AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS
DESCRIPTION

CAUTION: OPERATORS ARE REQUIRED BY FAA TO COMPLY WITH THE PARTS LIFE LIMITATIONS
INDICATED HEREIN. THE OPERATOR ALONE MUST MAINTAIN RECORDS OIF BOTH
HOURS AND CYCLES. BOTH TOTAL TIME AND ACCUMULATED CYCLES OF:
APPLICABLE COMPONENTS MUST BE RECORDED IN PART I SERVICE RECORD AND
PART VI CYCLE RECORD PAGES RESPECTIVELY FOR THE COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY
AND TURBINE ASSEMBLY. SHOULD THE CYCLE COUNTER BECOME INADVERTENTLY
DISCONNECTED, STOP COUNTING, OR COUNT TOO MANY OR TOO FEW CYCLES, THE
CORRECT NUMBER OF CYCLES MUST STILL BE COUNTED. FAILURE TO RECORD
HOUR AND CYCLIC DATA OF APPLICABLE PARTS IN THE LOG BOOK WILL RESULT IN
THOSE PARTS BEING REPLACED AT THE OPERATORS EXPENSE WHEN ENGINES OR
COMPONENTS ARE RETURNED FOR REPAIR OR OVERHAUL. REFER TO PARAGRAPH
12 LOG BOOK ENTRIES, FOR AN EXPLANATION OF LOG BOOK ENTRIES PERTAINING
TO CYCLE AND HOUR RECORDS ON LIFE LIMITED PARTS.
NOTE: All Life Limited Parts removed from a type certificated product must be tagged to identify the
part. The tag or record must include the part number, serial number and current life status of
the part, hours, and cycles. Each time the part is removed, either a new tag or record must be
created, or the existing tag or record must be updated with the current life status of the part.
The tag or record must remain with the part at all times when not installed.

I
When a life limited part is removed from service due to meeting the published life limits,
vibropeen or etch the words life expired next to or under the part number. A life limited part,
other than new (however, proper paper work to provide traceability is still required), must have
a tag or record attached.

1 Airworthiness Limitations

A. Chapter 05-l O-00 and Tables 9 and 10, Chapter 72-OO-OO,Engine-Description and Operation,
contain FAA approved operating limitations for those engine parts that are life limited. Parts life
limits are based on either total hours or total cycles, whichever occurs first. A cycle is defined as
a start or start attempt. The operator is assisted in maintaining a cycle count by means of an en-
gine furnished counter which will record the number of times the ignition exciter is energized. (It
is considered that the number of times the ignition exciter is energized and lightoff does not occur
is negligible.)

NOTE-
-- Refer to Tables 9 and 10, Chapter 72-00-00, Engine-Description and Operation, for
Time Between Overhaul (TBO) limits on the 250-B17F Series Engine.

B. Operating hours, with respect to maintenance records, is defined as the time from the moment an
aircraft leaves the surface of the earth until it touches at the next point of landing.

