§ 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.

when otherwise considered to be nec-
essary by the pilot in command.

lighted nor may any passenger or crew-
member smoke in any lavatory.

instructions given him or her by crew-
members regarding compliance with
