The new AC 90-89C has a statement on the first page that says:
“You should add flight test operational and performance data to the Aircraft Operating Handbook (AOH) so you can reference the data prior to each flight”
Do you think this means that we are required to have an Operating Handbook? Maybe that’s up to the FAA or DAR inspector that certifies your airplane, and is in addition to the Operating Limitations given after a successful inspection. I’m not saying it’s a bad idea - I have one that I’ve plagiarized from others on this site and added my own data - but is it a requirement? Mine is called a POH. Same thing I guess.
I haven’t read all 130 pages, so maybe the answer is in there somewhere.
