NOTE 1.  Weight and balance report including list of equipment included in
certificated weight empty, and loading instructions when nacessary, must  be submitted for each aircraft with original inspection report and
subsequent report covering change in equipment.  Each airplane must be
weighted to determine its weight and balance prior to original certifi-
cation.
Prior to certification as a civil aircraft, the following must be
accomplished.

protectors must be accessible in flight.
Master Switch.  A master switch arrangement accessible to a crew
member in flight must be installed to provide disconnection of all
electrical power at a point near the power source (batteries and
generators) .  The ignition switch and system must be made independent
of the master switch and battery switch.
Fuel Tank Sump Drains.  Sump drains nust be modified so as to drain
clear of the nacelle structure.
Landing Flares.  All airplanes certificated for night operation nust
be provided with approved flares in accordance with cas J4.512 (c).

In the event any tanks are renoved or not intended to
be used, the fuel gauges should be checked for proper graduation and

to preclude setting the valve in the "unused" position.
tank filler caps or adjacent surfaces must be marked to indicate the
minimun octane fuel and the tank capacity, and in the case of the
the additional note "Fill rear fuel tanks first."

Instruments.  Instruments must be marked for approved operation
limitations.
A cylinder head temperature gauge must be installed and marked to
indicate a limiting temperature of 450 degrees F.
Each aircraft must satisfactorily pass an inspection for conformity,
possible hidden damage, and for workmanship and materials used in
making any repairs and/or alterations.  In making the inspection
for hidden damage, the outer wing panels must be removed to permit
the inspection of the doublers and  attaching angles for defects
and replacement thereof as needed in accordance with the Airworthi-
Directives for Douglas DC-3 series aircraft as are pertinent to
this aircraft.  If any changes have been made which would adversely
affect its flight characteristics, the particular airplane nust be
Any interior or exterior changes made to the primary structure or
equipment be either according to approved Douglas drawings or satis-
factorily substantiated.
Upon completion of the conversion to certificated status, the manu-
facturer's nameplate on the aircraft should be altered to include the
date of conversion.  In some cases the original nameplate is not
sufficiently large to include this additional information, a similar
plate should be installed near the original plate.

Fuel booster pump and propeller feathering pump circuits must
incorporate circuit breakers.
Approved position lights must be installed.
NOTE 3.  Eligible for certification at a takeoff weight of 27,500 lbs. with
passengers, provided a satisfactory fuel dumping  installation is made.
Requests regarding approval of such an installation should be addressed
to the FAA, P.O. Box 45007, Airport Station, Los Angeles, CA.
NOTE 4.  The following placards shall be placed on the instrument panel in
full view of the pilot.  The operating manual referred to in part (b)
shall be in the pilot's compartment at all tines.
(a)  Use booster pumps for takeoff and for all operations above 10,000 ft.
(b)  This airplane shall be operated in accordance with Part I of the
CAA approved operating manual for Douglas UC-67 airplanes.
(c)  Use fuel tanks 3 and 4 when using booster pumps (for aircraft
having 4 tank fuel system).
For airplanes in which the leveling lugs have been removed during
conversion to a civil status,  the use of a plunb bob dropped fron the
top to the bottom door sill at fuselage station 270.5 (+102) is considered
satisfactory.
