Certification basis CAR 10.  Engine Type Cer tificate No. 300 issued January 13, 1958, amended 
   January 20, 1960 to include IIC, am ended August 28, 1968, to include IIC1, 
   IIC2, IIC5, and IIC6. 
   Date of application for Type Certificate:  November 22, 1955 
The aviation authority for France, the Direction Generale de L'Aviation Civile (DGAC), originally type certificated this engine. 
The FAA validated this product under U.S. Type Certificate Number E-300 Effective September 28, 2003; the European 
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this product on behalf of France. 
 
Import requirements To be considered eligible for installation on U.S. registered aircraft, each new engine to be exported to 
the United States with the DGAC 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-300 is in a condition for safe operation and has undergone a final operational check. 
 
NOTES: 
Note 1. Maximum perm issible temperatures: 
   Turbine exhaust gas temperatures:  IIB1   IIC, IIC1, IIC2, IIC5, IIC6  
    Takeoff  1125°F (607°C) 1035°F (557°C) 
    Maximum continuous   950°F (510°C)   950°F (510°C) 
    Maximum transient 1040°F (560°C) 1022°F (550°C) 
    The turbine exhaust gas temperat ure is measured by 4 thermocouples. 
   Oil inlet temperature: 
    68° to 175°F (20° to 80°C) For ambient air te mperatures 14°F and above with appropriate grade  
      of oil per manual. 
    32° to 86°F  (0° to 30°C) For ambient ai r temperatures below 14°F with appropriate grade 
     of oil per manual.

NOTE 2. Fuel and oil pressure limits: 
   Fuel, at engine inlet, 4.0 to 4.5 p.s.i.g. 
   Oil, normal pressures are 30 to 60 p.s.i.g., ex cept minimum of 10 p.s.i.g. is permitted for idling. 
 
NOTE 3. The engine ratings are the minimu m guaranteed and are based on the following: 
   Static sea level standard conditions of 59°F, 29.92 in.Hg. 
   No external air bleed or aircraft accessory power. 
   At the exhaust gas temperatures stamped on each engine.  This temperature will vary somewhat but 
    will be no higher than 1100°F (593°C) for IIB1, 1010°F (543°C) for IIC, IIC1, IIC2, IIC5, IIC6 
    for all engines at takeoff power, which corres ponds to a turbine inlet temperature of 1480°F (804°C) 
    for IIB1, 1385°F (752°C) for IIC, IIC1, IIC2, IIC5, IIC6. 
    
    Exhaust gas temperatures are measured by the 4 Turbomeca thermocouples installed on each engine. 
    A typical jet pipe, although the engine is not sensitive to small differences in tailpipes.

NOTE 5. Maximum air bleed for aircraft se rvices is .067 lb/sec. at sea level. 
 
NOTE 6. This engine is for use on helic opters and includes the following equipment: 
     Drive clutch assembly for main drive 
     Overload signaling device 
     Isochronous speed govering system 
     Automatic sequency device for starting 
 
NOTE 7. This engine meets FAA require ments for adequate turbine disc integrity and rotor blade containment 
  and does not require external armoring. 
 
NOTE 8. This engine has no provision for anti-icing the inlet and has not been substantiated for use in icing weather. 
 
NOTE 9. (a) Use of any of the specified alternate fu els does not require readjustment of fuel controls 
   Use of leaded Aviation Gasoline as an altern ate fuel is limited to no more than 25 hours between 
   overhauls as engine power output will decrease significantly with its extended use. 
  (b) When Marine Diesel Fuel is used, the out side air temperature must be above +5°F (-15°C). 
  (c) When JP5 is used, its speci fic gravity must be below 0.8. 
  (d) When gasoline is used, it is recommended to add 1% oil. 
  (e) Illuminating oil (kerosene) to be us ed must have the following characteristics: 
    Sulphur: Less than 0.2% flash point 
     Not less than 100°F (38°C), freezing point 
     Not greater than -40°F (-40°C) 
  (f) Automotive diesel oil must not be used when th e outside air temperature is below 32°F (0°C).  Its 
   characteristics must be: 
    Sulpnur: Less than 1% , kinematic viscosity at 68°F (20°C) 
     Less than 9 centistokes 
 
NOTE 10. (a) The models IIC and IIC 1 are similar to the IIB1 except for improved design for the turbine 
   section and stators. 
  (b) The model IIC2 is similar to the IIC and IIC 1 except for improvement in the intake and reduction 
   gear casing design. 
  (c) The model IIC5 is similar to the IIC1 except for steel inducer instead of aluminum alloy and new 
   combustion chamber outer liner. 
  (d) The model IIC6 is similar to  the IIC5 except for the improvement in the intake and reduction gear 
   casing design.
