18, 1989, unless otherwise noted.

§ 91.601

Applicability.

This subpart applies to operation of

large and transport category U.S.-reg-
istered civil aircraft.

§ 91.603

Aural speed warning device.

No person may operate a transport

category airplane in air commerce un-
less that airplane is equipped with an
aural speed warning device that com-
plies with § 25.1303(c)(1).

§ 91.605

Transport category civil air-

plane weight limitations.

(a) No person may take off any trans-

port category airplane (other than a
turbine-engine-powered airplane cer-
tificated after September 30, 1958) un-
less—

(1) The takeoff weight does not ex-

ceed the authorized maximum takeoff
weight for the elevation of the airport
of takeoff;

(2) The elevation of the airport of

takeoff is within the altitude range for
which maximum takeoff weights have
been determined;

(3) Normal consumption of fuel and

oil in flight to the airport of intended
landing will leave a weight on arrival
not in excess of the authorized max-
imum landing weight for the elevation
of that airport; and

(4) The elevations of the airport of in-

tended landing and of all specified al-
ternate airports are within the altitude
range for which the maximum landing
weights have been determined.

(b) No person may operate a turbine-

engine-powered transport category air-
plane certificated after September 30,
1958, contrary to the Airplane Flight
Manual, or take off that airplane un-
less—

(1) The takeoff weight does not ex-

ceed the takeoff weight specified in the

§ 91.607

Airplane Flight Manual for the ele-
vation of the airport and for the ambi-
ent temperature existing at the time of
takeoff;

(2) Normal consumption of fuel and

oil in flight to the airport of intended
landing and to the alternate airports
will leave a weight on arrival not in ex-
cess of the landing weight specified in
the Airplane Flight Manual for the ele-
vation of each of the airports involved
and for the ambient temperatures ex-
pected at the time of landing;

(3) The takeoff weight does not ex-

ceed the weight shown in the Airplane
Flight Manual to correspond with the
minimum distances required for take-
off, considering the elevation of the
airport, the runway to be used, the ef-
fective runway gradient, the ambient
temperature and wind component at
the time of takeoff, and, if operating
limitations exist for the minimum dis-
tances required for takeoff from wet
runways, the runway surface condition
(dry or wet). Wet runway distances as-
sociated with grooved or porous fric-
tion course runways, if provided in the
Airplane Flight Manual, may be used
only for runways that are grooved or
treated with a porous friction course
(PFC) overlay, and that the operator
determines are designed, constructed,
and maintained in a manner acceptable
to the Administrator.

(4) Where the takeoff distance in-

cludes a clearway, the clearway dis-
tance is not greater than one-half of—

(i) The takeoff run, in the case of air-

planes certificated after September 30,
1958, and before August 30, 1959; or

(ii) The runway length, in the case of

airplanes certificated after August 29,
1959.

engine-powered transport category air-
plane certificated after August 29, 1959,
unless, in addition to the requirements
of paragraph (b) of this section—

(1) The accelerate-stop distance is no

greater than the length of the runway
plus the length of the stopway (if
present); and

(2) The takeoff distance is no greater

than the length of the runway plus the
length of the clearway (if present); and

(3) The takeoff run is no greater than

the length of the runway.

carrying passengers for hire.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provi-

sion of this chapter, no person may op-

than the number of occupants—

(1) Allowed under Civil Air Regula-

tions § 4b.362 (a), (b), and (c) as in effect

or SR–389B, or under this section as in
effect.

However, an airplane type listed in the
following table may be operated with
up to the listed number of occupants
(including crewmembers) and the cor-
responding number of exits (including
emergency exits and doors) approved
for the emergency exit of passengers or
with an occupant-exit configuration
approved under paragraph (b) or (c) of
this section.
