Aerial surveying (photography, mapping and oil and mineral exploration). Date of appl ication for Type Certificate June 9, 1983. Production basis None. No helicopter may be produced under this approval. Prior to original airworthiness certification of each aircraft, FAA personnel must perform an airworthiness inspection determining that the aircraft is in condition for safe operation and that the applicant has conducted a satisfactory flight test. Equipment The basic required equipment, as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see certification basis) must be installed in the helicopter for certification. In addition, equipment necessary for the particular special purpose must be FAA engineering approved. External Cargo Operations, Part 133, shall be conducted as specified in NAVAIR 01-110HCA-1 Flight Manual. See also Navair Weight and Balance Data, Navair 01-1B-40. Datum Station 0 (datum is located 7.60 inches aft of the most forward point of the fuselage cabin nose section). Leveling means Plumb line from top of left main door frame. 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 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. H9NM 4 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.
