-3 9 of 10 H19NM Notes Note 1. A current Basic Weight and Balance Record, and MD900 Required/Optional Equipment List must be provided for each aircraft at the time of original certification. Note 2. See FAA Approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual for required placards. Note 3. The retirement times of certain parts and inspection requirements are listed in Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS), Section 04-00-00, of the Model MD900 Maintenance Manual (CSP-900RMM-2). These values of retirement of service lives and inspection cannot be increased without FAA approval. See http://www.mdhelicopters.com/publications/pdf/pubs_index/900index.pdf to determine the current revision of level of CSP-900RMM-2. Note 4. For initial type certification, MDHS elected to incorporate engine isolation features that comply with engine isolation requirements in §§ 27.79(b)(2), 27.141(b)(1) and 27.143(d)(1). Compliance was shown by applying the limited time period method presented in Advisory Circular AC 27-1. This method was presented in paragraph 780 of the AC revision in effect when the MD900 was initially certificated, but now resides in paragraph AC 27 MG 3 of the current revision. This method was applied to the multiengine Category A engine isolation requirements in part 29 as amended through Amendment 29-29. Note 5. On February 11, 1998, the FAA approved an enhanced version of the MD900 for Category A operations. The enhanced version, designated MD902 by MDHI, is referred to by the FAA as the MD900 (902 Configuration). The MD900 (902 Configuration) incorporated a number of changes, including additional engine isolation features, changes to the Integrated Instrument Display System (IIDS), and a separate RFM. These changes allowed the MD900 (902 Configuration) to comply fully with Category A certification requirements. Note 6. The MD900 rotorcraft employs electronic engine controls, commonly referred to as Full Authority Digital Engine Controls (FADEC). Engines with FADEC are recognized to be more susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) than engines with manual (non-electronic) controls. For this reason, modifications that add or change electrical systems that have the potential for EMI must be qualified to an FAA acceptable standard. For guidance refer to section MG-4 of Advisory Circular AC 27-1B Change 2, or later revision. See MDHI Service Bulletin SB900-067R1 “Electromagnetic Compatibility Test” or latest approved revision. Note 7. Any changes to the type design of this helicopter by means of an amended type certificate (TC), supplemental type certificate (STC), or amended STC, requiring instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) must be submitted through the project aircraft certification office (ACO) for review and acceptance by the Fort Worth -Aircraft Evaluation Group (FTW-AEG) Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) prior to the aircraft delivery, or upon issuance of the first standard airworthiness certificate for the affected aircraft, whichever occurs later as prescribed by Title 14 CFR 21.50. Type design changes (major repairs or alterations) by means of a FAA Form 337 (field approval) that require ICA’s must have those ICA’s reviewed by the field approving FSDO. Note 8 MD900 serial numbers 900-00008 through 900-00051 are eligible for conversion to the enhanced version (902 configuration). Each eligible H19NM 10 of 10 helicopter, after conversion to the enhanced version in accordance with MDHI Report No. 900R000378 Rev - or MDHI Technical Bulletin TB900-28, fully complies with Category A certification requirements (See Certification Basis and Note 5). The conversion includes replacement of the original Rotorcraft Flight Manual with the Rotorcraft Flight Manual for the enhanced version, MDHI Publication No. CSP-902RFM207E-1. Note 9 Model MD900 helicopters, S/N 900-00010 and subsequent, are eligible for day and night IFR operations, when modified in accordance with MD Helicopters Inc. STC SR00436WI-D. The STC addresses Single Pilot, Dual Pilot, and Category A operations. Note 10 MD900s S/N 900-00010 through 900-00051 with PW 206A engines may operate with increased One Engine Inoperative (OEI) torque limits with the incorporation of Technical Bulletin TB900-010R1 or later approved revision. Note 11 MD900s certificated for a maximum weight of 6,770 lbs. are limited to those aircraft that have been modified in accordance with MDHI Technical Bulletin TB900-044R1 or later FAA approved revision and identified by serial number in FAA Approved RFM Supplement specified by the technical bulletin. ----End----
