  (5)   The written statement must list any requirements mentioned in paragraph   (4)(d) that are not met.

  (6)   Each application for export airworthiness approval of a Class I product must include the following, as applicable:

Weight and balance reports

  (8)   Any changes in equipment that are made after the actual weighing of the aircraft (except changes classes as major changes) may be accounted for on a "computed" basis and the report revised accordingly.

  (9)   Manufacturers of new non - transport category aeroplanes, normal category rotorcraft or gliders may include computed weight and balance data in the report, instead of the results of an actual weighing of the aircraft, if fleet weight control procedures approved by CASA have been established for the aircraft. In this case, the following statement must be included in each report: "The weight and balance data shown in this report are computed on the basis of CASA's approved procedures for establishing fleet weight averages.".

  (10)   A weight and balance report must include an equipment list showing weights and moment arms of all required and optional items of equipment that are included in the certificated empty weight.