CAUTION: WHILE CONSIDERABLE LABORATORY DATA IS AVAILABLE TO DEMONSTRATE
THE COMPATIBILITY OF ONE SYNTHETIC TURBINE OIL WITH OTHER TURBINE
OILS MEETING THE SAME SPECIFICATION (EXPERIENCE ALSO DEMONSTRATES
THIS PROPERTY), THE INDISCRIMINATE MIXING OF APPROVED OILS DURING
THE OPERATIONAL USE OF THE OIL IS NOT RECOMMENDED. HOWEVER, THERE
MAY BE CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE EMERGENCY TOP-OFF, INADVERTENT
MIXING, OR CHANGEOVER BY TOP-OFF TO ANOTHER BRAND MAY OCCUR.
THESE ARE ACCEPTED PRACTICES.
CAUTION: REMOVE AND INSPECT THE OIL FILTER AFTER THE FIRST 25 HOURS OF ENGINE
OPERATION IF THE TYPE OF OIL (MIL-PRF-7808, MIL-PRF-236!39, OR
DOD-85734) IS CHANGED. REPEAT THE FILTER INSPECTION EACH 25 HOURS AS
REQUIRED UNTIL EXCESSIVE CARBON PARTICLE ACCUMULATION SUBSIDES.
CAUTION: THE FILTER INSPECTION IS TO DETERMINE IF COKE, WHICH WAS FORMED
DURING PREVIOUS OPERATION, IS BEING DISLODGED DURING THE FIRST
OPERATION FOLLOWING THE OIL CHANGE.
CAUTION: IF HEAVY CARBON DEPOSITS ARE OBSERVED ON THE ENGINE FILTER, IT IS
SUGGESTED THAT THE ENGINE OIL BE CHANGED AGAIN. THE OIL IS TO BE
DRAINED WHEN THE OIL IS HOT TO OBTAIN THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT. THE 25
HOUR OIL MONITORING IS TO CONTINUE UNTIL THE NEXT OIL CHANGE PERIOD.
CAUTION: USE OF OILS WHICH ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE APPROVED OILS LISTING, OR
FAILURE TO DRAIN OIL WITHIN THE PRESCRIBED INTERVAL GIVEN IN TABLE 604,
72-00-00, ENGINE-INSPECTION/CHECK WILL BE CONSIDERED AS MISUSE
UNDER ITEM (4) OF THE WARRANTY POLICY.
C. Oil Specification
The 250 series engines are qualified and certified for use with only certain MIL--PRF-7808G and
subsequent, MIL-PRF-23699 series and DOD-85734 series lubricating oils. Vendor brands of
MIL-PRF-7808 series, MIL-PRF-23699 series and DOD-85734 series lubricating oils which have
been engine tested and approved for use in the Model 250 engine are listed PARA C.(2), Approved
Oils. Refer to PARA C.(l), Cold Weather Lubrication, for the type of oil recommended at specific
temperatures.
-.NOTE. Because of availability, reduced coking and better lubricating qualities at high
temperatures, MIL-PRF-23699 oils are preferred for use in Model 250 engines.
NOTE.
-a Check the aircraft oil quantity within 15 minutes of engine shutdown to avoid a false
indication of excessive oil consumption. If the 15 minutes has been exceeded, motor the
engine for 30 seconds with the starter before checking tank quantity. Motoring normally
scavenges oil from the gearbox back to the aircraft oil tank. Check the airframe flight
manual; some installations may require the engine to be operated for at least a minute at

(1) Normal Setting

Start the engine as follows:
(a) Position the condition lever at FUEL OFF-FEATHER and turn all switdhes off.
(b) Turn on the aircraft switches required to provide fuel to the engine.
NOTE: It is recommended that residual TOT be no more than 302F (15015) when the
throttle is opened and light off is attempted. Residual TOT can be reduced by
motoring the engine with the starter. If high ambient conditions are encountered
and the TOT cannot be reduced to 302F (15OC), motor the engine until TOT is
stabilized before opening the throttle. Closely monitor TOT during .the start.
(c) Place the power lever at the GROUND IDLE position.
CAUTION: DURING A START THE CONDITION LEVER MUST NEVER BE AIDVANCED
OUT OF THE FUEL OFF-FEATHER POSITION UNTIL AFTER THE
STARTER AND IGNITION EXCITER HAVE BEEN ENERGIZED AND THE
DESIRED CRANKING SPEED HAS BEEN ATTAINED. TO DO SO MIGHT
RESULT IN AN EXPLOSIVE LIGHTOFF OR AN OVER-TEMPERATURE
START.
CAUTION: AN ENGINE FIRE, WITH THE RESULTANT FLAME EMANATING FROM THE
TAILPIPE, CAN OCCUR DURING START IF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER
BECOMES OVERLOADED WITH FUEL BEFORE IGNITION TAKES PLACE.
TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE, CONTINUE TO MOTOR THE ENGINIE USING
THE STARTER, WITH THE CONDITION LEVER FULLY CLOSED AND THE
MAIN FUEL SWITCH OFF. REFER TO GROUND SHUTDOWN, PARA 7.J.,
THIS SECTION, FOR THE RECOMMENDED ACTION IF AN ENGINE FIRE IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING SHUTDOWN.
F-T
CAUTION: MONITOR OIL PRESSURE DURING START. DAMAGE TO ENGINE ROTOR
BEARINGS CAN RESULT IF A POSITIVE INDICATION OF OIL PRESSURE
IS NOT OBTAINED BY THE TIME IDLE SPEED IS REACHED.
(d) Energize the starter motor and ignition exciter.
(e) As N1 rpm accelerates through 12-l 5% N,, move the condition lever to the maximum
(100% propeller speed) position to begin fuel flow.
-.NOTE. Do not wait for N1 peak out. Introduce fuel immediately upon reaching desired
N1 speed. Delay in moving the condition lever to the maximum position may
diminish battery capacity early in the start cycle.
CAUTION: THE IGNITION EXCITER IS QUALIFIED FOR CONTINUOUS DUTY
OPERATION. HOWEVER, USE OF THE IGNITION SYSTEM ON .A
CONTINUOUS BASIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED BECAUSE OF
DEGRADATION OF THE SPARK IGNITER.
CAUTION: IF THE PROPELLER IS NOT ROTATING BY 25% N,, SPEED, ABORT THE
START. A SECOND OR THIRD START ATTEMPT MAY BE MADE. IF THE
CONDITION STILL EXISTS, REFER TO TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE 101.
CAUTION: IF PROPELLER UNFEATHERING DOES NOT BEGIN BY THE TIME N,
REACHES THE STABILIZED SPEED, SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE.
(f) De-energize the starter and ignition exciter when 58% N1 speed is reached. The start is
completed when a stabilized N1 speed of 59-65% is reached. Completion of the start
normally occurs 15-45 seconds after moving the condition lever to the maximum position.
A positive indication of oil pressure must be obtained by this point in the start. If it is not,
shut down the engine and check to be sure that oil is available at the power and
accessories gearbox inlet. Monitor the measured gas temperature; do not exceed the
limits of Table 6. Propeller unfeathering will automatically occur during the engine start
transient.

