AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS
DESCRIPTION

1.

Airworthiness Limitations
CAUTION:

OPERATORS ARE REQUIRED BY THE FAA TO COMPLY WITH THE PARTS LIFE
LIMITATIONS INDICATED HEREIN. THE OPERATOR ALONE MUST MAINTAIN
RECORDS OF BOTH HOURS AND CYCLES. BOTH TOTAL TIME AND ACCUMULATED
CYCLES OF APPLICABLE COMPONENTS MUST BE RECORDED IN PART I SERVICE
RECORD AND PART VI CYCLE RECORD PAGES RESPECTIVELY FOR THE
COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY AND TURBINE ASSEMBLY. SHOULD THE CYCLE
COUNTER BECOME INADVERTENTLY DISCONNECTED, STOP COUNTING, OR
COUNT TOO MANY OF TOO FEW CYCLES, THE CORRECT NUMBER OF CYCLES
MUST STILL BE COUNTED. FAILURE TO RECORD HOUR AND CYCLE DATA OF
APPLICABLE PARTS IN THE LOG BOOK WILL RESULT IN THOSE PARTS BEING
REPLACED AT THE OPERATORS EXPENSE WHEN ENGINES OR COMPONENTS ARE
RETURNED FOR OVERHAUL OR REPAIR. REFER TO LOG BOOK ENTRIES, PARA 13,
SECTION 72--00--00, ENGINE--DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION FOR AN EXPLANATION
OF LOG BOOK ENTRIES PERTAINING TO CYCLE AND HOUR RECORDS ON LIFE
LIMITED PARTS.

NOTE:

All Life Limited Parts removed from a type certificated product must be tagged to identify the
part. The tag or record must include the part number, serial number and current life status of
the part, hours, and cycles. Each time the part is removed, either a new tag or record must
be created, or the existing tag or record must be updated with the current life status of the
part. The tag or record must remain with the part at all times when not installed.
When a life limited part is removed from service due to meeting the published life limits,
vibropeen or etch the words life expired next to or under the part number. A life limited part,
other than new (however, proper paper work to provide traceability is still required), must
have a tag or record attached.
The following airworthiness limitations have been substantiated based on engineering
analysis that assumes this product will be operated and maintained using the procedures
and inspections provided in the ICA supplied with this product by the type certificate holder,
or its licensees. For engine life--limited parts, any repair, modification, or maintenance
procedure must be assessed for its potential affect on the life of the life--limited parts and
must be approved by the FAA.

Life Limited Parts

Chapter 05--10--00 contains FAA approved life limitations for those engine parts that are life limited.
Life limits of parts are based on total hours or total cycles, which ever occurs first.
Operating hours with respect to maintenance records means the time from the moment an aircraft
leaves the surface of the earth until it touches at the next point of landing.
A cycle is defined as a start or start attempt. The operator is assisted in maintaining a cycle count by
means of an engine furnished counter which will record the number of times the ignition exciter is
energized. (It is considered that the number of times the ignition exciter is energized and lightoff does
not occur is negligible.)
