Type Certificate No. P-913 issued February 15, 1960. Date of Application for Type Certificate January 20, 1960. Production basis Production Certificate No. 10. P-914 2 NOTE 1. Hub Model Designation Hub model designation ( ) HC - A 3 X ( ) - ( ) ( ) Denotes minor change not affecting eligibility L denotes left hand rotation Denotes specific design features (see Note 4) F denotes special flange, 4" B.C. K denotes SAE No. 2 flange with 1/2" bolts and 3/4" bushings 20 denotes SAE No. 20 spline 21 denotes S.B.A.C. No. 2 spline Hartzell blade shank size Number of blades Identifies basic design Hartzell controllable Blank indicates dowel location with respect to centerline through blade sockets viewing hub from flange mounting face 90° and 270° clockwise P indicates propeller installed with T/C mark on propeller matching T/C mark on engine flange NOTE 2. Blade Model Designation Blade model designation L 84 33 ( ) - ( ) Q Q when used denotes 1° - 90° factory bent tip for cutoff diameter Number of inches cut off from basic diameter A denotes 8433 blades with 1° sweepback in lieu of 2° sweepback If used B denotes deicing boots C denotes modified blade S denotes square tips Basic model or template Basic diameter in inches If used, denotes left hand blade Blade Model 8433-0 incorporates a round tip and blade Model 8433S-0 incorporates a square tip. Blades of reduced length, such as -2, -4, etc., incorporate both round tips and square tips and may or may not be marked with an "S" in the blade model designation, i.e., 8433S-2 incorporates square tips, while 8433-2 may have either round or square tips. NOTE 3. Pitch Control. Eligible with the following governors: Hartzell Models B-(x)-(x), D-(x)-(x) and F-(x)-(x) Wt. 4.5 lb. Hoff Model 1-000-007 Series Wt. 3.5 lb. Woodward Model X210XXX or X210X-XXX Hamilton Standard Models 1A4, 1M12, 1P12 and 1Q12 Wt. 4.5 lb. 3 P-913 The Hartzell B-0 is the only model which is interchangeable with the Hamilton Standard 1M12 and 1Q12. Other Hartzell models are not interchangeble with any Hamilton Standard model without modification of the latter. The HC-A3XK-4 propeller has no counterweights; hence requires a governor to supply oil to increase pitch. The D-(x)-(x) and F-(x)-(x) governors meet this requirement. NOTE 4. (a) Feathering. The -2 model incorporates feathering and unfeathering features. (b) Reversing. The -5 model incorporates reversing but not feathering. NOTE 5. Left Hand Models. The left hand version of an approved model propeller is eligible at the same rating and diameter as listed for the right hand model. See NOTES 1 and 2. NOTE 6. Interchangeability (a) Propellers. Only propellers listed in this data sheet are eligible as replacements for corresponding propellers listed in Type Certificate Data Sheet P-884 in accordance with Note 6 of P-884. Propellers listed in P-884 are not eligible to replace propellers listed in this data sheet. (b) Model 8433A blades are interchangeable with 8433 blades provided all blades in the same propeller are identical. NOTE 7. Accessories (a) Propeller Anti-Icing (1) Eligible with fluid feed shoes or Icex boots installed in accordance with Hartzell Special Instructions No. 59. (2) Eligible with Hartzell fluid feed equipment on propeller models for which the equipment is available. (b) Propeller Deicer (1) Eligible with Goodrich deicing kit 77-xxx or 65-xxx when installed according to instruction given in Goodrich Report 59-728.
