      (c) Maximum governor output pressure: 350 psi for all propeller models 
      (d) Propeller model 3A1 complies with the propeller airworthiness requirements when used with the Thielert 
Model TAE-125 series engine (refer to TCDS E00069EN) with an integrated propeller control.  If the engine 
or its control system is changed, it must be shown that the propeller – as integrated with the changed engine 
and its control system – still complies with the propeller certification basis.  Also, if a change to the propeller 
changes the engine, it must be shown that the engine remains in compliance with its certification basis 
      (e) Propeller model 3A2 complies with the propeller airworthiness requirements when used with the Austro 
Model E4P series engine with an integrated propeller control.  If the engine or its control system is changed, it 
must be shown that the propeller – as integrated with the changed engine and its control system – still 
complies with the propeller certification basis.  Also, if a change to the propeller changes the engine, it must 
be shown that the engine remains in compliance with its certification basis. 
      (f) All governors must be approved as part of the aircraft installation regardless of manufacturer.  (See Note 10) 
    
 Note 4: Feathering The 3A1 models do not feather  
   The 3A2 models incorporate feathering and unfeathering features. 
      Reversing Not applicable 
    
 Note 5: Left-Hand Models 
     The left-hand version of an approved propeller model is approved at the same rating and diameter as listed for the 
right-hand model.  (See Notes 1 and 2) 
   
 
 Note 6: Interchangeability  
      (a) Propellers 
         Not applicable 
      (b) Governors 
         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. 
      (c) Blades 
         Not applicable 
      (d) Ice Protection Systems 
         Refer to Hartzell Service Letter HC-SL-30-260 for ice protection system component

 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 lim ited to, 
the addition of a turbocharger or turbonormalizer, increased 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.

 Note 10: Propeller installation must be approved as part of the aircraft Type Certificate and demonstrate compliance with 
the applicable aircraft airworthiness standards. 
    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. 
   Propellers with composite blades must be evaluated for bird impact resistance prior to approval on any type 
aircraft.  Hartzell Propeller must perform tests and/or analyses based on aircraft configuration and operating 
conditions to determine the potential hazard as a result of a bird impact. 
  
 Note 11: Special Limits 
    (a) Life Limits and Mandatory Inspections 
    (1) Airworthiness limitations, if any, are specified in Hartzell Manual 411. 
    (2) The propeller Certificate Management Certification Branch must evaluate the propeller 
installation for each new aircraft installation to assess possible changes in the airworthiness 
limitations. 
   
 Note 12: Special Notes 
     (a) Refer to Hartzell Manual no. 202( ) for overspeed and overtorque limits. 
     (b) Refer to Hartzell Service Letter HC-SL-61-61( ) for overhaul periods.
