NOTE 1. The generator speed as shown under "Engine Limits" are maximum permissible speeds. The torque pressure
output by the engine torque sensing system and the gas generator speed for rated power output varies with
individual engines and must be determined during engine calibration and stamped on the engine data plate. The
torque pressure and gas generator speed shall be adjusted and displayed on the limit placard (P/N 204-70-149)
installed on the instrument panel and must correspond to the engine data plate. Gas generator speed limits also
vary with OAT in accordance with the schedule as shown on the limit placard (P/N 204-70-149) on the instrument
panel.
NOTE 2. Current weight and balance report including list of required equipment and list of equipment included in
certificated empty weight, and loading instructions when necessary must be provided for the helicopter at the time
of original certification.
The certificated empty weight and corresponding C.G. locations must include undrainable oil of 1.72 lbs.
(STA.+154) and unusable fuel of 9.0 lbs. (STA.+145) for 242 gal. capacity fuel system.
NOTE 3. The following placard must be displayed in front of and in clear view of the pilot: "THIS AIRCRAFT MUST BE
OPERATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH OPERATING LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED IN THE AIRCRAFT
FLIGHT MANUAL NAVAIR 01-110HCA-1." All placards required in the aircraft flight manual shall be
installed in the appropriate locations.
NOTE 4. The retirement times of critical parts are listed in NAVAIR 01-110HCA-6 Maintenance Manual. These values of
retirement or service life cannot be increased without FAA engineering approval
NOTE 5. Prior to Civil Airworthiness Certification the provisions of all applicable AD's a nd mandatory T.O.'s must be
accomplished. All follow-on AD's to be complied with.
NOTE 6. Rigging information contained in NAVAIR 01-110HCA-2 Maintenance Manual.

110HCA-1 Aircraft Flight Manual and on the face of the ambient temperature gage on the instrument panel.
NOTE 9. Anti-icing additive at a concentration not in excess of 0.1% by volume or as recommended by the manufacturer
may be used in fuel for this helicopter.
NOTE 10. Gross weights above 8500 lbs. are limited to Extern al Cargo Load only and must not be imposed on the landing
gear. The retirement times listed in Note 4 are not changed.
NOTE 11. All repairs to this aircraft to be performed in accordance with NAVAIR 01-110HCA-3 Structural Repair Manual.
NOTE 12. Engine inspections to be performed per Lycoming Engine Inspection Handbook T5311-5.
NOTE 13. This Type Certificate (TC) has been designated "ABANDONED". A “Notice of Intent To Designate as
Abandoned Certain Type Certificates Issued in the Restricted Category,” was published by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) in the Federal Register on August 8, 2003 (68 FR 47379). That Notice listed this TC. The
FAA received no comments on the published Notice. The FAA has been unable to contact this TC holder. Hence,
the FAA has determined that this TC holder is not complying with its Continued Operational Safety (COS)
responsibilities. Therefore, no additional aircraft will be added to this TC and no additional original airworthiness
certificates will be issued based on this TC. The effectiveness of this TC is limited to those aircraft that received
original airworthiness certification prior to the incorporation of this note (Date of Incorporation, January 24,
2005). Subsequently, if the TC holder is located and assumes their COS responsibilities, the restriction(s) imposed
by this note may be lifted.
