 JT12A-8 23°F and below 3300 pounds 
 The engine installation and operating manual should he consulted for variation in thrust between standard 
day and the temperatures given above. 
NOTE 11. FUELS: JP-1, JP-4, and JP-5 fuels conforming to PWA Specification No. 522 and later revisions may he 
used separately or mixed in any proportions without adversely affecting engine operation or power output. 
No fuel control adjustment is required when switching fuel types. 
 ANTI-ICING ADDITIVE: Phillips PFA-55MB anti-icing additive at the use concentration not in excess 
of 0.15 percent by volume is approved for use in fuels conforming to PWA Specification No. 522D. 
 ANTI-ICING ADDITIVE: Shell ASA-3 anti-static additive at a concentration that will provide not in

conforming to PWA Specification No. 522E or later revision. 
 BIOCIDE ADDITIVIE: SOHIO Biobor JF biocide additive at a use concentration not in excess of 20 ppm 
elemental boron (270 ppm total additive) is approved for use in fuel conforming to PWA Specification 
No. 522. 
NOTE 12. PWA Turbojet Engine Service Bulletin No. 238 lists approved brand oil. 
NOTE 13. JTI2A-6 engines which have been modified in accordance with PWA Engineering Change No. 110181 
(Aves Kit) should have the suffix letter “A” added to the engine serial number. All JT12A-6A are so

modified. 
NOTE 14. MODEL GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS 
 JT12A-6 Basic model 
 JT12A-6A Same as JT 12A-6 except for increased maximum continuous rating with improved 
engine parts. 
 JT12A-8 Same as JT12A-6A except for increased ratings with improved engine parts. 
 J60-P-5B See Note 15 below. 
NOTE 15. The J60-P-5B turbojet engine is identical to the JT12A-6A engine and is eligible for use in certificated 
aircraft. When the J60-P-5B is overhauled, it must undergo a parts conformity to ensure that it meets the 
JT12A-6A engine parts list. At that time, the JP60-P-5B engine data plate should be revised to reflect the 
JT12A-6A model designation.
