§ 125.213 Miscellaneous equipment. 

No person may conduct any oper-

ation unless the following equipment is 
installed in the airplane: 

(a) If protective fuses are installed on 

an airplane, the number of spare fuses 
approved for the airplane and appro-
priately described in the certificate 
holder’s manual. 

(b) A windshield wiper or equivalent 

for each pilot station. 

(c) A power supply and distribution 

system that meets the requirements of 
§§ 25.1309, 25.1331, 25.1351 (a) and (b) (1) 
through (4), 25.1353, 25.1355, and 
25.1431(b) or that is able to produce and 
distribute the load for the required in-
struments and equipment, with use of 
an external power supply if any one 
power source or component of the 
power distribution system fails. The 
use of common elements in the system 
may be approved if the Administrator 
finds that they are designed to be rea-
sonably protected against malfunc-
tioning. Engine-driven sources of en-
ergy, when used, must be on separate 
engines. 

(d) A means for indicating the ade-

quacy of the power being supplied to 
required flight instruments. 

(e) Two independent static pressure 

systems, vented to the outside atmos-
pheric pressure so that they will be 
least affected by air flow variation or 
moisture or other foreign matter, and 
installed so as to be airtight except for 

the vent. When a means is provided for 
transferring an instrument from its 
primary operating system to an alter-
native system, the means must include 
a positive positioning control and must 
be marked to indicate clearly which 
system is being used. 

(f) A placard on each door that is the 

means of access to a required passenger 
emergency exit to indicate that it 
must be open during takeoff and land-
ing. 

(g) A means for the crew, in an emer-

gency, to unlock each door that leads 
to a compartment that is normally ac-
cessible to passengers and that can be 
locked by passengers. 

§ 125.215 Operating information re-

quired. 

(a) The operator of an airplane must 

provide the following materials, in cur-
rent and appropriate form, accessible 
to the pilot at the pilot station, and 
the pilot shall use them: 

(1) A cockpit checklist. 
(2) An emergency cockpit checklist 

containing the procedures required by 
paragraph (c) of this section, as appro-
priate. 

(3) Pertinent aeronautical charts. 
(4) For IFR operations, each perti-

nent navigational en route, terminal 
area, and approach and letdown chart; 

(5) One-engine-inoperative climb per-

formance data and, if the airplane is 
approved for use in IFR or over-the-top 
operations, that data must be suffi-
cient to enable the pilot to determine 
that the airplane is capable of carrying 
passengers over-the-top or in IFR con-
ditions at a weight that will allow it to 
climb, with the critical engine inoper-
ative, at least 50 feet a minute when 
operating at the MEA’s of the route to 
be flown or 5,000 feet MSL, whichever is 
higher. 

(b) Each cockpit checklist required 

by paragraph (a)(1) of this section must 
contain the following procedures: 

(1) Before starting engines; 
(2) Before take-off; 
(3) Cruise; 
(4) Before landing; 
(5) After landing; 
(6) Stopping engines.
