FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual Supplement dated December 16, 1998 or later “FAA Approved” revision required for Model 182 Series Serial Numbers 18266591 through 18268586. Installation of the propeller shown above is limited to those airplanes previously modified by Supplemental Type Certificate to include installation of Teledyne Continental IO-520-series and IO-550-series engines. These engines may not produce more than originally certificated take off power of 300 horsepower at 2850 RPM or less. However, they may be modified to produce less than originally certificated maximum takeoff or maximum cruise power.
