Also, any additional equipment necessary for the proper operation of the aircraft must be installed. aircraft may incorporate such military equipment (except armament) as was incorporated in the type for military or naval service. equipment may be installed as can be substantiated on the basis that it presents no obvious hazard to safety. Weight and Balance Report including list of equipment included in empty weight must be submitted for each aircraft. Army or Navy weight records in current condition may be submitted in lieu of an actual weight. The equipment list need include no more than Required equipment as defined under "EQUIPer Feve. items as may be reasonably considered removable and are so located or of such weight that could noticeably affect the weight and balance of the aircraft. Items built into the aircraft structure need not be listed. can be attached to the FAA Operating Limitations. The following placards must be prominently displayed in the positions n full view of all passengers: &This is a military type aircraft and ir Requlations shall not be used for the carriag of passengers or cargo for compensation or hire." In the cockpit in full view of the pilot: "Do not extend landing gear above 175 mph." "Do not extend landing light above 140 mph. "Do not operate extended flaps above 150 mph." operate maneuvering flaps above 250 mph." A dive limits placard in accordance with Figure 25a I. 0. AN-01-75-1. The airspeed indicator shall be marked as follows: A red radial line at 420 A green radial line at 290 mph. A yellow arc (precautionary range) shall extend from the green line to the red radial line. The following statement must appear on the Operating Limitations: This airplane must be operated at all times within the limitations forth in Army Technical Order AN-01-75 except for limitations specifically called out in Aircraft Specification AL-10 in which case the values given in the specification must be observed. A copy of the pertinent Army Technical Order and Aircraft Specification AL-10 must he carried during In all cases it will be the responsibility of the applicant to secure a copy of the correct Technical Orders. The FAA does not have these documents available for distribution. Order AN-01-75FF-3. any repairs or modifications (other than those covered in the pertinent Army repair manual) are made prior to and/or subsequent to Ni certification, it is the responsibility of the owner sufficient evidence to a FAA representative to show that the modified airplare maintains the same degree of airworthiness as the The FAA can give no technical assistance on such matters since complete structural data for NI aircraft are not required ty Part 9 and therefore are not available in the FAA. NOTE 5. Prior to obtaining certification for night operation, the following modifications to the exterior lighting must be made in order to comply with the general requirements of the Civil Air Regulations: Position lights (a) Wing Tif - If type A-7 or A-8 light assemblies are installed, they must be replaced with type certificated light assemblies. If type A-9 (AN-3033-10 or AN-3033-5 through -8) light assemblies installed, they may be satisfactorily modified by painting che sand blasted portion of the inner surface of the AN-1042-3 and -4 covers black. The AN-3033-1 through -4 light assemblies are satisfactory without modification. rail - The present lights on the vertical stabilizers are not satisfactory and must be replaced with type certificated units. Position light installation The position lights shall be installed to comply with the require- ment of the CAR, Parts 15.2 and 3.538. Position light circuit and control The position lights (wing tips and tail) shall be controlled by one SPST switch. The circuit should be protected by its own fuse or circuit breaker. The individual wing tip and tail light switches with dim and bright positions shall be removed and the dimming resistors presently installed shall be disconnected. Other exterior lights with the exception of the landing lights, any other exterior lights are not required and may be removed if so desired. The F-5C is the same as the P-38J and F-5F and F-50 are the same as the F-38L except for photographic equipment. The P-38M is the night fighter version of thep-381 with the following major changes: fuel system, standard canopy replaced with larger canopy, and installation of observer's seat. he list of mandatory changes required prior to original certification may be obtained from Federal Aviation Agency, Washington 25, D.C. ``` ## ADs (1, in force first) - [AD 93-14-12](https://openairdocs.org/ad/93-14-12): Crewmember Protective Breathing Equipment Units · Airbus A300 B2-1A, A300 B2-1C, A300 B2-203 and 201 more.
