SECTION IX OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT (FAA Approved)
Certain optional equipment is available for performance of specific tasks. In

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
