But really, where are your facts?
See above post....

It is a fact that 100 Octane will be included in the Notes on the Merlin Engine section of the Operating Notes when it becomes the standard. Until then, any aircraft using the fuel will be operating under a special issuance Notes on the Merlin Engine for that specific aircraft.

That is how it worked then and how it works today.

By convention, all flight manuals include a single page reference to the engine operating limits.

Keep in mind, we are looking at what is called an Information Manual on these aircraft. Every aircraft has a set of Operating Notes issued with it by serial number that covers that specific aircraft. They stay with that aircraft throughout its lifespan. It is the pilots and maintenance personnel's job to keep that serial numbered Operating Notes updated for that specific airframe.

The information manual is republished periodically to incorporate all updates for the type but is not specific to an airframe.

When the information manual reflects 100 Octane, then all operational aircraft of the type can use it.
