should be maintained to assure continued airworthiness. If deviations from the installed equipment
were not permitted, or if the operating rules did not provide for various flight conditions, the airplane
could not be flown unless all equipment was operable. With appropriate limitations, the operation of
every system or component installed in the airplane is not necessary, when the remaining operative
instruments and equipment provide for continued safe operation. Operation in accordance with
limitations established to maintain airworthiness, can permit continued or uninterrupted operation of
the airplane temporarily.
For the sake of brevity, the Required Equipment listing does not include obviously required items such
as wings, rudders, flaps, engine, landing gear, etc. Also the list does not include items which do not
affect the airworthiness of the aircraft such as galley equipment, entertainment systems, passenger
convenience items, etc. However, it is important to note that ALL ITEMS WHICH ARE RELATED TO THE
AIRWORTHINESS OF THE AIRPLANE AND NOT INCLUDED ON THE LIST ARE AUTOMATICALLY REQUIRED
TO BE OPERATIVE
To enable the pilot to rapidly determine the FAA equipment requirements necessary for a flight into
specific conditions, the following equipment requirements and exceptions are presented. It is the final
responsibility of the pilot to determine whether the lack of/or inoperative status of a piece of
equipment on his airplane, will limit the conditions under which he may operate the airplane.
WARNING
Ice protection equipment which may be installed on this airplane has
not been demonstrated to meet requirements for flight into known
icing conditions.
