B. Airplanes eligible for original airworthiness certification under Type Certificate TT00001AK
may be issued Certificates of Airworthiness in the Restricted Category for the special purpose
of carrying cargo. Airplanes for which such Certificates of Airworthiness have been issued
must be operated in compliance with the operating limitations for restricted category civil
aircraft specified in FAR 91.313.
C. The following placard must be displayed in front of and in clear view of the pilot(s):
THIS AIRPLANE MUST BE OPERATED AS A RESTRICTED CATEGORY
AIRPLANE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE OPERATING LIMITATIONS
STATED IN THE FORM OF PLACARDS, MARKINGS, AND MANUALS.
All placards required in the FAA approved Airplane Flight Manual and in the FAA approved
Airplane Flight Manual Avionics Supplement must be installed in the appropriate locations.
NOTE 3 All U.S. Navy Airframe Bulletins applicable to the C-1A airplane must be complied with prior to
original airworthiness certification of each airplane. Airplanes eligible for original airworthiness
certification under Type Certificate TT00001AK must be inspected, serviced, and maintained in
accordance with the Handbook of Inspection Requirements for Navy Model C-1A Aircraft,
NAVAIR 01-85SAA-506, the Handbook of Maintenance Instructions for Navy Models TS2A,
US2A, US2B, US2C, and C-1A Aircraft, NAVAIR 01-85SAA-2-2, and Navy letter entitled C-1A
Aircraft Service Life, Recommendation On, Department of the Navy Letter No. 5302B/APC Ser
7.2600, dated January 11,1980. The service life limit of C-1A airplanes eligible for original
airworthiness certification under Type Certificate TT00001AK has been established as 25,000
total flight hours including a maximum total of 3300 arrestments.
NOTE 4 Upon completion of the special purpose modifications required to bring the airplane into
compliance with the Restricted Category type design approved by Type Certificate TT00001AK,
the manufacturer’s nameplate on the airplane must be altered to include the C-1A designation and
to state that the airplane has been modified per TC TT00001AK. If the original nameplate is not
large enough to include this additional information, a similar plate containing the additional
information must be installed near the original plate. The original nameplate, and any other
nameplate(s) subsequently installed, must be left on the airplane.
