Revision 8
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) Only blades listed in the same group of the following listed groups are sufficiently similar
aerodynamically and vibrationwise to permit interchangeability in the same diameter without a flight
test.
Group (A) P9349, P9350.
(2) 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.
(3) Hard and soft alloy blades of the same model designation are interchangeable. (See NOTE 2)
(b) Propellers
Propellers listed in this data sheet are approved to replace the corresponding propellers listed on TCDS nos.
P2EA, P-891 and P-907 provided the propeller designations are the same except that the characters “B3R”,
“B3W”, “93Z” and “B3Z” from those propellers are replaced by “B3P” and the associated blades are prefixed
by the letter “P”. Propellers listed in this data sheet are interchangeable with corresponding models on
TCDS P28EA. (see NOTES 1 and 2) See table below (read across rows):
Propeller models on TCDS P-891 may be replaced by corresponding models on TCDS P29EA
HC-93Z30-2 HC-B3P30-2
Propeller models on TCDS P-907 may be replaced by corresponding models on TCDS P29EA
HC-B3Z30-2 HC-B3P30-2
Propeller models on TCDS P2EA may be replaced by corresponding models on TCDS P29EA
HC-B3W30-2 HC-B3P30-2
HC-B3W20-4 HC-B3P20-4
Propeller models on TCDS P29EA are interchangeable with corresponding models on TCDS P28EA
HC-B3P30-2 HC-B3R30-2
HC-B3P20-4 HC-B3R20-4
HC-B3P30-1 HC-B3R30-1
(c) Governors (See NOTE 3)
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.
The Hartzell B-0 is the only model which is interchangeable with the Hamilton Standard 1M12 or 1Q12.
Other Hartzell models are not interchangeable with any Hamilton Standard model without modification of the
latter.
(d) Ice Protection Systems
Refer to Hartzell service Letter HC-SL-30-260 for ice protection system component interchangeability

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 limited to,
the addition of a turbocharger or turbonormalizer, increased boost pressure, increased compression ratio, increased RPM, alte red
ignition timing, electronic ignition, full authority digital engine controls (FADEC), or tuned induct ion 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.