I w. Following a lightning strike, sudden stoppage of the engine, or oil system contamina-
tion, replace the propeller power turbine governor. Tag the removed unit, stating the
reason for removal and send it to an approved overhaul facility for complete overhaul.

(1) Gearbox Compressor-Mounting Insert Inspection

(a) Inspect the inserts for looseness anytime the compressor is removed from the gearbox.
(Refer to Insert Inspection, PARA 4.E., 72-60-00.)
(2) Vibration Inspection
(a) If engine vibration is suspected, or any of the vibration symptoms listed in the loo-hour
inspection (Table 602) are encountered, inspect the compressor and return it. to
repair/overhaul if any of the following conditions are encountered:

1 Remove the top half of the compressor case and check all blades and vanes for

(4) Sudden Stoppage Inspection

The following inspections must be satisfactorily completed whenever the propeller strikes a
moving or stationary object.
NOTE: Sudden stoppage is the momentary or complete interruption in the rotation of the
aircraft propeller and engine drive system when the aircraft propeller comes in
contact with the ground, water, trees or other obstacles.

The shock felt by the drive system requires that the engine be inspected and/or over-
hauled by a designated overhaul facility as a result of possible damage.

If the aircraft propeller strikes an object causing damage to the propeller which can be
corrected by light grinding or filing and normal blending of the blades (nick.s, gouges,
scratches, etc.) in accordance with applicable propeller service instructions, complete the
following inspection:
Inspect the engine inlet for foreign objects.
Inspect the compressor for foreign object damage.
Inspect all magnetic plugs for metal accumulation. (Refer to Magnetic Plug, PARA 1O.H.,
72-00-00 Engine Servicing.)
Rotate the propeller by hand and check for unusual noise.
Motor the engine and check for unusual noise.
Operate the engine for 30 minutes on the ground then check the magnetic plugs for metal
accumulation.
Check balance the propeller.
If the aircraft propeller strikes an object causing damage to the propeller blades requiring
blade replacement and overhaul of the propeller assembly, remove the engine and send it
to a designated overhaul facility for inspection.
U-9 Refer to the appropriate propeller Service Instructions and Overhaul Manual.
0) Refer to the Special Inspections required after propeller strike and/or crash in the engine
Overhaul Manual.
(5) Compressor Inlet Air Blockage
Replace the compressor assembly if the engine has been operated with inlet air restricted due
to foreign objects or materials which have become lodged in the compressor inlet. Tag the
replaced compressor to show that the cause of removal was inlet air block.age and send to an
Rolls-Royce approved repair facility for complete overhaul. Conditions which constitute
blockage are:
(a) Power loss encountered following a restriction at the compressor inlet area while the
engine is in operation. Blockage in flight can usually be verified by inspection after
landing (blockage still exists). However, some blockage may be followed by ingestion
before inspection can take place. Objects or materials which were large enough to have
stopped at the inlet guide vanes before ingestion, or which causes a noticeable rise in
TOT, can be considered to have caused compressor inlet blockage.
(b) Foreign objects or materials found in the inlet during inspection of the aircraft when not in
operation. If it can be determined that the blockage was not there during the last
operation of the engine, remove the foreign object or material and leave the compressor
in service.

