NOTE 1: Maximum permissible continuous engine operating speeds for the engine rotors are as follows: TFE731 Models Low Pressure Rotor (N1) RPM High Pressure Rotor (N2) RPM -2 20,688 29,692 -2A, -2B, -3, -3A, -3B, -3C, - 3D, -5, -5A 21,000 29,692 -2BR, -3R, -3AR, -3BR, - 3CR, -3DR, -4, -5R, -5AR 21,000 29,989 -2C 20,688 30,100 -4R, -5B 21,000 30,300 -5BR 21,000 30,540 E6WE 4 of 7 NOTE 2: Temperature Limits: Maximum Interstage Turbine Temperature (ITT) Limits: °F (°C) Maximum Oil Inlet Temperature Range, °F (°C) for all engine models: Fan gearbox oil temperature transient of 300°F (149°C) for a maximum of 2 minutes is permitted for all operational altitudes. External engine components, maximum temperature (limiting temperature of specific components) are as specified in the applicable engine installation manual, (See Note 16). Operation at an engine fuel inlet temperature as high as 135°F (57°C) and as low as -65°F (-54°C) is approved with fuel at or above the pour point during starting. If fuel that does not contain an approved anti-icing additive is used, an approved engine fuel heater, or an alternate system capable of maintaining a fuel filter inlet temperature of 35°F, must be used. In installations that do not use an approved fuel heater and may extract motive flow for aircraft injector systems, engine operation with inoperative electronic fuel control is limited to a minimum inlet fuel temperature of 12°F (- 11°C) with 1000 pounds per hour (maximum) motive flow extraction and -31°F (-35°C) without motive flow extraction. Installations which are equipped with the hydromechanical fuel control heater are approved for operation with fuel inlet temperature as low as -65°F (-54°C) provided fuel is at or above pour point.

These engines meet FAA requirements for turbine disk integrity and rotor blade containment. 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 listed in the FAA approved Honeywell Aerospace US LLC Service Bulletins TFE731-72-3001 and TFE731-72-3501. NOTE 10: These engine models meet the requirements of Special Condition No. 33-44-WE-13. NOTE 11: Variation in engine configuration and installation components are identified by a suffix to the basic model on the engine nameplate, i.e. TFE734 -2-XY, (“X” denotes Honeywell Aerospace installed configurations rating code number(s) and “Y” denotes Honeywell Aerospace equipment code letter(s) E6WE 7 of 7 of aircraft manufacture), and an Engine Equipment List, those items code letter (s) of aircraft manufacture), 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 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Items coded “A” have been demonstrated as compatible with the basic engine during engine certification testing. However, the 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. NOTE 12: Power setting, power checks and control of engine thrust output in all operations is to be based on Honeywell Aerospace US LLC engine charts referring to low pressure rotor speed (N1). Speed sensors are included in the engine assembly for this purpose. NOTE 13: The TFE731-2BR, -3R, -3AR, -3BR, -3CR, -3DR, -4R, -5AR, -5BR, and -5R turbofan engines with their electronic fuel control systems are adjusted for the limits noted herein. NOTE 14: For additional authorized operation and installation detailed information, see FAA-approved sections of the applicable engine installation manual (See Note 16). NOTE 15: These engines meet the requirements of §§ 33.68, 33.71(c), 33.75, 33.77 and 33.90 effective with Amendment 33-6. NOTE 16: The engine installation manual numbers are applicable to the respective engine models as follows: IM-8001: TFE731-2, -2C, -3, -3R, -3A, -3AR, -3B, -3BR, -3C, -3CR, -3D, -3DR IM-7440: TFE731-4, -4R IM-4200: TFE731-5, -5R, -5AR, -5B, -5BR NOTE 17: These engines are in compliance with Part 34 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. ---------------------------END-----------------------
