ence;
(2) Aircraft performance data to in-
clude normal, abnormal and emergency
procedures as supplied by the aircraft
manufacturer;

Recordkeeping.
(a) Each program manager must keep
at its principal base of operations or at
other places approved by the Adminis-
trator, and must make available for in-
spection by the Administrator all of
the following:
(1) The program manager’s manage-
ment specifications.
(2) A current list of the aircraft used
or available for use in operations under
this subpart, the operations for which
each is equipped (for example, RNP5/10,
RVSM.).
(3) An individual record of each pilot
used in operations under this subpart,
including the following information:
(i) The full name of the pilot.
(ii) The pilot certificate (by type and
number) and ratings that the pilot
holds.
(iii) The pilot’s aeronautical experi-
ence in sufficient detail to determine
the pilot’s qualifications to pilot air-
craft in operations under this subpart.
(iv) The pilot’s current duties and the
date of the pilot’s assignment to those
duties.
(v) The effective date and class of the
medical certificate that the pilot
holds.
(vi) The date and result of each of the
initial and recurrent competency tests
and proficiency checks required by this
subpart and the type of aircraft flown
during that test or check.
(vii) The pilot’s flight time in suffi-
cient detail to determine compliance
with the flight time limitations of this
subpart.
(viii) The pilot’s check pilot author-
ization, if any.
(ix) Any action taken concerning the
pilot’s release from employment for
physical or professional disqualifica-
tion; and

(5) A current list of all fractional
owners and associated aircraft. This

tail to determine the minimum frac-
tional ownership interest of each air-
craft.
(b) Each program manager must keep
each record required by paragraph
(a)(2) of this section for at least 6
months, and must keep each record re-
quired by paragraphs (a)(3) and (a)(4) of

and (a)(4) of this section must be re-
tained for at least 12 months.

and must include—
(1) The number of passengers;
(2) The total weight of the loaded air-
craft;
(3) The maximum allowable takeoff
weight for that flight;
(4) The center of gravity limits;
(5) The center of gravity of the load-
ed aircraft, except that the actual cen-
ter of gravity need not be computed if
the aircraft is loaded according to a
loading schedule or other approved
method that ensures that the center of
gravity of the loaded aircraft is within
approved limits. In those cases, an
entry must be made on the manifest in-
dicating that the center of gravity is
