MAC 83.3 aft of datum Other operating Navy Technical Order 13-44 dated 2/7/44 (also see NOTE 3 for operating limitations) limitations LTC 25 Page 2 Certification basis Limited Type Certificate No. 25 (CAR 9 effective 11/21/1946) Production basis None may be produced under this approval Export eligibility Not eligible for a Certificate of Airworthiness for Export Equipment: No equipment other than engines and propellers are specified. However, such equipment as required by Civil Air Regulations Part 43.30 for the particular operation authorized for NC aircraft must be installed. Also, any additional equipment necessary for the proper operation of the aircraft. In addition, the aircraft may incorporate such military equipment (except armament) as was originally incorporated in the type for military or naval service. Additional equipment may be installed as can be substantiated on the basis that it presents no obvious hazard to safety. NOTE 1. Weight and Balance Report including list of equipment included in the certificated 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 the following: (a) Required equipment as defined under “Equipment” above. (b) 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. The equipment list must be prepared by the applicant for the approval of the certificating C.A.A. representative, and in such form that it can be attached to the C.A.A. Operation Limitations. NOTE 2. The following placards must be prominently displayed in the positions indicated: (a) In full view of passengers: "This is a military type aircraft and under the Civil Air Regulations shall not be used for the carriage of passengers or cargo for compensation or hire." (b) In the cockpit in full view of the pilot: Wing Flaps - Recommended do not lower above 150 mph. Landing Gear - Recommended do not lower above 172 mph. Maneuvers Prohibited: (a) Inverted flight, (b) With external wing tanks: Loops, snap rolls, chandelle, Immelman turn, spins. NOTE 3. The following statement must appear on the Operation Limitations: "This airplane must be operated at all times within the limitations set forth in the Pilots Operating Handbook, Technical Order No. 01-190FB-1, 9/15/45, except for limitations specifically called out in Aircraft Specification AL-25 in which case the values given in the Specification must be observed. A copy of Navy Technical Order 01- 190FB-1 and Aircraft Specification AL-25 must be carried during flight." In all cases it will be the responsibility of the applicant to secure copies of the Technical Orders. The C.A.A. does not have these documents available for distribution. NOTE 4. If any repairs or modifications are made prior to and/or subsequent to NL certification, it is the responsibility of the owner to furnish sufficient evidence to a C.A.A. representative to show that the modified airplane maintains the same degree of airworthiness as the original. The C.A.A. can give no technical assistance on such matters since complete structural data for NL aircraft are not required by Part 9 and therefore are not available in the C.A.A. NOTE 5. Prior to obtaining certification for "Night Flying" the following modifications to the exterior lighting must be made to comply with CAR, Part 15.2 and 3.538: (a) Position Lights (1) Wing Tip - If AN-3032 or AN-3033 light assemblies are not installed the wing lights should be replaced with type certificated lights. (2) Tail - The AN-3091 or AN-3092 light assemblies are unsatisfactory and must be replaced with a type certificated tail unit. (b) Position Light Circuit and Control The position lights (wing tips and tail) shall be controlled by one SPST switch. The circuit shall be protected by its own fuse or circuit breaker. The individual wing tip and tail light switches with dim and bright positions and the dimming resistors, presently installed, shall be removed. (c) Other Exterior Lights Any other exterior lights are not required and may be removed, if so desired. NOTE 6. On July 29, 2015 a search of all FAA files and records was conducted and no type design records were found. No original NL airworthiness certificates may be issued after 8/31/48. The list of mandatory changes required prior to original certification may be obtained from CAA Aircraft Service, Washington 25, D.C.
