SECTION V − PERFORMANCE DATA (FAA Approved)
Aircraft performance as defined within certain conditions, such as airspeed,
weight, altitude, temperature, humidity, and wind velocity. Data is provided
in tabular or graph form to allow the pilot to determine the aircraft’s capa+
bilities in relation to the intended mission and prevailing conditions.
SECTION VI − WEIGHT AND BALANCE DATA
Provides aircraft weight and balance operational data in chart and table
form and provides examples that allow the pilot to accurately determine the
aircraft’s gross weight, and whether the load is within longitudinal and lat+

those with which the pilot may have direct involvement either while at his
normal base of operations or in the field.
SECTION VIII − ADDITIONAL OPERATIONS AND PERFORMANCE
DATA
The information provided in Section VIII is given by the manufacturer to
further assist the pilot in obtaining maximum utilization of the rotorcraft.
SECTION IX OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Certain optional equipment is available for performance of specific tasks. In
many cases the equipment is removable and may be used in combination
with other optional items. Whenever the installation of an option affects
FAA approved limitations, normal/emergency procedures or performance
(Sections II thru V), an FAA approval is required. In addition, a tabular
listing of all options is provided as well as a table showing the compatibility
of the various options with one another.
At the front of each section a table of contents lists the data by paragraph
number, title, and page number.
