Certification basis Type Certificate No. 195
Production basis None. The manufacturer no longer holds a production certificate for engine under this type
certificate; therefore, each engine pr oduces subsequent to February 20, 1956, is subject to a
detailed inspection for workmanship and conformity with the approved data by an FAA
representative. In addition, the engine must have a satisfactory run-in including at least five
hours at rated power and speed. Upon satisfactory completion of the above, the representative
will tag the engine with Tag Form ACA-186.

NOTE 5. Military R-915-3 engines are similar to Model L-6MBA. Military R-915-5, and -7 engines are similar to
Model L-6MN. All military engines should be inspected to installation in civil aircraft to ascertain that
piston rings, part numbers 30292, 30293, and 30294 are incorporated. The piston ring part numbers are
located on the upper side of ring. Jacobs Service Bulletin No. 31 discusses the installation of these improved
rings together with other engine refinements. When used in certificated aircraft, the designation plate of
military engines should be stamped with the corresponding certificated model designation and the T.C.
Number. If there is no room for this information on the existing plate, a new one may be secured from the
engine manufacturer in exchange of the old one.
