 Type Certificate No. E8EU issued March 25, 1969. 
The aviation authority for France, the Direction Generale de L'Aviation Civile (DGAC), originally type certificated this engine. 
The FAA validated this product under U.S. Type Certificate Number E8EU.  Effective September 28, 2003, the European 
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this product on behalf of France. 
Import Requirements:   To be considered eligible for installation on U.S. registered aircraft, each new engine to be exported to 
the United States with the DGAC 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 E8EU, is in a 
condition for safe operation and has undergone a final operational check.

B. Oil: Normal oil pressure, psig 21 to 72 - - 
  Minimum low pressure warning 16 - - 
     
NOTE 3. Ratings  (Refer to performance diagrams, Operation Manual): 
 
 Engine ratings are based on following conditions: 
 
 -  Minimum guaranteed power, static, sea level, ISA standard, atmospheric conditions; (i.e. 15°C, 29.92 "Hg) 
 -  No air bleed 
 -  No power off-take 
 -  At constant nominal engine speed of 43,089 rpm. 
 
 These ratings are minimum acceptable final test bed pe rformance of production and overhauled engines on "Froude" 
- brake with calibrated TURBOMECA air inlet pipe Ref. 6.103.43.905.0 and short straight jet pipe with a circular 
9.00 in Dia. outlet. 
 
 For engine rating at non-standard day conditions refer to Installation Manual. 
 Jet thrust is converted to equivalent shaft horsepower by  dividing the thrust value in lb by a factor of 2.5. 
 
 Equivalent shaft horsepower (ESHP) = Jet Thrust lb   +  SHP 
   2.5 
 
 Nominal torque is at 789 SHP for Astazou XIV-C, -C 1; 810 SHP for Astazou XVI-F1; and 938 SHP for Astazou 
XVI-C1, -F and corresponds to 100% torquemeter reading.  Torque limit is 110%.

NOTE 5. Engine air bleed is  orifice limited as follows: 
 
 - For aircraft services 0.440 lb/sec. 
 - For air intake anti-icing 0.110 lb/sec. 
 
NOTE 6. This engine meets the FAA require ments for adequate turbine disk integrity and rotor blade containment and does 
not require external armoring. 
 
NOTE 7. This engine includes an intake anti-icing system s upplied by compressor bleed and has been certificated to FAR 
33.67(c) requirements for operation in icing conditions.

 -  Use of fuel anti-icing additives mu st be per Operation Manual Instructions. 
 
NOTE 13. Oil System  
 Oil capacity should be checked by reading sight glasse s on the outboard side of each engine because of wing 
dihedral.   
 
 Capacities (U.S. Gal.) are as follows: 
 - Total tank  3.83 
 - At max. sight glass level  2.10 
 - At min. sight glass level  1.45

 - Maximum usable  1.30 
  
 Maximum oil consumpti on:  0.130 U.S. Gal/Hr. 
 
NOTE 14. Reserved 
 
NOTE 15. Distilled Water Injection  
 ASTAZOU XIV-C1 and XVI-C1 have provisi on for distilled water injection at a fixed rate of 39.5 U.S. gal/hr in the 
air intake for partial takeoff power restoration when the engine operates at higher than standard O.A.T. and/or 
altitude.  This water injection is limited to operation at OAT above +10°C and it does not change turbine entry 
temperature not the speed and torque limits applicable at takeoff without distilled water injection.  Power recovery 
rate is indicated in the Operation Manual.
