See * below.
SAE  propeller shaft size
Blade shank size
Number of blades
Major model type
*A dash number of 300 or lower added to the propeller model designation indicates the suitable type of
pitch control (see Note 3) and minor changes which do not affect eligibility.  Dash numbers of 301 or
above include the complete blade assembly and all of the rotating deicing system components, as well as
indicating the suitable type of pitch control (see Note 3) and minor changes.
