VI. Notes
1. Dry weight includes basic engine accessories and optional equipment as listed in the engine
specification of the manufacturer.
2. The engine ratings are based on dry sea level static ICAO Standard Atmospheric conditions.
Compressor intake screen installed. No external accessory loads and no air bleed. The quoted
ratings are obtainable on a test stand with the specified fuel and oil without intake ducting
and using exhaust stubs P/N ESK7630. With fluid augmentation, the take-off rating is available
to 21°C (69°F) for the PT6A-45A, and to 29°C (84°C) for the PT6A-45B. Use of fluid
augmentation limited as follows:
