NOTE 2. when item 206 is installed, the maximum allowable rear compartment baggage must be reduced 176 1bs. When items of optional equipment are installed in the baggage compartment, the compartments must be placarded for reduced capacities accordingly. Pertinent agent's report should indicate items so installed. When six passenger seats are removed (96 1bs.), the cabin may be loaded to a maximum weight of 1700 1bs. with a maximum of 25 lbs. per lineal inch, provided a weight and balance check is made.

Landplane - The wing tip floats may be renoved provided the airplane is placarded for use as landplane No C.G. check is required. Flying Boat - The landing gear and tail wheel, their retractive mechanisms and the brake operating system may be removed provided the airplane is placarded as a flying boat, and the support tubes, attachment bolts, etc., are installed so as to maintain The decrease in veight is approximately 300 lbs. C.G. check is required. NOTE 7. Maximun weight may be increased 48 lbs. when complete de-icer is installed. NOTE 8. Prior to certification as civii airplanes, the following should be accomplished: If uncertificated position lights are installed, they should be renoved or replaced vith certificated lights. (D) Remove the Navy MK IV-1 flares or modify the installation to accommodate approved flares in the Navy JRF airplanes. (c) If uncertificated flares are installed in Army OA-9 airplanes, they should be removed or replaced with certificated flares. (a) If plexiglass blisters are installed on the JRF-6B, they should be replaced with a regular window or the opening covered in a suitable manner. (e) If mixture control operation in reverse direction from standard civil practice is present in JRF-5 or JRF-SB airplanes, it should be changed to Jive a "forward" movement for full rich position. This may be accomplished by rotating the position of the mixture control pellcranks 180 degrees on the carburetors and reversing the toothed segments of the cockpit control end for end. The cockpit control placard should be revised accordingly. ``` ## ADs (11, in force first) - [AD 2005-18-20](https://openairdocs.org/ad/2005-18-20): "FASTprop" propeller de-icers · Hartzell PHC-C3YF-1RF/F8468A(B,K)-8R constant speed propeller (STC SA00718LA or 17 others).
