An inspection for workmanship, materials and conformity before
covering, metal priming or final finish is applied.
A final inspection of the completed aircraft.
A check of the flight characteristics.
NOTE 1. Curent weight and balance report including list of equipment
included in certificated weight empty, and loading instructions when
lecessary must be in each aircraft at the time of original certification
und at all times thereafter.
NOTE 2. The following placard must be displayed in the instrument panel
in full view of the pilots:
"Intentional spinning prohibited."
(b) When one or more passengers are carried the right front seat must
be occupied.
Due to loading considerations a full restriction placard in full

front fuselage, lower wing, upper wing (when installed) and rear
fuselage. Use in reverse order."
