Certification basis CAR 10.  Engine Type Certificate No. 305 issued July 28, 1958; revised February 19, 1959 and
August 22, 1960.  Each  individually imported engine must be accompanied by the pertinent Inspection
Test Certificate and clearly labeled as "import" in accordance with CAR 10.30.
NOTE 1.  Maximum permissible temperatures:
Turbine outlet (jet pipe) temperature:
503, 503A, 507, 507A
504, 504A 508, 508A
  Takeoff 1067°F (575°C) 1067°F (575°C)
  Maximum continuous 1013°F (545°C) 1040°F (560°C)
  Maximum during starts 1292°F (700°C) 1292°F (700°C)
  Maximum transients 1067°F (575°C) 1067°F (575°C)
The maximum temperatures for all except starts are higher than above by 1.8°F (1°C) for each 3.6°F (2°C)
variation higher from 41°F (5°C) of outside air temperature.  At outside air temperature of 41°F (5°) and below
the maximum temperatures remain constant at the above values.  Jet pipe No. N6763/2-6, E6163/0-6, E6563/0-6
or E6163/140-160 uses 3 thermocouples and the above limits apply.  The start temperature limit may also be
measured by one thermocouple in the turbine rearcasing.
503, 504, 503A, 504A 
507, 508 507A, 508A
Minimum ambient temperature for starting no limit  -40°F (-40°C)
Oil inlet temperature 23°F to 212°F  -22°F to 212°F
(-5°C to 100°C) (-30°C to 100°C)*
*(This limit is subject to the incorporation of Modification N. EL 1079)
External engine component temperature:
  Cooling air temperature, 212°F (100°C) max. for zone 1
                    and   330°F (170°C) max. for zone 2
NOTE 2. Fuel and oil pressure limits
Fuel, at engine inlet, 5 p.s.i.a. minimum
Fuel gauge pressure, 5 p.s.i.g. minimum
Oil gauge pressure, 30 p.s.i. idle, 60-115 p.s.i. varying with r.p.m. above idle
Oil pressure at engine inlet, -1 to + 2 1/4 p.s.i.
NOTE 3: The engine ratings are the guaranteed minimums and are based on static sea level conditions as follows:
Compressor inlet air 59°F. and 29.92 in.Hg.
Nose fairing, Napier N.4010/376 or R.5710/29.
Jet nozzle and exhaust pipe, Napier No. 4163/140-160, N.5763/2-6, N.6163/0-6 or N.6563/0-6, depending on installation.
No aircraft accessory loads.
No compressor air bleed.
Equivalent shaft hp. = Jet Thrust + shaft hp.
                               2.6
Jet pipe temperature no higher than in NOTE 1.
NOTE 4. The following accessory drive provisions are incorporated:
Drive    Rotation  Speed             Torque Maximum
(facing drive) Ratio to Continuous           Static Overhang

NOTE 5. Maximum air extraction for aircraft purposes is 1.2% of total airflow for fuel heating and 1.0% for inlet guide
vane anti-icing, and 0.1% for generator cooling.  The first two bleed uses are selective, but the generator cooling
is used at all times.  No additional air bleed is authorized.
NOTE 6. Propellers to be used with this engine must have functioning characteristics compatible with the engine and its
control system such as the deHavilland type P.D. 216/466.
NOTE 7: Shaft horsepower may be allowed to rise to 3250 hp. for takeoff for all models and to 2780 hp. (503, 503A, 504, 504A)
or 3045 hp. (507, 507A, 508, 508A) for maximum continuous under conditions of low air temperature and ram air.  A
maximum overload torque limiter is incorporated in the engine control system and is set at 3390 s.h.p. for all models.
NOTE 8. This engine meets FAA requirements for, (a) adequate turbine disc integrity, rotor blade containment, armoring,
and (b) operation in icing conditions.
NOTE 9. Maximum overspeed limit is 13500 r.p.m. for 20 seconds.  When either limit is exceeded the engine shall be overhauled.
NOTE 10. The mixing of approved fuels is permitted without restriction.  No adjustment of the engine is necessary and no loss
of performance occurs.
