NOTE 13 SPECIAL OPERATING PROCEDURES 
Take-off ratings that are limited to 5 minutes duration may be used for up to 10 minutes for OEI 
operations without adverse effects upon engine airworthiness. Such operations are anticipated on 
an infrequent basis (as engine failure at take-off events is uncommon) and no limits or special 
inspections have been imposed. 
 
Flight Idle is a function of Ambient Pressure for PW545C and PW545D Models. 
 
The starter/generator pad for the PW545A, PW545B, PW545C and PW545D engine models may be 
overloaded in an emergency to a torque of 340 in.-lb. for periods up to 5 minutes, subject to total 
accessory power not exceeding 40 hp. This can recur at 4 hour intervals. Refer to Installation 
Manuals (see NOTE 7) for restrictions above 10,000 feet altitude.
