Effective September 28, 2003, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this product on behalf of Germany. Import Requirements: To be considered eligible for installation on U.S. registered aircraft, each new engine to be exported to the United States with Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (Germany) or EASA airworthiness approval shall have a Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) or EASA Form 1, Authorized Relea se 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-297, is in a condition for safe operation and has und ergone a final operational check. Additional guidance is contained in FAA Adviso ry Circular 21.23, Airworthiness Certification of Civil Aircraft, Engines, Propellers and Related Products, Imported into the United States.

Fuel & Oil Pressure Limits: Fuel supply pressure at engine fuel inlet varies with flow per latest approved issue of RR curve HK 23643. Oil pressure varies with oil inlet temp erature. Normal for 525 series, 13 to 35 psig; for all other models, 12 to 35 psig. 9 psig is minimum in-flight for all models. NOTE 3. The engine ratings are based on standard conditions with no ai r bleed or aircraft accessory power extraction, 60°F, 29.92 in. Hg., and PW/PO=.01 at sea level within limiting gas temperatures. On dry air, T.O. power is increased less than .5% and M.C. power by 1.3%. Jet thrust is converted to equivalent shaft hp by dividing the thrust value by a factor of 2.5. The output values are the minimum acceptable and are based on the use of Rolls-Royce exhaust cone RK 21556, RK 25226 or approved equivalent and with 12 thermocouples located in the intermediate turbine guide vanes. NOTE 4. Water/methanol injection is optional and is utilized through auto matically varied flow to provide a constant level of power output for take-off. The w/m fluid should be a 63/37 mixture of water and methyl alcohol for all models, (Rolls-Royce MSRR 9359 latest approved issue). The water used is distilled or contains a maximum of 10 ppm solids, and the methyl alcohol is British D.Eng.RD.2491 or equivalent. The w/m flow varies up to a maximum for the different models as follows: 525 series: 493 gph (U.S.); 529-8X, 529D-8X, 529-8Y, 529D -8Y, 529-8Z, 529D-8Z, 532-2L, 532-7, 532-7N, 532-7P,: 660 gph (U.S.); 532-7L, 532-7R, 535-7R: 673 gph (U.S.); 535-2: 696 gph (U.S.); 551-7, 551-7R, 552-2, 552-7, 552-7R: 627 gph (U.S.); Remaining models: 564.5 gph (U.S.) Refer to appropriate Rolls-Royce Operations Instructions for additional operating limits, characteristics and procedures when using W/M selection (NOTE 14).

NOTE 6. Approved fuels and fuel additives given in Rolls-Royce Operating Instructions. (See NOTE 14). NOTE 7. These engines meet FAA requirements for ic ing protection, for adequate turbine disk integrity, for rotor blade containment, and do not require external armoring. NOTE 8. Propellers used with this engine must have functioning characteristics which are compatible with the engine and its control system. NOTE 9. Maximum air bleed for aircraft servi ces is 1.55% of the no-bleed mass flow. NOTE 10. Maximum overspeed limit is 17000 rpm for 20 seconds. If these limits are exceeded, the engine will require inspection as detailed in the Rolls-Royce Maintenance Manual. NOTE 11. The maximum allowable horsepower cleared for the engine to cover operation at low ambient air temperature and/or ram conditions is 3000 HP for the 529 series, 532 series, 535 series, 551 and 552 series and is 2075 HP for all other models.
