Narrative:

Requested permission from the tower to do a flyby for the air show. Flew down the ILS approach path to 300' clean at approximately 200 KTS. 1/3 of the way down runway 36L we made a climbing right turn and re-entered the traffic pattern for a landing. About 3 hours after landing, we were advised by the FAA that they had received no performance package for the flyby. We, nor airline B, nor airline C, were aware of any such requirement. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following: confirmed that the 'performance package' required in this incident is not indicated in FARS or any information circular. The 'performance package' is to be submitted by the airline to the FAA and describes the maneuver to be flown by the air carrier aircraft, and provides proof of the ability of the aircraft to perform the maneuver within the limits of the aircraft performance manual. The FAA, upon approval, provides a hand written waiver to the part 121 operations specifications.
