NOTE 3. Pitch Control     Not applicable 
 
NOTE 4. (a) Feathering Not applicable 
 (b) Reversing Not applicable 
 
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) 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) Hard and soft alloy blades of the same model designation are interchangeable.  (See NOTE 2) 
  
 (b) Propellers  
   
  Propellers listed in this data sheet may be replaced by corresponding propellers listed on TCDS P30EA 
provided the propeller designations are the same except that “Z” character is replaced by “P” and that the 
associated blades are prefixed by the letter “P”.  (See NOTES 1 and 2) 
 
NOTE 7. Accessories Not applicable  
 
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 propelle r 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 appr oved 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.

NOTE 10. The propeller installation must be approved as part of the aircraft Type Certificate and demonstrate compliance 
with the applicable aircraft airworthiness requirements. 
 
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( ). 
 
NOTE 12. Special Notes
