Description: Aircraft Information Manual Disclaimer FAR §21.5(a) mandates all aircraft "Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual and having no flight time before March 1, 1979, the holder of a type certificate (including amended or supplemental type certificates) or the licensee of a type certificate must make available to the owner at the time of delivery of the aircraft a current approved Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual." In short, all aircraft that were sold as new as of that date must have a serial number-specific manual applicable to that specfic airframe. The manual must be issued directly from the manufacturer with the serial number shown on the cover page with an authorized signature an the agent of the Federal Aviation Administration. The Airplane Information Manuals we sell does not satisfy this mandates. The manufacturer is the ONLY source for the serial number-specif Airplane Flight Manual. We may assist as requested in obtaining this manual. The typical cost may vary from a few hundred to well over a thousand dollars. The reason for this high cost is to cover the creation of the manual as well as the manufacturer's liability attached in its creation. A Bit of Education on Flight Manuals! Frequently, the terminalogy of flight manuals is tossed around and confused by most pilots, instructors and even those writing them. Airplane Flight Manual (AFM): The AFM is a document developed by the airplane manufacturer and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) It is specific to a particular make and model airplane by serial number and it contains operating procedures and limitations which meet the requirements of FAR 21.5 (Shown below) Pilot Operating Handbook (POH): The POH is a document developed by the airplane manufacturer and contains the FAA approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) information The term "POH" came into existence in the mid-1970s as a result of AOPA's and GAMA's efforts to standardize and expand information contained in the owner's manuals or information manuals of the day Airplane Owner/Pilot Information Manual (PIM): ← This is what we sell! The PIM is a document developed by the airplane manufacturer containing general information about the make and model of an airplane The airplane owner’s manual is not FAA-approved and is not specific to a particular serial numbered airplane This manual is not kept current, and therefore cannot be substituted for the AFM/POH It is often used as a way to learn and review aircraft information without removing legal information from the aircraft An example of the "POH" might be a manual package or case which includes the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) and a manual for the Garmin G1000 or other equipment manual which may be required to be on board. With exception of older manuals prior to the min-1970s they are laid out in a very specific order shown as follows: Section 1: General: Provides overall information about the aircraft which includes such things as an overview of the engine and propeller, type of fuel it can carry, max weights and standard dimensions Section 2: Limitations: Provides the FAA approved operating limitations, instrument markings, color coding and basic placards necessary for the safe operation of the airplane its system Section 3: Emergency Procedures: Section provides the recommended procedures for coping with various emergency or critical situations This section is divided into two parts: The first part provides an emergency procedure checklist These supply immediate action sequence to be followed during critical situations with little emphasis on the operation systems) The second part of this section provides the amplified emergency procedures corresponding to the emergency procedures checklist items These contain additional information to provide the pilot with a more complete description of the procedures so they could be more easily understood Section 4: Normal Procedures: All normal operating procedures for that aircraft Two parts similar to the emergency procedures section Section 5: Performance: All of the required and complementary performance information applicable to this aircraft Examples can be found on our performance calculations page Section 6: Weight and Balance: Necessary tables and calculations to determine aircraft stability A weight and balance explanation can be found here Section 7: Description and Operation of the Airplane and its Systems: A general overview of the systems that can and mostly are installed on the aircraft Section 8: Airplane Handling, Servicing and Maintenance: Meant to provide a guideline for handling, servicing, and maintenance for the aircraft Section 9: Supplements: This section provides information in the form of supplements which are necessary for efficient operation of the airplane when equipped with one or more of the various operational systems and equipment not approved with the standard alone Section 10: Operating Tips: Provide particular tips to that aircraft (Usually not included in smaller aircraft.) 14 CFR §21.5 — Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual. (a) With each airplane or rotorcraft not type certificated with an Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual and having no flight time before March 1, 1979, the holder of a type certificate (including amended or supplemental type certificates) or the licensee of a type certificate must make available to the owner at the time of delivery of the aircraft a current approved Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual. (b) The Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual required by paragraph (a) of this section must contain the following information:(1) The operating limitations and information required to be furnished in an Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual or in manual material, markings, and placards, by the applicable regulations under which the airplane or rotorcraft was type certificated. (2) The maximum ambient atmospheric temperature for which engine cooling was demonstrated must be stated in the performance information section of the Flight Manual, if the applicable regulations under which the aircraft was type certificated do not require ambient temperature on engine cooling operating limitations in the Flight Manual.
