Section 25.1581

General.

(a) Furnishing information. An Airplane Flight Manual must be furnished
with each airplane, and it must contain
the following:
(1) Information required by SectionSection 25.1583
through 25.1587.
(2) Other information that is necessary for safe operation because of design, operating, or handling characteristics.
(3) Any limitation, procedure, or
other information established as a condition of compliance with the applicable noise standards of part 36 of this
chapter.
(b) Approved information. Each part of
the manual listed in SectionSection 25.1583 through
25.1587, that is appropriate to the airplane, must be furnished, verified, and
approved, and must be segregated,
identified, and clearly distinguished
from each unapproved part of that
manual.
(c) [Reserved]
(d) Each Airplane Flight Manual
must include a table of contents if the
complexity of the manual indicates a
need for it.

Section 25.1583

Operating limitations.

(a) Airspeed limitations. The following
airspeed limitations and any other airspeed limitations necessary for safe operation must be furnished:
(1) The maximum operating limit
speed VMO/MMO and a statement that
this speed limit may not be deliberately exceeded in any regime of
flight (climb, cruise, or descent) unless
a higher speed is authorized for flight
test or pilot training.
(2) If an airspeed limitation is based
upon compressibility effects, a statement to this effect and information as
to any symptoms, the probable behavior of the airplane, and the recommended recovery procedures.
(3) The maneuvering speed established under Section 25.1507 and statements,
as applicable to the particular design,
explaining that:
(i) Full application of pitch, roll, or
yaw controls should be confined to
speeds below the maneuvering speed;
and
(ii) Rapid and large alternating control inputs, especially in combination
with large changes in pitch, roll, or
yaw, and full control inputs in more
than one axis at the same time, should
be avoided as they may result in structural failures at any speed, including
below the maneuvering speed.
(4) The flap extended speed VFE and
the pertinent flap positions and engine
powers.
(5) The landing gear operating speed
or speeds, and a statement explaining
the speeds as defined in Section 25.1515(a).
(6) The landing gear extended speed
VLE, if greater than VLO, and a statement that this is the maximum speed
at which the airplane can be safely
flown with the landing gear extended.
(b) Powerplant limitations. The following information must be furnished:
(1) Limitations required by Section 25.1521
and Section 25.1522.
(2) Explanation of the limitations,
when appropriate.
(3) Information necessary for marking the instruments required by
SectionSection 25.1549 through 25.1553.
(c) Weight and loading distribution.
The weight and center of gravity limitations established under Section 25.1519 must
be furnished in the Airplane Flight
