Additional 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 the certificated empty weight myst be submitted for each aircraft.

Additional items as may be reasonably considered removable and are so located or of such weight that their removal or addition could noticeably affect the weight and balance of the aircraft. Items built into the aircraft structure need not be listed.
