( )A3MV( ) models: FAR Part 35 with amendments 35-1 through 35-6 effective Aug. 18, 1990 Type Certificate No. P6EA issued Aug. 15, 1962 Date of application for Type Certificate: July 27, 1962 Models certificated on or subsequent to March 7, 1967 are certified under Delegation Option Authorization provisions of FAR Part 21 Subpart J. Production Basis: Production Certificate no. 10 NOTE 1. Hub Model Designation ( ) HC A 3 V ( ) - ( ) ( ) L denotes left hand rotation Any other character denotes a minor change not affecting eligibility Denotes specific design features (see NOTE 4) F denotes special flange with six 1/2” bolts and two 1/2” dowels on a 4” bolt circle K denotes SAE # 2 flange with six 1/2” bolts and four 3/4” drive bushings on a 4-3/4” bolt circle 20 denotes SAE #20 spline 21 denotes SBAC #2 spline V denotes a double shoulder blade retention system MV denotes a single shoulder blade retention system Number of blades Identifies basic design Hartzell Controllable Dowel location with respect to blade centerline when viewing hub from flange mounting face Blank: 90 and 270 deg. clockwise E,P Align T/C marks on propeller and engine flange NOTE 2: Blade Model Designation L V 84 33 ( ) - ( )Q Number of inches cut off from basic diameter Q when used denotes special 1” x 90 deg. factory-bent tip. No cutoff permitted. R when used denotes specifically rounded tip for cutoff diameter. * C or D denotes a dimensional modification from the original design B denotes deicing boots A when used with 8433 blades denotes 1 deg. of sweepback in lieu of the standard 2 deg. R or S when used denote round or square tips respectively for the basic diameter * N denotes a shank modification (see NOTE 6) Note: one or more letters may be used as appropriate Basic blade model Basic diameter in inches V denotes a double shoulder blade shank with internal needle bearing MV denotes a single shoulder blade shank with internal needle bearing L when used denotes left hand blade * Some blade designs incorporate round or square tip shapes, yet have no “R” or “S” in their model designation.

Pitch Control (a) Approved with Hartzell governors per drawings C-4770 and C-4772. Wt.: 4.5 lb. D - 1 - 4 Z Governor model designation L when used indicates left hand rotation Z when used indicates drive coupling type Any other character denotes a minor change not affecting eligibility Minor adjustment not affecting eligibility Minor adjustment to obtain engine/propeller/governor compatibility Basic body and major parts modification (b) Approved with Hoof model 1-000-007 series Wt.: 3.5 lb. (c) Approved with Hamilton Standard models 1A4, 1M12, 1P12, and 1Q12 Wt.: 4.5 lb. (d) Approved with Woodward model X210XXX Wt.: 3.5 lb The Hartzell B-0 is the only model which is interchangeable with the Hamilton Standard 1M12 and 1Q12. Other Hartzell models are not interchangeable with any Hamilton Standard model without modification of the latter. The HC-A3(M)V(F,K)-4 propeller has no counterweights, hence require a governor which supplies oil to increase pitch. Governors on drawing C-4770 meet this requirement. NOTE 4. (a) Feathering The -1 and -4 models do not feather. The -2, -3, -5 and -7 models incorporate feathering and unfeathering features. The -4 models do not have counterweights. (b) Reversing The -3, -5 and -7 models incorporate reversing when used with the appropriate controls. 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) Blades (1) Blades with an “N” suffix, such as (M)V8433N, are interchangeable with corresponding blades without the “N” suffix, provided that all blades in the same propeller are identical. (2) Blades with “M” prefix, such as MV8433N, can be substituted for corresponding blades without the “M” prefix provided that all blades in the same propeller are identical and that the hub model also contains the characters “MV”. Blades without the “M” prefix cannot be substituted for those with the “M” prefix. (b) Propellers (1) Propellers listed in this data sheet may replace corres ponding propellers listed in Type Certificate Data Sheets P14EA, P-913 and P-884. (2) Propellers listed in T.C.D.S. nos. P14EA, P-913 and P-884 may not repl ace propellers listed in this data sheet. (3) In the model designation HC-A3(V,MV)( ), the “A” may be substituted for propeller models with “8” in the same location and “V” or “MV” may be substituted for propeller models with “X” in the same location as listed in T.C.D.S nos. P14EA, P-913 and P-884. (4) In the model designation HC-A3(V,MV)( ), the “M V” may be substituted for “V”, however “V” may not replace “MV”. (c) 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. P6EA Page 4 of 7 NOTE 7. Accessories (a) Propeller anti-icing (weight of anti-icing equipment extra) (1) Approved with fluid feed boots listed in Hartzell approved type design data when installed in accordance with Hartzell specification H-S-2 or Manual 133( ).

Shank Fairings Not Applicable NOTE 9. Special Limits Table of Propeller - Engine Combinations Approved Vibrationwise foe 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 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 ha ve the potential to increase propeller stresses and are not approved by this list. Such modifications include, but are not limite d to, the addition of a turbocharger or turbonormalizer, increased boost pressure, increased compression ratio, increased RPM, altere d 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. Hub Blade Max. Dia. Min. Dia.
