Date of application 2 November 1966.
Production Basis None.  Prior to original Certification of each Gyroplane, an FAA representative must
perform a detailed inspection for workmanship, materials, conformity to approved technical
data and a check of flight characteristics.
Equipment The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (See
Certification Basis) must be installed in the gyroplane for certification.  All required
equipment that must be installed as well as optional equipment installations are listed in the
following manufacturer's report:
  205R003 "Equipment List"
Service Information Model J-2 Structural Repair Manual Report J-2-68 is FAA approved.  All manufacturer's
Service Bulletins and other Service Information, when FAA approved, will carry a
statement to that effect.
NOTE 1. Current weight and balance report, including list of equipment included in certificated empty weight and
loading instructions, must be provided for each gyroplane at the time of original airworthiness certification and
at all times thereafter (except in the case of operators having an approved weight control system).  Ballast,
when necessary, must be carried in accordance with the loading instructions in the Rotrocraft Flight Manual.
The unusable fuel and oil must be included in the empty weight.  (Unusable fuel and oil equals sum of
drainable and undrainable).
NOTE 2. (a) The following placard must be installed on the Pilot's instrument panel:
"This gyroplane must be operated in compliance with the operating limitations specified in the FAA
Approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual."
(b) Additional required placards are specified in the Limitations section of FAA Approved Rotorcraft Flight

Where "A" is the actual hours on the component prior to modification
"B" is the service life limit for the component @ 1500 lbs G.W.
"C" is the service life limit for the compinent @ 1600 lbs G.W.
"D" is the revised total prorated service life limit for the
component (including the time prior to modification).
NOTE 4. The model J-2 Gyroplane, S/N 10 and up, are eligible for a maximum weight of 1600 pounds when modified in
accordance with Aero Resources Service Bulletin No. 18A, dated 28 March 1973 or later FAA approved
revision.  Rotorcraft Flight Manual, Report J-2-100, dated 30 November 1972 or later FAA approved revision
