NOTES 1 through 12    
 
Certification Basis: CAR 10 and British Civil Airworthiness Requirement s Section C, Issue 5 dated July 1, 1962, (BCAR 
Section C, Issue 5, is equivalent to the applicable parts of CAR Part 13, effective June 15, 1955, and 
amendments 13-1 through 13-5).  Type Certificate No. 297 amended July 16, 1962 for basic Dart 542.  
Approval of this engine subsequently rescinded as all basic Dart 542 engines converted to Dart 542-10 
standard.  Dart 542-10J & 10K-4K comply with BCAR Section C, Issue 6 dated June 15, 1966, which is 
equivalent to Part 33-L.  Type Certificate (Import) No. E5EU issued for Dart 542-10, 542-4, October 15, 
1965, amended to include 542-10J & 10K on July 15, 1968, and 542-4K on January 7, 1970. 
 Date of Application for Type Certificate July 16, 1962. 
 The aviation authority for Germany, Luftfahrt-Bundesa mt, type certificated this engine certificate. The 
FAA validated this product under U.S. Type Certificate Number E5EU. Effective September 28, 2003, 
the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this product on behalf of Germany. 
 
 
Import Requirements: To be considered eligible for installation on U.S. re gistered aircraft, each new engine to be exported to 
the United States with Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (Germany) or EASA airworthiness approval shall have a 
Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) or EASA Form 1, Authorized Release Certificate.  The JAA or EASA 
Form 1 should state that the engine conforms to the type design approved under the U.S. Type Certificate 
E5EU, is in a condition for safe operation and has undergone a final operational check. 
 
 Additional guidance is contained in FAA Advisory Ci rcular 21.23, Airworthiness Certification of Civil 
Aircraft, Engines, Propellers and Related Products, Imported into the United States.

NOTE  1. Maximum permissible temperatures:  
 Turbine gas temperatures: 542-10 542-10J, -10K 542-4, -4K

 Maximum overtemperature (5 second limit) (1000°C) (1000°C) (1000°C) 
 Oil inlet temperature range (-15° to 120°C) - - - - 
 
 
NOTE  2. Fuel and oil pressure limits: 
 Fuel supply pressure at engine fuel inlet, varying with flow per RR curve HK 30017, Issue 3. 
 Oil pressure varies with oil inlet temperature; normal 14 to  35 p.s.i.g. in flight; with 9 p.s.i.g. minimum in flight. 
 
 
NOTE  3. Engine ratings are based on standard conditions with no air bleed or aircraft accessory power extraction, 60°F, 29.92 in. 
Hg., and Pw/Po = .01 at sea level within limiting gas temperatures.  With dry air, T.O. power is increased less than .5% and 
M.C. power by 1.3%.  Jet thrust is converted to equivalent shaft hp by dividing the thrust value by a factor of 2.5.  The 
output values are the minimum acceptable and are based on the use of Rolls-Royce exhaust cone RK 25226 or RK 21556 
and with 12 thermocouples located in the intermediate turbine guide vanes. 
 
 
NOTE  4. Water/methanol injection is optional and is utilized through auto matically varied flow to provide a constant level of power 
output for take-offs.  The w/m fluid should be a 63/37 mixture of water and methyl alcohol for all models.  (Rolls-Royce

TCDS  E5EU   3
AEP-1W/M Issue 5 or equivalent.)  The water used is distilled or contains a maximum of 10. ppm solids, and the methyl 
alcohol is British D Eng RD 2481 or equivalent.  The w/m flow varies up to a maximum of 805 gph (U.S.) for 542-10 
series and up to 859 U.S. gph for 542-4.  W/m injection should not be used at ambient temperatures lower than -22°F (-
30°C).  The takeoff power reduces automatically with altitude since the w/m control does not compensate power output for 
the effects of altitude.
