second stage turbine nozzle. 
 
NOTE 4. Approved fuels and additives are listed in Alfa Ro meo Avio AR318-02 Operating and Installation Instructions 
Manual. 
 
NOTE 5. Any derogation from oil type specified herein must be declared in approved Alfa Romeo Service Instructions. 
 
NOTE 6. The installation of engine must be su ch that ingestion of birds is prevented. 
 
NOTE 7. Life limited parts and accountability methods ar e identified in Alfa Romeo Avio AR318-02 Continued 
Airworthiness Instructions, RAI approved.  The time of first overhaul is equal to 750 hours. 
 
NOTE 8. AR318-02 manual approved under RA I requirements as equivalent to FAR 33.4 and 33.5 (Amendment 9) 
requirements are as follows: 
- Installation Instructions  AR318- 02 Installation Instruction Manual 
- Operation Instructions  AR318- 02 Operating Instructions Manual 
- Maintenance AR318-02 Maintenance Manual 
- Overhaul AR318-02 Overhaul Manual 
- Performance AR318-02 Technical specification document 
 
NOTE 9. Overhaul of engine must comp ly with the AR318-02 Overhaul Manual. 
 
NOTE 10. The air inlet pressure distortion limits are defined in AR318-02 Operating and Installation Manual. 
  
NOTE 11.     Each of the documents listed below must state that it is approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)  
or, for approvals made before September 28, 2003 by Ente Nazionale per l’Aviazione Civile (ENAC) or 
Registro Aeronautico Italiano (RAI). Any such documents including those approved under a delegated 
authority, are accepted by the FAA and are considered FAA approved.  
 • Service bulletins,  
 • Structural repair manuals,  
 • Vendor manuals,  
 • Aircraft flight manuals, and  
 • Overhaul and maintenance manuals.
