These engines meet FAA requirements for operation in icing conditions when the intake system conforms with the
PWC Installation Manual instruction for inertial separation of snow and icing particles; when the alternative
approved alcohol system is used, flight in visible moisture is restricted as specified in the PWC Installation
Manual. These engines also meet FAA requirements for adequate disk integrity and rotor blade containment and
do not require external armoring.
Fuel anti-icing additives conforming to specifications 3GP526A PFA 55MB, MIL-I-27686E may be used, at a
concentration not exceeding 0.15% by volume.
TCDS E4EA PAGE 21
Augmentation fluid, when used, must meet the requirements of PWC Specification CPW No. 328.
Reversing application the PT6A-6A and PT6A-20 engines must be equipped with Woodward Propeller Governor Type

The following emissions standards promulgated in 14 CFR Part 34, Amendment 5a, effective October 23, 2013, and
40 CFR Part 87, effective October 31, 2012, have been complied with for: PT6A-140, -140AG, -140A and PT6A-
65SC.
Fuel Venting Emission Standards: 14 CFR §§ 34.10(b) and 34.11; in addition 40 CFR §§ 87.10(b) and 87.11.
For the PT6A-140, -140AG, -140A and PT6A-65SC the engine manufacturer has declared that compliance has also
been demonstrated with the CAEP/6 emission standards in ICAO’s Annex 16, Volume II, Third Edition, dated July
2008. The fuel venting requirements are applicable. The smoke and emissions requirements are not applicable
because the PT6A-140 and -140AG at 867 shp (647 kw), the PT6A-140A at 900shp (671 kw) and the PT6A-65SC at
1110 shp (828 kw), are under the power threshold of 1000 KW for applicability to turboprops.

Reference FAR Section 21.500, which provides for the airworthiness acceptance of aircraft engines or propellers
manufactured outside of the U.S. for which a U.S. type certificate has been issued.
Additional guidance is contained in FAA Advisory Circular 21.23, Airworthiness Certification of Civil Aircraft,
Engines, Propellers and Related Products, Imported into the United States.

The maximum output shaft overspeed limit is 110 percent (except 100% for PT6A-38, 41, 41AG, 42 and 42A only)
at all ratings and may be employed for sustained periods in emergencies.
The normal steady state output shaft operating limit speeds are defined as;
2200 rpm (100%) for the PT6A-6, 6A, 6B, 6/C20, 11, 11AG, -15AG, -20, -20A, -20B, -21, -25, -25A, -25C, -27, -
28, -29, -34, -34B, -34AG, -36,
2190 rpm (99.6%) for the PT6A-35,
2000 rpm (90.7%) for the PT6A-38, -41, -41AG, -42, -42A, -52, and -61,
1700 rpm (100%) for the PT6A-45,-45A,-45B,-45R,-65B,-65R,-60A,-60AG,-65AR,-65AG, -65SC,
1900 rpm for the -135, 135A, 110, 112, 114, 114A, 121, 116, 140, 140AG, 140A,
1210 rpm (100%) for the PT6A-50,
6230 rpm (100%) for the PT6B-9 and
6188 rpm (100%) for the PT6B-35F and PT6D-114A and is the normal steady state operating limit.
The normal steady state operating limit speed rises linearly as power is decreased, reaching a maximum of 105% at
idle power for the PT6B-9.
100% gas generator speed is defined as 37,468 rpm. Unlimited and limited gas generator speeds are:
The Maximum allowable steady state and acceleration torque, as measured by the torquemeter, are:
