NOTE 6. For compressor bleed airflow limits, refer to the applicable engine installation manual
(see NOTE 12).

NOTE 8. These engines meet FAA requirements for operation in icing conditions within the envelope defined
in 14 CFR part 25, Appendix C.
NOTE 9. Certain engine parts are life-limited. These limits are published in the FAA Approved Airworthiness
Limitations Section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness contained in the Light
Maintenance Manuals, Chapter 5.
NOTE 10. Variations in engine configuration and installation components are identified by a suffix to the basic
model number on the engine nameplate; i.e. TFE731-60-XY (“X” denotes Honeywell Aerospace US
LLC installed configuration rating code number(s) and “Y” denotes Honeywell Aerospace
equipment code letter(s) of aircraft manufacturer), and an Engine Equipment List number. Certain
features of these components are influenced by aircraft design considerations. In the Engine
Equipment List, those items coded “E” are basic engine items and are controlled by Part 33. Items
coded “A” have been demonstrated as compatible with the basic engine during engine certification
testing. However, operation, functioning, and performance of these in a specific aircraft installation
must be demonstrated during aircraft certification. Subsequent design control associated with these
factors is the responsibility of the aircraft manufacturer.

(plumbing, electrical, etc.).
TFE731-40R Same as TFE731-40 except different external assembly (plumbing,
electrical, etc.). The -40R incorporates the Automatic Performance
Reserve (APR) system and/or the Manual Performance Reserve
(MPR) system.
TFE731-20 Same as TFE731-60 basic model except one-stage geared fan
(midspan dampered rotor blade), modification to the tangential
onboard inducer (TOBI), DS material for first-stage LP turbine blade,
different HP turbine nozzle area, different combustor and fuel
atomizer shroud cooling scheme, different external assembly
(plumbing, electrical, etc.).
TFE731-20R Same as TFE731-20 except the -20R incorporates the APR and/or
MPR system.
TFE731-20AR Same as TFE731-40R except different external assembly (plumbing,
electrical, etc.).
TFE731-20BR Same as TFE731-20AR except operates at the higher ITT ratings of
the
-40R engine.
TFE731-40AR Same as TFE731-40R except operates at lower takeoff thrust rating.
TFE731-50R Same as TFE731-60 basic model except a reduced-diameter fan rotor
assembly and associated surrounding outer structure, incorporates the
APR system, increased N2 speed at takeoff.

increased N2 limit. Incorporates improved durability hot-section
hardware already used on TFE731-60.
NOTE 14. The engine type design does not include a thrust reverser. Considerations for the installation of a
thrust reverser are contained in the engine installation manuals (see NOTE 12). The engines have
demonstrated compatibility with the following thrust reversers:
