Get a grip. I've done a few STCs including one for a floatplane and the associated flight manual supplements. Think about what you have just said. The TCDS dated at 26 encompass floatplanes which are fitted with edo and similarly for limited agricultural applications. There is nothing for wipline. Flight manuals and the scope of their contents are an operational matter and are controlled by operational requirements which feed into the regs in various countries. In Australia they were the 20.7 series of ANO/CAO, in America, FAR91, FAR121. For instance if the Flight Manual for the domestic certification of the DHC-2 had been written in English and French, a lot of countries would have required the french bit to be removed. The TCDS words are specifying that data shall be sufficient to produce a flight manual. Modern TCDS now specify a part number for the flight manual for the country of origin. Flight manuals for other countries get their own part number once the NAA for that country has decided what it actually wants in said manual. I say again, the Australian flight manual produced in Australia had little resemblance to its overseas counterpart and is not the generic manual quoted in the TCDS
