For Lu,
If you think an unnumbered page that is not specifically signed is somehow unusual or an indication of some shady activity, you have my condolences, the world must look a dark and dirty place. Take care with the information panel on your box of Wheaties, it is neither numbered nor signed.
The RFM numbered parts I refer to are thaose that are in the recommended GAMA format, which is not required by FAA. All of the RFM must be submitted to the FAA, and all the Op Limits, Normal Procedures, Emergency Procedures, and Performance data must be specifically approved by the FAA.
For Sassless, et al,
Regarding H-V, the FAA was a mixed bag, with unifirmity imposed only recently, thanks to the guidence of the Rotorcraft Directorate in Ft. Worth. The HV is required information, but is now supposed to be put in the Performance section. The actual HV data is only a useful guideline, since it is dependant on the weight, altitude, wind and temperature, as well as the amount of engine power above spec that the aircraft has available. There is no absolute information on HV that would be useful to an operating pilot because the limiting behavior changes with small changes in the above criteria. It is useful in helping the pilot estimate the behavior of his machine, but that is all.
We were told to place the 76A HV in the limits section, and we obeyed, other regions were allowed to place their HV diagrams in the Perf section.
