(see Certification Basis), must be installed in the helicopter for certification. In
addition, the following FAA approved rotorcraft flight manual is required: Kaman K-
1200 Helicopter Rotorcraft Flight Manual.
TR7BO 4 of 5
- NOTES -
NOTE 1: A current weight and balance report, including list of equipment included in
certificated empty weight and loading instructions when necessary, must be provided
for each helicopter at the time of original certification.
See FAA-approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual loading section for fuel weight and
moment-arm variations with fuel type and fuel quantity.
NOTE 2: All placards required in the FAA-approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual must be installed
in the appropriate locations. The following placard must be displayed in front of and
in clear view of the pilot:
"THIS AIRCRAFT MUST BE OPERATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
OPERATING LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED IN THE FAA APPROVED
FLIGHT MANUAL."
NOTE 3: Information essential to the proper maintenance of the helicopter is contained in the
Kaman Model K-1200 K-MAX Maintenance and Servicing Instructions, Manual
KMM, provided with each helicopter. The values of retirement (service) life contained
in Chapter 4 or inspection intervals cannot be increased without FAA engineering
approval.
NOTE 4: See Section 10 of the FAA-approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual for the complete listing
of approved Jet A, Jet A-1, Jet B, Mil-T-5624 and all equivalent fuels. Equivalent
fuel: MIL-T-83133, Grade JP-8, may also be used. Use of kerosene fuels (JP-4 or JP-
5) should be avoided when starting at ambient temperatures below -12°C (10°F).
Commercial fuels made to conform to ASTM Specification D 1655 do not contain
anti-icing additives unless specified by bulk purchaser. Care must be taken with these
fuels with respect to water contamination and flight conditions.
NOTE 5: Anti-icing, anti-corrosion and biocidal additives specified in Section 10 of the FAA-
approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual may be used singly or in any combination. The
specified additives should not be added to fuel MIL-T-5624, Grades JP-4 and JP-5, or
to fuel MIL-T-83133, Grade JP-8, since they are already present in these fuels.
NOTE 6: Approved engine oil brands are listed in Section 10 of the FAA-approved Rotorcraft
Flight Manual
NOTE 7: The helicopter is certificated in the Restricted Category (Approved June 9, 1995),
under FAR 21.25, for the special operations of:
Agriculture as defined in FAR 137.3;
Dispensing of fire fighting materials; and
Carrying external loads as defined in FAR 133.1(b).
The special purpose operations may be conducted in the Restricted Category at
maximum weights above 6,000 pounds up to and including 6,500 pounds. The aircraft
marking requirements of FAR 45.21 and 45.23 applicable to the Restricted Category
must be met.
5 of 5 TR7BO
NOTE 8: Grant of Exemption No. 6433, dated April 25, 1996, allows increase in maximum
gross weight from 6,000 pounds to 6,500 pounds while maintaining the original
Normal Category rotorcraft certification. The exemption is subject to the following
conditions and limitations:
The design of the helicopter cannot be changed to add passengers as
part of the gross weight increase.
Prior to exercising the privileges of this exemption, each K-1200
helicopter (for which exemption is sought) and all modifications made
to it, must meet the requirements established in the current certification
basis, at the increased gross weight. This includes any special
requirements for certification; i.e., equivalent levels of safety and
special conditions that may have been issued to complete certification.
All operations above 6,000 pounds must be limited to agricultural
operations as defined in FAR 137.3; dispensing fire fighting materials;
or carrying external loads as defined in FAR 133.1(b); unless a part 36
noise test is conducted prior to increasing the gross weight above 6,000
pounds.
NOTE 9: Operation under the instrument flight rules (IFR) of Appendix B of FAR 27 approved
May 14, 1999 for Serial Numbers A94-0002 through A94-0038 only. See FAA-
approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual for limitations, operational requirements, required
equipment, and weight-and-balance considerations.
NOTE 10: A personnel carrying device system (PCDS) for carrying human external cargo (HEC)
was approved February 13, 1998. The PCDS is limited to carriage of personnel
defined in FAR 133.35(a). See FAA-approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual for
limitations, operational requirements, and weight-and-balance considerations.
NOTE 11: Original certification basis limited maximum weight to 6,000 pounds or less.
Restricted Category (see Note 7) permitted operation to 6,500 pounds pending Grant
of Exemption No. 6433 (see Note 8). FAR, Part 27, amendment 37, changed the
maximum weight to 7,000 pounds or less. Maximum weight of 7,000 pounds without
external load approved June 23, 2005.
