A typical AFM may contain the following sections:

  • Section 4: Normal Procedures
  • Section 5: Performance
  • Section 6: Weight and Balance

The Limitations section contains only those limitations required by regulation or that are necessary for the safe operation of the aircraft, powerplant, systems, and equipment. It includes operating limitations (such as CG and Load limits), instrument markings, color-coding and basic placards.
