Engine Limitations

  1. What are the engine operating limitations during starting?
    T5 limits :

    ≤ 925°C            = no time limits

    925°C - 980°C   = 10 seconds

    980°C - 1090°C = 2 seconds

    > 850°C            = should be reported and investigated for cause
  2. When the engine is at idle, what are the engine operating limitations the pilot should know?
    T5 limit : 660°C, if the T5 temperature approaches the 660°C idle limit, either increase NG or reduce engine loads (for example, turn off the generator) to stay below the idle temperature limit

    Oil pressures limit : On the ground , 40-80 PSI are acceptable

    Oil pressures limit : In flight, 80-100 PSI at NG >72% if the oil temperature is >60°C




    Oil pressures limit : <80 PSI, reduce power setting and complete the flight

    Oil pressures limit : <40 PSI is unsafe, minimum power required or shutdown the affected engine
  3. Describe the engine operating limits during takeoff!
    Torque : 50 PSI

    NP : 96 %

    T: 725 °C

    NG : 101.6 %

    Oil pressures : 80-100 PSI

    Oil temperatures : 10-99 °C
  4. Describe the engine operating limits during climb and cruise!
    Torque : 50 PSI

    NP : 96 %

    T5 : 695 °C

    NG : —

    Oil pressures : 80-100 PSI

    Oil temperatures : 10-99 °C



    Normal Climb Setting: 75% - 96% NP , as desired by the pilot.

    Normal Cruise Setting: 75% - 91% NP , as desired by the pilot.
  5. What are the engine operating limitations during reverse operation?
    Torque : 50 PSI (Reverse power operations is limited to one minute)

    NP : 91 % ± 1 %

    T5 : 725 °C

    NG : 101.5 %

    Oil pressures : 80-100 PSI

    Oil temperatures : 0-99 °C
