L.10 Limitations-Operating Limitations
General
This chapter contains limitations on aircraft and systems operation pertinent to flight crew operation of the aircraft. It is not intended to include items peculiar to aircraft certification data, or information peculiar to other manuals on board the aircraft.
B-737NG aircraft must be operated in compliance with Certificate Limitations of the applicable FAA approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) and the Minimum Equipment List contained in the Aircraft Restrictions Manual and Mechanical Dispatch Manual (MDM) respectively.
Note: The pound symbol (#) indicates recall limitations. Recall limitations are those operationally significant limitations that must be committed to memory. Memorization is necessary because there are no placards, display indications, or markings indicating a limitation exists.
