43.13 VS DATA

[AVIATION]

IN THE 43.13 11-33 IT SAYS NOT TO EXCEED 80% LOAD LIMITS OF THE GENERATOR.
CAN YOU USE THE MANUFACTURER DATA OF THE GENERATOR AS THE LIMIT?

[Denny of Oakland]

Not knowing which aircraft you are working with you should always use the manufacturer's data first. If there is no data in most cases you can default to AC 43.13-1B as acceptable data for load limits.

However make sure the aircraft has not been modified by a FAA Form 337 altertion and if it has that has to be taken into account.
