issued January 19, 1984, for the special purpose of:
(1) External Load Operations under FAR 21.25(b)(7).
Note: In accordance with FAR 36.1(a)(4), compliance with the noise requirements
was not shown. Therefore, aircraft certificated under this type certificate are only
eligible for external load operations excepted by FAR 36.1(a)(4) and defined under
FAR 133.1(b).
Any alteration to the helicopter for Special Purposes not identified above require further
FAA approval and in addition, may require noise and/or flight testing.
General Note: Any subsequent modifications to the helicopter type certified under this Type
Certificate are to have the certification basis for that modification established under 14 CFR
21.101 published June 7, 2000 which became effective June 10, 2003. Otherwise non-
significant modifications are to meet the requirements of CAR 7 airworthiness standards,
including Amendment 7-5, effective May 1962 plus special conditions for turbine engine
installations and 14 CFR 29.1529, Instructions for continued airworthiness, Amendment 20,
effective September 11, 1980. Also should consider that military installed crashworthy fuel
systems in some of these aircraft and should require that to be maintained.
Production Basis None. No helicopters may be produced under this approval. (See Note 4) Prior to adding
serial numbers to this Type Certificate, each candidate helicopter must undergo a conformity
inspection. The conformity inspection will be conducted in accordance with a Type
Inspection Authorization, Part 1, or request for conformity that will include as a minimum,
the inspections contained in the FAA Rotorcraft Directorate Restricted Category Conformity
document dated September 25, 2001 or later FAA approved revision.
Equipment The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations, (see
certification basis), must be installed in each type helicopter for certification. In addition, the
following is required:
1) US Army TM55-1520-219-10, Operators manual, UH-1B.
2) All external equipment and its attachments installed on this aircraft must be FAA
approved.
NOTES
NOTE 1. A current weight and balance report including list of equipment included in certificated empty weight
and loading instructions must be in each helicopter at time of original airworthiness certification.
Refer to pages 12-4a and 12-4b of Operators Manual TM55-1520-219-10 or Apex. D of Maintenance
Manual TM55-1520-219-20 for CG determinations and use of ballast if required.

NOTE 4. In addition to the standard helicopter requirements, the following additional data and/or helicopter
configuration requirements must be met for each individual model UH-1B helicopter upon application
for an original Special Airworthiness Certificate:
(a) A completed application for airworthiness certificate, FAA Form 8130-6 that has correctly
identified the type certificate holder’s helicopter and its intended special purpose(s).
(b) Written confirmation from the certifying office that the affected serial number has been added to
Garlick Helicopters Inc., type certificate.
(c) The application for airworthiness certification and the helicopter’s registration certification
match the information on Garlick Helicopter, Inc. data plate.
(d) The US Army Modification Work Orders (MWOs) and technical bulletins listed in Pilot
Personnel International Report dated October 10, 1983, must be complied with.
(e) FAA Airworthiness Directives for all Bell 204 series aircraft and Lycoming T53 -L11 series
engines must be reviewed for applicability and complied with accordingly.
(f) FAA Airworthiness Directives as called out in Garlick Helicopters Inc. UH -1 Airworthiness
Directive Review List dated 5-14-2001 or later approved revision must be reviewed for
applicability and complied with accordingly.
(g) This aircraft must be serviced, maintained inspected repaired and overhauled in accordance with
the documents specified in GHI Instruction for Continued Airworthiness Report GH -H3NM-

NOTES (cont’d)
NOTE 5. This aircraft is prohibited from carrying cargo for compensation or hire, carriage of cargo is limited to
such cargo that is incidental to the aircraft owner/operator’s business which is other than air
transportation. (This note applies to aircraft that have the “Special Purpose” Carriage of Cargo. )
NOTE 6. A Restricted Category aircraft may not be operated in a foreign country without the expressed written
approval of that country.
NOTE 7. The following note must be placed under “exceptions” on all Export Certificates of Airworthiness for
this aircraft. “This aircraft is Type Certificated in the Restricted Category and has not been determined
to meet the international standards concerning the airworthiness of aircraft as provided for in Annex 8
to the Convention of International Civil Aviation, (Chicago Convention) of December 7, 1944.
NOTE 8. Military to Civil or Military to Military engine changes are allowed provided the replacement engine
is of the same make and model as identified in this TCDS. The military or civil replacement engine
must have proper military or civil records and have the applicable FAA Air worthiness Inspection
accomplished and is in an airworthy condition.
NOTE 9. Helicopters that do not have documentation showing they were surplus from an Armed Force of the
United States are not eligible for certification under this type certificate. Engines and appliances that do
not have documentation showing they were surplus from an Armed Force of the United States are not
eligible for installation on a helicopter under this type certificate. Helicopter(s), engine(s), and appliances
that have records indicating time-in-service by a foreign military or a foreign government will be
presumed to be ineligible for certification or installation under this type certificate. This presumption
maybe overcome by the applicant substantiating, to the satisfaction of the FAA, through documentation,

appliance, during its time-in-service by the foreign military or foreign government, was maintained to an
extent and in a manner equal to that of an Armed Force of the United States.
NOTE 10. Torque pressure output by the engine torque sensing system varies with individual engines. A
calibration of this value is required on each engine and the value corresponding to tak e-off power is
stamped on the engine data plate.
NOTE 11. Gas producer speeds as shown under “Engine Limits” are maximum permissible speeds. The gas
producer speed for rated power output varies with individual engines and must be determined during
engine calibration and stamped on the engine data plate. The rated gas producer speed shown on the
temperature limit placard installed on the instrument panel must correspond to the engine data plate
gas producer speed. Gas producer speed limits also vary with OAT in accordance with the schedule
as shown on the temperature limit (GO-NO-GO TAKE OFF) placard on the instrument panel.
NOTE 12. Maximum permissible exhaust gas temperature varies with ambient temperature as described in the
operators manual Check engine EGT by the use of a Health Indicator Test (HIT), prior to take off.
(See TM55-1520-219-10 and HIT EGT log for the aircraft).
