the rotorcraft during its type certification.
(2) Center of gravity. The location of
the center of gravity must, for all loading conditions, be within the range established for the rotorcraft during its
type certification. For Class C rotorcraft-load combinations, the magnitude and direction of the loading
force must be established at those values for which the effective location of
the center of gravity remains within
its established range.

Operating limitations.

In addition to the operating limitations set forth in the approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual, and to any other
limitations the Administrator may
prescribe, the operator shall establish
at least the following limitations and
set them forth in the Rotorcraft-Load
Combination Flight Manual for rotorcraft-load combination operations:
(a) The rotorcraft-load combination
may be operated only within the
weight and center of gravity limitations established in accordance with
Section 133.43(c).
(b) The rotorcraft-load combination
may not be operated with an external
load weight exceeding that used in
showing compliance with SectionSection 133.41 and
133.43.
(c) The rotorcraft-load combination
may not be operated at airspeeds great-

er than those established in accordance
with Section 133.41 (b), (c), and (d).
(d) No person may conduct an external-load operation under this part with
a rotorcraft type certificated in the restricted category under Section 21.25 of this
chapter over a densely populated area,
in a congested airway, or near a busy
airport where passenger transport operations are conducted.
(e) The rotorcraft-load combination
of Class D may be conducted only in
accordance with the following:
(1) The rotorcraft to be used must
have been type certificated under
transport Category A for the operating
weight and provide hover capability
with one engine inoperative at that operating weight and altitude.
(2) The rotorcraft must be equipped
to allow direct radio intercommunication among required crewmembers.
(3) The personnel lifting device must
be FAA approved.
(4) The lifting device must have an
emergency release requiring two distinct actions.

and submit it for approval by the Administrator. The manual must be prepared in accordance with the rotorcraft
flight manual provisions of subpart G
of part 27 or 29 of this chapter, whichever is applicable. The limiting heightspeed envelope data need not be listed
as operating limitations. The manual
must set forth - 
(a) Operating limitations, procedures
(normal and emergency), performance,
and other information established
under this subpart;
(b) The class of rotorcraft-load combinations for which the airworthiness
of the rotorcraft has been demonstrated in accordance with SectionSection 133.41
and 133.43; and
(c) In the information section of the
Rotorcraft-Load Combination Flight
Manual -
