NOTE 4. This engine is approved for helicopter appli cation and operation in a vertical mount installation. 
 
NOTE 5. This engine is equipped with  an AiResearch Model T-1112 turbosupercharger and integral automatic  
 power control which makes standard dry, sea level ra tings available at other than standard conditions up 
 to critical altitudes.  Performance data for this engine are presented on Lycoming Curve Nos. (12821 - 
 TVO-540) & (12930-A - TIVO-540). 
 
 The turbocharger control is servo-operated from eith er engine oil or an external supply of MIL-H-5606 
 hydraulic fluid at a pressure of 60-70 p.s.i.  Th is control is not equipped to use “Skydrol” fluid. 
 
 The turbocharger meets the containment require ments of CAR 13.116 and does not require external 
 protection.
