CERTIFICATION BASIS Engine Type Certificate No. 296 issued November 1, 1957, under CAR Part 1C; added
Model 766 September 18, 1958. Each individually imported engine must be
accompanied by the pertinent Inspection and Test Certificate and clearly labeled as
import in accordance with CAR Part 10.30.
The aviation authority for the United Kingdom, the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA),
originally type certificated this engine. The FAA validated this product under U.S. Type
Certificate Number E-296. Effective September 28, 2003, the European Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA) began oversight of this product on behalf of the UK.
IMPORT REQUIREMENTS To be considered eligible for inst allation on U.S. registered aircraft, each new engine to
be exported to the United States with UK CAA or EASA airworthiness approval shall
have a Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) or EASA Form 1, Authorized Release
Certificate. The JAA or EASA Form 1 should state that the engine conforms to the type
design approved under the U.S. Type Certificate E-296, is in a condition for safe
operation and has undergone a final operational check.
NOTE 1. Maximum permissible temperatures:
Turbine outlet (jet pipe) temperature,
Takeoff Model 756 1050°F (565°C) max. with no ai r bleed, for ambient of 113°F (45°C); Model 766,
T.O. 1058°F (570°C) max.
Max continuous Model 756 1040°F (555°C) max. with no air bleed, for ambient of 113°F (45°C); Model 766,
M.C. 1050°F (565°C) max.
Max. transients: (Starting) 1292 F(700°C), (acceleration) 1202°F (650°C).
The takeoff and max. continuous jet pipe limit temp eratures are decreased with the lower ambient air
temperatures and air bleed quantities per curve, Ref. ED6 of the flight manual. When jet pipes Nos.
A107650 or A107826 are used, 3 thermocouples are used a nd the above limits apply. With 'B' skin jets in
operation, the engines shall be controlled to a jet pi pe temperature 50°F (10°C) lower than the appropriate
limiting jet pipe temperature shown in the relevant curve.
Oil inlet temperature, 41° to 230°F (+5° to 110°C).
External engine component temperatures,
Fuel control units, 158°F (70°C) body temperature.
Zone air changes of approximately 12 per minute.
NOTE 2. Fuel and oil pressure limits:
Fuel, minimum at engine inlet, 1 ps ig, normal fuel pressure, 8 to 15 psig.
Oil pressure, 50 to 80 psig.
NOTE 3. The engine ratings are based on static sea level conditions as follows:
Compressor inlet air 59°F, 29.92 in.Hg.
Jet nozzle, 18 in. diameter circular, Part No. RL26094.
Jet pipe assembly, Part No. RL24775, with 11 thermocouples.
No external air bleed or accessory drive power for aircraft services.
Turbine gas temperatures of not more than 991°F ( 533°C) for T.O. and 968°F (520°C) for M.C. for Model 756
and 1008°F (542°C) for T.O. and 964°F (518°C) for M.C. for Model 766.
Equivalent shaft hp = jet thrust + shaft hp
2.6
NOTE 4. The following aircraft accessory provisions are provided on the engine:
Rotation (facing drive) Speed Ratio Continuous Static Maximum

NOTE 5. Maximum air bleed extraction for aircraft purpos es is 7.7% from compressor, and 4.4% from turbines.
NOTE 6. Propellers to be used with this engine must have functioning characteristics which are compatible with the engine
and its control system, such as the de Havilland PD.202/4N6/1 or 2.
NOTE 7. (a) For Model 756, shaft horsepower may be allowe d to rise to 3820 shp for takeoff and to 3440 shp maximum
continuous so long as gas temperature and rpm limits are not exceeded. The engine torque limiter will
automatically operate at 750 psi torquemeter pressure (3820 shp) to control power output.
(b) For Model 766, shaft horsepower may be allowed to rise to 3982 shp for takeoff and to MC 3658 shp maximum
continuous so long as gas temperature and rpm limits are not exceeded. The engine torque limiter will
automatically operate from 780 to 815 psi torquemeter pressure (3980 shp) to control power output.
NOTE 8. (a) For Model 756, maximum compressor rpm is to be reduced when operating above 95°F (35°C) ambient air
temperature. Takeoff rpm is reduced 10 rpm per 1.8°F (1°C) and maximum continuous rpm is reduced from
11725 to 11650 basically, with further varying reduction in rpm to compensate for increased air bleed for
aircraft services per Chart Ref ED6 Table 1.
(b) For Model 766, takeoff compressor rpm is to be reduced when operating above 95°F (35°C) ambient air
temperature, by 10 rpm per 1.8°F (1°C). An increase in maximum continuous rpm to 11650 is permitted at
altitudes above 15,000 ft, with varying corrections to compensate for increased air bleed for aircraft services
per Chart Ref. ED6.
NOTE 9. This engine meets CAA requirement s for (a) adequate turbine disc integrity and rotor blade containment and does
not require external armoring, and (b) operation in atmospheric icing conditions.
NOTE 10. Each of the documents listed below must state th at it is approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) or, for approvals made be fore September 28, 2003 by the Unite d Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority.
Any such documents including those approved under a de legated authority, are accepted by the FAA and are
considered FAA approved.
