Type Certificate no. P-891 issued July 22, 1955. Date of application for type Certificate: April 13, 1955 The following models were included in the original certification basis: HC-93Z20-2, HC-93Z20-1, HC-93Z30-2, and HC-93ZF-2 Production Basis: Production Certificate no. 10 P-891 2 of 5 Revision 16 NOTE 1: Hub Model Designation HC - 9 3 Z 20 - 2 B1 “1” denotes new split ring (AD 58-4-2) L denotes left hand rotation Any other character denotes minor change not affecting eligibility Denotes specific design features (see NOTE 4) 20 denotes SAE no. 20 spline 30 denotes SAE no. 30 spline F denotes special flange, 4” B.C. Hartzell blade shank size Number of blades Identifies basic design (see NOTE 6) Hartzell Controllable NOTE 2: Blade Model Designation L 93 49 H - 3Q Number of inches cut off from basic diameter Q when used denotes special 1” x 90 deg. factory-bent tip for cutoff diameter R denotes rounded tip Any other character denotes a tip shape not affecting eligibility B or K when used denotes deicing boots H denotes hard alloy (see NOTE 6) N denotes shank modification (see NOTE 6) Any other character denotes a minor modification not affecting eligibility Basic model or template Basic diameter in inches Denotes left hand blades NOTE 3: Pitch Control (a) Approved with Hartzell governors per drawings C-4770 and C-4772. Wt.: 4.5 to 6 lb. (see NOTE 10) B - 1 - 4 Z Governor Model Designation L when used indicates left hand rotation Z when used indicates drive coupling type Any other character denotes a minor change not affecting eligibility Minor adjustment not affecting eligibility Minor adjustment to obtain engine/propeller/governor compatibility Basic body and major parts modification (b) All models have counterweighted blades and use governor oil to decrease pitch. (see NOTE 4) (c) Governors must be approved as part of the aircraft installation regardless of manufacturer. (see NOTE 10) (d) Maximum control pressure for all models: 400 psig NOTE 4: (a) Feathering The -1 models do not feather. The -2 models incorporate feathering and unfeathering features. (b) Reversing Not applicable 3 of 5 P-891 Revision 16 NOTE 5: Left-Hand Models The left-hand version of an approved model propeller is approved at the same rating and diameter as listed for the right-hand model. (See NOTES 1 and 2) NOTE 6: Interchangeability (a) Blades (1) Only blades listed in the same group of the following listed groups are sufficiently similar aerodynamically and vibrationwise to permit interchangeability in the same diameter without a flight test. Group (1) 9349, 9350. (2) Blades with the suffix “N” in the basic model number may replace those without an “N” either individually or as a set. When the aircraft Type Certificate or Supplemental Type Certificate specifies blades with the letter “N” in the basic model number, the “N” character must be retained in all replacement blade models. For example: Blades without the “N” suffix may be replaced by “N” suffix blades. Blades with the “N” suffix may only be replaced by “N” suffix blades. (3) Hard and soft alloy blades of the same model designation are interchangeable. (See NOTE 2) (b) Propellers Only propellers listed in this data sheet may be replaced by corresponding propellers listed in Type Certificate Data Sheet no. P-907 provided the propeller designations are the same except that the identifying basic digit “9” (see NOTE 1) is replaced by the letter “B”. See Table below (read across same row). Prop models on TCDS P-891 may be replaced by Corresponding models on TCDS P-907 HC-93Z20-1 HC-93Z20-2 HC-93Z30-2 HC-93ZF-2 HC-B3Z20-1 HC-B3Z20-2 HC-B3Z30-2 HC-B3ZF-2 (c) Governors (See NOTE 3) Hartzell governors with a “Z” suffix in their model designation may be used interchangeably with corresponding governors without the “Z”. For example, the F-6-24Z is a replacement for the F-6-24 and the F-6-24 is a replacement for the F-6-24Z. The Hartzell B-0 is the only model which is interchangeable with the Hamilton Standard 1M12 or 1Q12. Other Hartzell models are not interchangeable with any Hamilton Standard model without modification of the latter. (d) Ice Protection Systems Refer to Hartzell service Letter HC-SL-30-260 for ice protection system component interchangeability P-891 4 of 5 Revision 16 NOTE 7: Accessories (a) Propeller ice protection system (weight of ice protection equipment extra) (1) Propeller models listed in this data sheet are approved for use with propeller ice protection equipment listed in Manual 159 or in other Hartzell type design data. (2) All propeller ice protection equipment must be approved as part of the aircraft installation regardless manufacturer. (See NOTE 10) (b) Propeller spinner (weight of spinner extra) (1) Approved with Hartzell and other manufacturer's spinners when listed on Hartzell type design data. (2) All propeller spinners must be approved as part of the aircraft installation regardless of manufacturer. (See NOTE 10) NOTE 8: Shank Fairings Not applicable NOTE 9: Special Limits Table of Propeller - Engine Combinations Approved Vibrationwise for Use on Normal Category Single Engine Tractor Aircraft The maximum and minimum propeller diameters that can be used from a vibration standpoint are shown below. No reduction below the minimum diameter listed is permissible, since this figure includes the diameter reduction allowable for repair purposes. The engine models listed below are the configurations on the engine type certificate unless specifically stated otherwise. Modifications to the engine or airframe that alter the power of the engine models listed below during any phase of operation have the potential to increase propeller stresses and are not approved by this list. Such modifications include, but are not limi ted to, the addition of a turbocharger or turbonormalizer, incre ased boost pressure, increased compression ratio, increased RPM, altered ignition timing, electronic ignition, full authority digital engine controls (FADEC), or tuned induction or exhaust. Also, a ny change to the mass or stiffness of the crankshaft/counterweight assembly is not approved by this list. Hub Blade Max. Dia. Min. Dia.

Propeller models listed herein consist of basic hub and blade models. Most propeller models include additional characters to denote minor changes and specific features as explained in NOTES 1 and 2. Refer to the aircraft Type Certificate Data Sheet for the specific propeller model applicable to the installation. NOTE 11: Retirement Time (a) Life Limits and Mandatory Inspections (1) Airworthiness limitations, if any, are stated in Hartzell Manual 114B or Service Letter 61( ).
