Production basis None. The manufacturer does not hold a production certificate for the production of
engines under this certificate and, therefore, each engine so produced is subject to an
inspection for workmanship and conformity with the approved data by a Federal
Aviation Administration representative. In addition, the engine must demonstrate rated
power, for given ambient conditions, during sea level dynamometer testing. Upon
satisfactory completion of the above, the FAA representative will tag the engine with tag
form 8130-3.

(1) Direction of rotation viewing pad, cw-clockwise, ccw-counter-clockwise.
(2) Continuous torque associated with lucas pgc400 series fuel control.
(3) Continuous torque associated with Globe Industries P/N 25140-22A703 tach generator.
(4) Continuous torque associated with Hartzell Model T-1 propeller governor.
(5) No power extraction allowed.
(6) Aircraft services air extraction may not exceed 5% of engine mass flow.
(7) Provision for fuel venting emission control is not included on this engine and, therefore, airframe
compliance must be provided in accordance with sfar-27.
(8) These engines have not been tested to evaluate the effect of bird, ice ball, and foreign object ingestion,
and are, therefore, limited to protective inlet installations. the bird, ice ball, and foreign object ingestion
characteristics of the protective airframe inlet and engine combination must be evaluated by the FAA
prior to approval of the engine installation.
(9) These engines meet FAA requirements for operation in icing conditions; however, icing characteristics
of the airframe inlet system and the engine combination must be evaluated by the FAA prior to
installation approval.
(10) Installation of the TP500E engine in a certificated aircraft is not authorized until the required
maintenance and overhaul manuals become available.
(11) Certain engine parts are life limited. these limits are listed in FAA approved service bulletin number
500E-72-88-A.
