Page 5 of 6 P-603
The blade model designation suffixed with "T" indicates a diameter reduction by telescoping.  Blade models
with square cutoffs in accordance with Hamilton Sundstrand blade drawings are suffixed with "S."  Telescoped
blades and blades with a square cut-off are eligible at the same ratings and diameter  limits as blades with
standard cut-off.  Diameter limits shown are nominal diameters of the assembled propeller and do not include
the ± 1/ 8" manufacturing tolerance permissible for propellers with basic diameter less than 14 feet or ± 1/ 4"
permissible for propellers with basic diameter 14 feet or larger.
NOTE 3. Pitch Control.  Eligible with Hamilton Sundstrand constant speed governor only.
NOTE 4. Feathering.  Eligible with full feathering control installed in accordance with the propeller manufacturer's
instructions.
NOTE 5. Left-hand Models.  The left hand version of an approved model propeller is eligible at the same rating and
diameter limitations as listed for the right hand model.
NOTE 6. Interchangeable Blades.  Blades with an "S" or "T" suffix (see NOTE 2) are not interchangeable aerodynamically
or vibrationwise with each other or with blades having normal round cutoffs.  Only blades listed in the same
group of the following groups are aerodynamically similar.  Only blades listed under the same type in any one
group are structurally similar.  A higher type number implies a higher strength.  This is due to differences in
alloys and in cold working of the blade surface.
Type 1 includes standard alloy nonsurface treated blades:  Type 2, hard alloy nonsurface treated blades;
Type 3, hard alloy blades with cold worked shanks; Type 4, hard alloy blades with cold worked shanks and
shot peened surfaces.
The following defines the degree to which these blades may be used interchangeably in the same diameter
without a flight performance test and without a vibration survey:
Type 2 blades may replace Type 1 blades in the same group, but not vice-versa.
Type 3 blades may replace either Type 1 or Type 2 blades in the same group, but not
vice-versa.
Type 4 blades may replace either Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3 blades in the same group, but not
vice-versa.
Reference should always be made to the ratings of the blades, and blades with different model numbers cannot
be incorporated in the same propeller unless the aircraft certification specifically permits this.

*6955 is identical to 6519 except that 6955 has cold worked shanks.  6955 may relace 6519 but not
vice-versa.  Also 6937 is identical to 6955 except that 6937 is a hard alloy blade while 6955 is standard
alloy (both have cold worked shanks.)  Therefore, 6937 may replace 6955 but not vice-versa.  6549 and
6955 are not structurally interchangeable.
 **7147 is identical to 6507 except that 7147 has a cold worked shank and no chafing ring.  7147 may replace
6507 but not vice-versa.  Also, 6965 is identical to 7147 except that 6955 is a hard alloy blade while 7147
is standard alloy (both have cold worked shanks).  Therefore, 6965 may replace 7147 but not vice-versa.
6501 and 7147 are not structurally interchangeable.

Also:
   **7203 is identical to 6507 except that 7203 has a cold rolled shank and shot-peened inboard airfoil section.  7203
       may replace 6507 but not vice-versa.
 ***7149 is identical to 6477 and 6277 except that 7149 has a cold rolled shank and no chafing ring.  7149 may
replace 6477 and 6277 but not vice-versa.
NOTE 7. Accessories.
(a) Propeller Deicing
(1) Eligible with Hamilton Sundstrand deicing slinger ring assemblies only.
(2) Eligible with Goodrich No. 3/572 propeller deicer fluid feed strips.*
(3) Eligible with Goodrich No. 36889 propeller deicer fluid feed strips.*
*When installed in accordance with Hamilton Sundstrand instructions regarding the cement
sequence for adhering rubber accessories to aluminum alloy blades.
(b) Propeller Spinner
(1) Eligible with spinner supplied by Hamilton Sundstrand.
NOTE 8. Shank Fairings.  A letter and a dash prefix included in the blade model designation (as A-6153) indicates
that the blade assembly includes molded shank fairings.  Fairings are eligible only on those model blades
specifically designated.  The following procedure should be followed when determining if blades with molded
shank fairings are eligible on a model aircraft.
(a) Refer to the pertinent propeller specification and determine whether an assembly of the blade model in
question is eligible to incorporate a molded shank fairing.
(b) Refer to the pertinent aircraft specification and determine whether the same model blade with
incorporated molded shank fairing is eligible in the propellers of that model aircraft.
NOTE 9. Special Limits.  Not applicable.
NOTE 10.  Special Notes.  The word "eligible" as used herein does not signify approval as part of this type certificate.
"Eligible" accessories and pitch controls must be approved as part of the aircraft type certificate upon compliance
with the applicable aircraft airworthiness requirements.
