IMPORT REQUIREMENTS: To be considered eligible for installation on United States (U.S.) registered aircraft, each engine
to be exported to the U.S. shall be accompanied by a certificate of airworthiness for export or
by a certifying statement, endorsed by the cognizant exporting civil airworthiness authority
which contains the following language:
(1) This engine conforms to its Type Certificate Number and is in a condition for safe
operation.
(2) This engine has been subjected by the manufacturer to a final operational check and is in a
proper state of airworthiness.
Reference 14 CFR Section 21.500, which provides for the airworthiness acceptance of aircraft
engines manufactured outside of the U.S. and for which a U.S. type certificate has been issued.
Additional guidance is contained in FAA Advisory Circular21-23, "Airworthiness Certification
of Civil Aircraft, Engines, Propellers, and Related Products Imported into the United States."
NOTES
NOTE 1: The engine ratings are based on static sea level conditions:
PW308A: Compressor inlet air (dry) up to 98.6°F (37°C) at takeoff and 82.4°F (28°C) at maximum continuous.
PW308C: Compressor inlet air (dry) up to 100.4°F (38°C) at Maximum takeoff, 89.6°F (32°C) at Normal Takeoff,
and 89.6°F (32°C) at maximum continuous.
29.92 in. Hg.
No accessory loads or air bleed.
Engine intake and exhaust as described in the applicable Transport Canada approved Installation Manual.
NOTE 2: PW308A: The AC generator pad may be overloaded in an emergency to a torque of 500 in.-lb. for periods up to 5
minutes, subject to total accessory power not exceeding Installation Manual limits. In the case of One-Engine-
Inoperative (OEI) Takeoff, the limit is 10 minutes.
PW308C: The DC generator pads may be overloaded in an emergency to a torque of 250 in.-lb. For periods up to
160 seconds, subject to total accessory power not exceeding Installation Manual limits.
NOTE 3: Minimum permissible flight idle N2 is 16,657 RPM (62.2 %) corrected.
NOTE 4: Certain engine parts are life limited. For PW308A engines, these life limits are listed in the Airworthiness
Limitation Section of P&WC Maintenance Manual P/N 3043622. For PW308C engines, these life limits are listed
in the Airworthiness Limitation Section of P&WC Maintenance Manual P/N 30C3882.
NOTE 5: Permissible overhaul and inspection intervals are listed in P&WC Maintenance Manual P/N 3043622. Permissible
overhaul and inspection intervals for the PW308C engine are listed in P&WC Maintenance Manual P/N 30C3882.
NOTE 6: Service bulletins, structural repair manuals, vendor manuals, aircraft flight manuals, and overhaul and maintenance
manuals, which contain a statement that the document is Transport Canada-approved, are accepted by the FAA and
are considered FAA-approved unless otherwise noted. These approvals pertain to the type design only.

NOTE 8: The software contained in the Electronic Engine Control has been designed, developed, tested and documented
in accordance with the provisions of the Critical Category, Level A of RTCA/DO178B.
NOTE 9: The engine bill of material does not include a thrust reverser. Considerations for the installation of a thrust
reverser are contained in the applicable Installation Manual.
NOTE 10: Reserved.
NOTE 11: The PW308 series engine models are approved for multiple engine installations only.
NOTE 12: The PW308C engine includes provisions for automatic power increase to Maximum Takeoff. For this engine
model, the limitations stated for Normal Takeoff are to ensure that the Maximum Takeoff limitations are not
exceeded in the event of an automatic power increase to Maximum Takeoff. Refer to Table 2-1 in the Installation
Manual.
NOTE 13: The PW308A and PW308C engines can be operated with certain detected FADEC faults in accordance with TLD
policy. Aircraft considerations are contained in the Installation Manual, and time limits are contained in the
Airworthiness Limitations section of the Maintenance Manual.
NOTE 14: The take-off ratings that are nominally limited to 5 minutes duration may be used for up to 10 minutes for one
engine inoperative operations without adverse effects upon engine airworthiness. Such operations are anticipated
on an infrequent basis (as engine failure events during take-off are uncommon). Refer to the Engine Maintenance
Manual Chapter 05-10-00 for any subsequent maintenance actions.
NOTE 15: The engine bill of material does not include a thrust reverser. Considerations for the installation of a thrust reverser
are contained in the Installation Manual.
NOTE 16: The following emissions standards promulgated in 14 CFR Part 34, Amendment 5, effective December 31, 2012
and 40 CFR Part 87, effective July 18, 2012 have been complied with for the PW308A and PW308C:
Fuel Venting Emissions Standards: 14 CFR §§ 34.10(b) and 34.11; in addition, 40 CFR §§ 87.10(b) and 87.11.
Smoke Number Emissions Standards: 14 CFR § 34.21(a)(1); in addition, 40 CFR § 87.23(c)(1).
In addition to the FAA’s finding of compliance based on the certification requirements defined in this TCDS, the
engine manufacturer has declared that the ICAO emissions standards identified in Annex 16, Volume II, Third
Edition, Part III, Chapter 2, Section 2.2.2 for SN, Part II Chapter 2 for fuel venting have also been demonstrated.
