Aircraft equipment list

In general, check Part 23 for the required contents of the approved airplane flight manual or the Type Certifciate Data Sheet for the airplane. For Part 91 ops, tie that into 91.9.

(This question is generally asked with respect to the "W" in AROW but I think the answer is exactly the same)
 
23.1581 discusses what is required in the AFM:

http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/tex...view=text&node=14:1.0.1.3.10.7.106.27&idno=14

From 23.1583:
(h) Kinds of operation. A list of the kinds of operation to which the airplane is limited or from which it is prohibited under §23.1525, and also a list of installed equipment that affects any operating limitation and identification as to the equipment's required operational status for the kinds of operation for which approval has been given.

That was all I could find- maybe someone else can find the requirement.

Obviously airplanes built prior to the FAR 23 requirement for an AFM do not require this.
 
I'm pretty sure there is also an FAA order that deals with airworthiness and aircraft certification that may have some input on what is required in the AFM as well.

I learned it as ARROW and he made sure that I knew that there are two R's even though one is only needed for some international flying.

It doesn't seem relevant, but everytime I see one of those customs stickers on some of the planes I rent I always think "RADIO RADIO RADIO!"
 
Just think, some young whippersnapper on this board will someday be saying "I remember when it was 'position & hold'"

That sucks....

I still remember U.S WX before METAR, where you had FTs, SAs were the hourlys, and they were SPs or RSs when they were modified between the hours for something changing.

Heck, I can remember going into the FSS (there were 5 at the time in AZ), and the briefer would be taking the Prog or Radar Sum charts off the printer, marking them up with the colored markers, then tacking them to the board on top of the previous one(s).

Nowdays, I even do something like take the fuel drain sample, look at it, then toss it on the ramp; and you'd think I committed a capital crime!

Person: "Did....you...just throw avgas onto the ramp?"

Me: "Yeah, so what?"

Person: "You have to drain it into the coffee can! You cant' throw it on the ramp!"

Me: "What coffee can?"

Person: "The one hanging on the wall, over there..."

Me: "Where?"

Person: "Over there, about 50 yards, by the wall"

Me: "You want me to walk 50 yards to go throw out a 5 ounce sample of fuel in a coffee can?????"

:banghead:
 
In case Mike's post wasn't clear, it went away when the FCC dropped the requirement for one in US airspace. If you really like acronyms, you can keep it and put a parenthesis around it since you'll need to get one if you fly acoss the border.
 
The funny thing is that that is for the pilot and not the aircraft so technically AROW is still all you need as far as the aircraft goes.

If I'm not mistaken, as I recall, there are actually two requirements. One is a station license for the aircraft. The other is an operator's license for the pilot.