(6) Engine Submerged in Water

If the engine has been submerged in water, proceed as follows:
(a) Tag the engine indicating that it encountered submersion in water.
(b) Return the entire engine to an overhaul facility as soon as possible for replacement of all
compressor and turbine wheels.
(7) Lightning Strike Inspection
Aircraft lightning strikes occur when the airframe can serve as a least-resistance bridge for the
electrical bolt as it travels through the air. Consequently, aircraft extremities (propeller, blades,
nose, landing gear, wing tips, vertical and horizontal tail surfaces, etc.) typically act as points of
entry or exit.
However since the exact electrical path through the aircraft may not be readily traceable
following a strike, the following guidelines are recommended:
(a) In the event of a lightning strike in the immediate vicinity of the engine(s) (as evidenced
by charring, burn marks or pitting associated with electrical arcing on the engine cowl,
compartment or inlet) remove the engine(s) prior to further flight and send them to an
Rolls-Royce approved repair facility for detailed teardown and inspection.
(b) Where the aircraft is known or suspected of having been involved in a lightning strike and
entry/exit points either cannot be determined or appear remote to the engine(s), perform
the following:
1 Inspect the engine compartment for evidence of lightning strike damage.
2 Manually rotate N1 and N2 systems and check for binding and abnormal noise.
3 Remove, inspect, and clean the engine oil filter. (Refer to Oil Filter Replacement,
para 1 .C., Power and Accessory Gearbox Maintenance Practices, 72-60-00.)
4 Remove, inspect, and clean the magnetic plugs. (Refer to Magnetic Plug Inspection,
para 1O.H., Engine Servicing, 72-00-00.)
5 Operate the engine for 30 minutes on the ground in accordance with Engine Check
Run, para 1 .A., 72-00-00, Engine/Adjustment Test and recheck the magnetic plugs
for metal accumulation. (Refer to para 1O.H, 72-00-00, Engine-Servicing.)
a On twin engine aircraft, operate each engine individually.
h Listen for abnormal noise on coastdown and abnormally short coastdown time.
(8) Hot Start Inspection
When the engine starting temperature limits of Table 6, 72-00-00, are exceeded and turbine
inspection is the recommended maintenance action, proceed as follows:
(a) Remove the outer combustion case and combustion liner. (Refer to Replacing the
Combustion Liner, PARA 1 .A., 72-40-00.)
(b) Inspect the nozzle in accordance with Items 1 and 2 of Table 201,72-50-00.
(c) Inspect the turbine wheels. (Refer to, PARA 6.A., 72-50-00.)
(d) Inspect the combustion liner in accordance with Table 201, 72-40-00.
(e) Reassemble the engine. (Refer to Replacing the Combustion Liner, PARA 1 .A.,
72-40-00.)

(9) Erosion Inspection

If the aircraft is frequently subjected to sand or dust ingestion or operated in a corrosive
environment(salt laden or other chemically laden atmosphere such as pesticides, herbicides,
sulfur, industrial pollutantsetc.), inspect the compressor blades, vanes, and case plastic
coating for erosion or corrosion damage. Engines operated in a corrosive environment should
be subject to daily fresh water compressor rinses. (Refer to Blade Damage, Vane Damage,
Case and Vane Abradable Seal Coating Inspection, PARA 5.B., 5.C., 5.D.: and 5.E.,
72-30-00.)
NOTE: If the aircraft is subjected to sand, dust, or other small particle ingestion, periodic
compressor erosion inspection is recommended. The frequency of the inspection
should be based on the degree of ingestion and condition of the compressor at the
last inspection. The need for more frequent compressor rinse may also be indicated.
NOTE: See TP CSL-2004 for instructions on suggested contamination removal using water
only and for maps of operating areas with salt laden air.

(10) Snow Ingestion Inspection

Inspect the engine for snow, ice, or water damage as follows:
(a) Obtain access to the compressor inlet but do not disassemble any engine parts.
(b) Replace the compressor assembly if any mechanical damage, distortion, or bending is
detected on the compressor front support struts or the first-stage rotor blades.
(11) On Condition Inspection Power and Accessory Gearbox
Any time the gearbox housing is separated from the cover, all gears shall be magnetic particle
inspected if the log book indicates that more than 3500 hours have elapsed since the gears
were new or last magnafluxed. (Refer to 250-B17F Series Overhaul Manual, Publ. No. GTP
5243-3, for inspection criteria.)

