Note 8: Shank Fairings Not applicable. Note 9: Special Limits Not applicable. Note 10: 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. 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.
