Page No. 1 2 3 Rev. No. 5 5 5 P61GL 2 (2) This propeller has been subjected by the ma nufacturer to a final operational check and is in a proper state of airworthiness. Refe rence FAR Section 21.500 which provides for the airworthiness acceptance of aircraft engines or propellers manufactured outside the U.S. for which a U.S. type certificate has been issu ed. Additional guidance is contained in FAA Advisory Circular 21-23, Airworthiness Certif ication of Civil Aircraft, Engines, Propellers and Related Products, Imported into the United States. Note 1. Propeller Model Designation. The model designation of a complete Dowty Rotol propeller assembly consists of the basic model designation with prefix and suffix letters and numbers as shown below: P r e f i x B a s i c m o d e l d e s i g n a t i o n S u f f i x (c) R 321 / 4 -82 -F / 13 S u f f i x n u m b er denotes interchangeable design standard Engine Flange Mounted B l a d e S h a n k s i z e N o . 8 2 N u m b e r o f b l a d e s - 4 Prefix number denotes non-interchangeable design standard R o t o l ( m a n u f a c t u r e r ) Civil (non-military) The prefix number indicates the design series, and propellers with different prefix numbers are not generally interchangeable. Certain models may be interchanged as complete aircraft sets on the advice of the propeller manufacturer only. The suffix number is used to record minor alterations which do not affect interchangeability. Note 2. Blade Model Designation. Dowty Rotol propeller blades are identified by a serialized part number only which does not constitute a model designation. A dash number following the part number indicates the type of finish. Note 3. Pitch Control. Eligible with Woodward Governor type 210749 (AiResearch P/N 897410-2 or -4). Note 4. (a) Feathering. Model incorporates feathering and unfeathering features by means of counterweights and Motor/Pump Unit. (b) Reversing. Model incorporates reversing feature. Note 5. Left Hand Model. These propellers are designed and manufactured for left hand tractor only. Note 6. Interchangeable Blades. Only blades of the same part numbers are interchangeable and may be incorporated in the same propeller. Note 7. Accessories. (a) Propeller Deicing.
