A32SO Page 4 of 4 NOTE 3. The Service Life Limits on components are contained in the Maintenance Manual and are listed below: (a) Engine mount bolts at Sta. 106.00: 7853 hrs. (b) Wing: 18,000 hrs. (c) Empennage: 18,000 hrs. (d) Fuselage: 18,000 hrs. NOTE 4. The maximum propeller shaft overspeed limit for the PT6A-61 is 100% (2200 r.p.m.) of all ratings. 91% propeller shaft speed is defined as 2000 r.p.m. and is the normal steady state operating limit. Gas generator speeds up to 104.0% are permissible for unlimited periods subject of applicable temperature and other limits. 100% gas generator speed is defined as 37,468 r.p.m. NOTE 5. (a) Propeller low pitch is set so that at 1900 r.p.m. there shall be an indicated 1154 ± 30 ft. -lb torque corrected to sea level standard day. (b) Propeller reversed pitch setting is adjusted to provide reversed power of 180 SHP ± 20 (SHP = torque x prop r.p.m. x 0.00019.) (c) Feathered angle shall be adjusted to prevent rotation while feathered at 132 KCAS. NOTE 6. (a) Aviation Gasoline MIL-G-5572 Grades 80/87, 91/98, 100/130 and 115/145 are permitted for a total time period not to exceed 150 hours time between turbine hot section inspections.
