GENERAL LIMITATIONS
This Configuration Deviation List (CDL) contains additional limitations for the operation of Fairchild
SA226/SA227 airplanes without certain parts listed herein.
The associated limitations must be listed on a placard affixed to the pilot's instrument
panel, in clear view of the pilot.
The pilot in command will be notified of each operation with a missing part(s) by listing the missing
part(s) in the flight or dispatch release.
The operator will list in the aircraft logbook an appropriate notation covering the missing part(s) on
each flight.
If an additional part is lost in flight; the airplane may not depart the airport at which it landed following
this event, until it again complies with the limitation of this appendix. This, of course, does not preclude
the issuance of a ferry permit to allow the airplane to be flown to a point where the necessary repairs
or replacements can be made.
No more than one part of any one system in this appendix may be missing unless specifically designated combinations are indicated herein. Unless otherwise specified, parts from different systems
may be missing. The performance penalties are cumulative unless specifically designated penalties
for combination of missing parts are indicated.
Takeoff performance decrements are applicable to takeoff gross weights which are limited by structural
limit, field length, first segment climb, second segment climb, final segment climb, or takeoff flight path.
Landing performance decrements are applicable to landing gross weights which are limited by structural
limit, landing field length, landing climb, or approach climb.
En route performance decrements are applicable to operations which are limited by en route, reduced
number of engines operative climb performance.
The numbering and designation of systems in this appendix is based on ATA Spec. 100. The parts within
each system are identified by functional description and, when necessary, by part number.
