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. H5NM Page 6 of 7 NOTES (cont’d) 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, tests, computations, evaluations, analyses, or other means or methods that the helicopter, engine, or 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 12. Gas producer speed, 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 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 13. Lycoming engine models T53-L-11 (s/n suffix “A”), T53-L-11B and T53-L-11C are approved for use as alternate engines under this Type Certificate.
