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.

(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.

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). NOTE 13. Type Certificate (TC) and Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) re-issued to clearly state that Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc., has no involvement with this TC and that Garlick Helicopters is the original holder of TC number H3NM.
