(see Certification Basis) must be installed in the aircraft for certification.

In addition, the following items of equipment are required:

1. Stall warning lift transducer, P/N 101-380005-9, and lift computer,

P/N 101-380005-17.
2. Maximum allowable airspeed indicator, P/N 109-384003-3, Pilot's and

except LA-202.
4. Pilot's Operating Handbook, P/N 109-590010-57, S/N LA-202, LA-205 and on.

Data Pertinent to All Models

NOTE 1. Current weight and balance data, loading information and a list of equipment included in basic empty weight must
be provided for each airplane at the time of original certification.

(a) Basic empty weight includes unusable fuel of 41 lbs. at (+157) in.) with 9 lbs. being undrainable.
(b) Basic empty weight includes engine oil of 58 lbs. at (+92 in.)

NOTE 2. All placards required in the FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) must be installed in the appropriate
location.

NOTE 3. Mandatory retirement times for all structural components are contained in the Limitation Section, Chapter 4, of
the FAA Approved Beechcraft F90 Maintenance Manual. These limitations may not be changed without FAA
Approval.

NOTE 4. The maximum propeller shaft overspeed limit is 110 percent (2090 rpm). 100 percent propeller shaft speed is
defined as 1900 rpm and is the normal steady state operating limit. Gas generator speeds up to 102.6 percent are
permissible for 2 seconds and to 101.5 percent for unlimited periods subject to applicable temperature and other
limits. 100 percent gas generator speed is defined as 37,500 rpm.

NOTE 5. (a) Flight idle propeller low pitch is set so that at 1800 rpm there shall be an indicated 600 ±40 ft.-lb. torque
corrected to sea level standard day.
(b) Secondary flight and ground low pitch stop is set so that at 1800 rpm there shall be an indicated torque
of 350 ±40 ft.-lb. torque corrected to sea level standard day.

NOTE 6. Emergency use of MIL-G-5572:

Grades 80/87, 91/98, 100/130 and 115/145 are permitted for a total time period not to exceed 150 hours’ time
between engine overhaul periods. It is not necessary to purge the unused fuel from the system when switching