-.NOTE. Record compliance with this inspection in the appropriate section of the log book.
Include date and hours.
(12) Rotating Balance of Engine and Propeller Assembly
To prevent operation with excessive vibration, it is recommended that an installation running
balance be accomplished under the following conditions:
(a) After any engine assembly, engine module, or propeller change

(b) After propeller overhaul, propeller blade replacement, or extensive blade blending for
nicks or dents.
(c) At periodic maintenance inspection intervals such as every other 100 hour inspection.
The frequency of inspection should be dictated by the particular aircraft and the
operational environment of that aircraft. It is Rolls-Royces suggestion that 600 hours be
the maximum time interval for a propeller balance check.
(d) Any time vibration is reported by the flight crew.
Balance the propeller using typical Fixed Base Operator (FBO) equipment such as:
Chadwick-Helmuth Vibrex balance system or Spectral Dynamics Trim Balance
Analyzer. Accomplish the balance in accordance with the instructions provided with the
particular equipment.
The maximum unbalance limit when measured at the propeller reduction gearbox is 3.0
mils or 0.2 inches/second (ips) average. This average is usually found near 1300 rpm
propeller speed.

powered aspirator and hot water, if available.
(14) Start injection three seconds prior to starter engagement and disengage starter at 10% N1
rpm.
(15) While motoring the engine with the starter, without ignition, inject one quart (one liter) in 9 to 11
seconds to maintain speed below 10% for duration of injection. Repeat injection cycle as
necessary to clean compressor.
(16) After injection of cleaning solution, spray steam or clean water (distilled preferred) into the
compressor inlet. Start injection three seconds prior to starter engagement, injecting one pint
to one quart (0.5 to 1 .O liter) in approximately 5 to 10 seconds, and again disengaging starter
before speed accelerates above 10% N rpm.
(17) If power is not restored after the compressor has been cleaned with an approved cleaner,
reclean as follows:
(a) Remove one case half and clean the blades and vanes with a small brush (toothbrush)
and a mild dishwashing detergent (Lux or equivalent). Refer to Compressor Case
Replacement, PARA 2., this section, for proper procedure.
(b) Reinstall the cleaned case half. Remove the second (dirty) case half. Clean blades and
vanes and replace case half in the same manner as used with the first case half.

1. General
Maintenance of the engine control linkages consists of rigging the linkages between the coordinator and
the engine mounted controls. Rigging of the linkages shall be accomplished any time the coordinator,
fuel control, of propeller-power turbine governor is removed or replaced.
2. Coordinator Riaaina (See Figure 201)
Coordinator rigging is divided into five separate procedures; one for each output lever of the coordinator
assembly.
A. Procedure A - Power Turbine Governor Lever
The propeller-power turbine governor lever (Figure 202) is connected to the power turbine lever on
the propeller-power turbine governor assembly (referred to as governor assembly) as follows:

(1) Retain the power turbine governor cable to the engine with supports at the coordinator
housing, fire shield, and power and accessory gearbox. Retain the cable to the fuel
control-to-governor Py air tube with two clamps.

-.NOTE. Always install the cable using the maximum possible bend radii.

(2) Rotate the input power lever on the coordinator counterclockwise until the lever pointer is
aligned with the 95 (TAKEOFF) position on the protractor.

(3) Ensure that the power turbine lever on the governor assembly is against the maximum speed
stop. The lever is spring loaded toward the stop.

,- (4) Attach the power turbine governor cable to coordinator lever A with a bolt and nut. Tighten nut
to lo-35 lb in. (1 .l-3.9 N.m) and secure with a cotter key.

(5) Adjust cable length (rotate rod end) until the hole in the rod end and governor assembly power
turbine lever align. Make this cable adjustment with the power turbine lever loaded against the
maximum speed stop. Take up cable looseness by compression. Attach the cable to the lever
with a bolt, washer, and nut. Tighten nut to 1O-35 lb in. (1 .l-3.9 N.m) and secure with a cotter
key.

(6) Ensure that the threaded ends of the cable extend into the rod ends past the inspection hole to
assure adequate thread engagement; then lockwire the jam nuts.

(7) Rotate the coordinator input power lever fully clockwise. The lever pointer should be aligned
with the 0 (MAX REVERSE) position on the protractor.

(8) Check the position of the governor assembly power turbine lever; the lever should be about l/8
in. (3 mm) from the maximum speed stop.

(9) Return the coordinator input power lever to the 95 position. Check that the governor
assembly power turbine lever is again at the maximum speed stop position.
(10) Rotate the coordinator input power lever and check for freedom of movement. The lever shall
move freely without evidence of binding.
B. Procedure B - Inner Propeller Governor Outrigger Lever
The coordinator inner propeller governor outrigger lever (Figure 202) is connected to the propeller
governor lever on the propeller-power turbine governor assembly as follows:
(1) Retain the propeller governor control cable to the power and accessory gearbox with supports
at three locations.

-.NOTE. Always install the cable using the maximum possible bend radii.
