The certificated empty weight must include unusable fuel of 16.8 lbs. at gondola station 237.5. NOTE 4 Lycoming Engine Data Sheet No. 1E10, provides information on the engine maximum oil temperatures and oil fuel pressure limitations. NOTE 5 MT propeller Data Sheet No. P14BO, provides information on the propeller diameter and rotational speed limitations. NOTE 6 Option: Installation of Model A-1-70 Lightsign per American Blimp Corporation (ABC) Drawing "Lightsign Installation" Drawing Number 137000, Rev. B, dated January 13, 2006 or later FAA approved revision. Operational Limitations: Operate per ABC Flight Manual Supplement AFMS-18, dated March 7, 2006, or later FAA-approved revision. This modification is installed on an airship per ABC Service Bulletin 130, Rev. IR, “Lightsign Installation,” dated 1/30/7 or later FAA approved revision. NOTE 7 Option: Installation of Model A-1-70 Fixed Rudder Tab per American Blimp Corporation (ABC) Drawing " Rudder Tab Installation”, Drawing Number 126200-01, Rev.
