IMPORT REQUIREMENTS To be considered for installati on on United States registered aircraft, each engine
to be exported to the United States shall be accompanied by a certificate of
airworthiness for export, or certifying statement endorsed by the exporting
cognizant civil airworthiness authority, which contains the following language:
1. This engine conforms to its Unite d States type design (Type Certificate
Number E21NE) 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 provides for the airworthiness acceptance
of aircraft engines or propellers manufactured outside of the United States for
which a United States type certificate has been issued.
Additional guidance is contained in FAA Advisory Circular 21-23,
Airworthiness Certification of Civil Aircraft, Engines, Propellers, and Related
Products, imported into the United States.

NOTE 4. Engine ratings are based on static sea level standard conditions of (dry) inlet air at 59oF and 29.92
in. Hg with no external accessory loads and no airbleed. The quoted ratings are obtainable on a test
stand with the specified fuel and oil, without intake ducting and using the exhaust port defined in the
Installation Manual.

be such that the vapor/liquid ratio of the fuel does not exceed 0.2. Maximum wet lift: 72 inches;
maximum dry lift: 72 inches.
Oil Pressure
The following limits apply at gas generator speed above 30,000 rpm (27,000 rpm for PT6B-37, -37A),
below 30,000 rpm (27,000 rpm for PT6B-37, -37A) gas generator speed, the minimum oil pressure is
40 psig.
Normal Range: 70-105 psig maximum (PT6B-36, -36A, -36B)
80-110 psig maximum (PT6B-37, -37A)
No Load: 40 psig minimum
Starting: 300 psig maximum
