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 ce rtifying statement, endorsed by the exporting  
    cognizant civil airworthiness aut hority 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 FAR Section 21.500, which pr ovides for the airworthiness acceptance  
    of aircraft engines manufactured outsi de of the U.S. and for which a U.S. type  
    certificate has been issued.  Additi onal guidance is contained in FAA Advisory  
    Circular 21-23, "Airworthiness Certific ation of Civil Aircraft, Engines, Propellers,  
    and Related Products Imported into the United States."

NOTES 
  
NOTE 1. The engine ratings for PW615F-A engine m odel are based on dry sea level static ICAO 
standard atmospheric conditions.  No accessory loads or air bleed. 
 
The quoted ratings are obtainable on a test stand with specified fuel and oil, and using the 
exhaust duct and intake bell mouth specified in the Installation Manual. 
 
NOTE 2. 
 
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 are uncommon) and 
no limits or special inspections have been imposed. 
 
NOTE 3.  Minimum permissible flight idle N2 for PW615F-A is:  25,000 RPM (56.8%) 
 
NOTE 4.    Instructions for Continued Airworthiness are listed in:  
Maintenance Manuals - P/N 3059712 
Line Maintenance Manual – P/N 3072691 
Overhaul Manual P/N 3059713 
 
NOTE 5. Certain engine parts are lif e limited.  Life limits are listed in Airworthiness Limitation   
Manuals: P/N 3072698 
 
NOTE 6. Removed 
 
NOTE 7. Approved Publications: 
Installation Manual                                           ER5829

Assembly Parts List for production engines     35C0510 Revision K and subsequent 
revision 
 
NOTE 8. 
 
Refer to Installation Manual, ER5829 for accessory drives specifications; principle 
dimensions; weights, inertias and centre pf gravity locations; and additional information on 
provisions and connections to airframe provided vibration, Oil pressure and temperature 
and fuel flow sensor 
 
NOTE 9. Service bulletins, structural repair manuals, vendor manual, aircraft flight manuals, and 
overhaul and maintenance manuals, which contain a statement that the document is 
Transport Canada-approved, are acceptable by the FAA and are considered FAA-approved 
unless otherwise noted. These approves pertain to the type design only. 
 
NOTE 10. 
 
The engine is approved for multiple engine installations only.  
 
NOTE 11. The installation require an airframe mounted Fuel Shut Off Valve 
 
NOTE 12. The engine is not approved for use with a thrust reverser. 
 
NOTE 13. The software contained in the Elec tronic Engine Control has been designed, developed, 
tested and documented in accordance with the provision of the critical Category, Level A of 
RTCA/DO178B. Each Electronic Engine Control channel also includes a simple PLD that 
meets Level A of RTCA/DO254 
 
NOTE 14. The Electronic Engine Control Unit has  not been fire tested and therefore must not be 
installed in a designated fire zone. 
 
NOTE 15. The PW615F-A engine is approved with Ti me Limited Dispatch (TLD) limitations. The
