 NOTE 6:  Interchangeability
  (a) Blades  
  (1) 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. 
  (2) Only blades listed in the same groups of the following listed groups are sufficiently similar 
aerodynamically and vibrationwise to permit interchangeability in the same diameter without a flight 
test. 
   Group (a) 8447(N)-8 to -14, 8447A(N)-8 to -14 
   Group (b) 8447(N)-12A to -16A, 8447A(N)-12A to -16A 
   Group (c) 8447(N)-12R to -16R, 8447A(N)-12R to -13R 
  (b) Governors  (See NOTE 3) 
  (1) 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. 
  (2) The Hartzell B-0 is the only model which is interchangeable with the Hamilton Standard 1M12 and 
1Q12.  Other Hartzell models are not interchangeable with any Hamilton Standard model without 
modification of the latter. 
  (c) Propellers  (See NOTES 1 and 2) 
  (1) The following propeller models may be replaced by corresponding propellers listed in Type Certificate 
Data Sheet P16EA as indicated below.  Propellers listed in this data sheet are not approved to replace 
propellers listed in P16EA.  For example (B)HC-92W( ) models using blades with a “W” prefix may 
replace corresponding (B)HC-92Z( ) models using blades with no prefix.

 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 c onfigurations on the engine type certificat e unless specifically stated otherwise.  
Modifications to the engine or airframe that alter the power of the engine models listed be low during any phase of operation 
have the potential to increase propeller stresses and are not approve d by this list.   Such modi fications include, but are not 
limited to, the addition of a turbocharger or turbonormalizer, increased boost pressure, increas ed compression ratio, increased  
RPM, altered ignition timing, electronic ignition, full authority digital engine controls (FADEC), or tuned induction or 
exhaust.  Also, any change to the mass or stiffness of the crankshaft/counterweight assembly is not approved by this list.
