WARNING: The aft transient limit of 45.00% MAC is ONLY allowed
while the airplane is in the cargo drop condition (75 KIAS, 20° Flaps,
Maximum Bank Angle of 10°, level and coordinated ight). Flight tests
have been accomplished up to this transient CG limit to ensure safe
operation of the aircraft in a limited ight envelope (cargo drop condition
only). DO NOT exceed the aft transient limit of 84.02 inches aft of datum
(45.00% MAC) as the aircraft will become unstable and loss of control
may occur. The extended 45% CG limit for cargo drop operations applies
only at weights of 6750 lb and below. Cargo drop operations at weights
above 6750 lb must not exceed the 40% CG limit.
8. All loose equipment in the cabin must be secured or stowed during taxi,
takeoff, and landing.
9. Static line length (if used) must not exceed 135 inches and must allow a
minimum of 2 inches clearance between the open end of the deployment
bag and the leading edge of the horizontal tail.
10. To ensure head clearance from the internal grab bar, no passenger seats
may be installed on the left side of the aircraft aft of FS 123.
11. To ensure head clearance from the static line attachment (if equipped), no
passenger seats may be installed on the right side of the aircraft aft of the
crew seats.
12. While the door is open, safety harnesses must be worn by any passenger/
crewmember who is not seated with their seatbelts and shoulder harness
fastened. The safety harness must be tethered to a location in the aircraft
which would prevent the person from exiting the cargo door opening.
