(1) Value linked to 100 % NP.
(2) Oil temperature must be maintained above 45ºC to ensure protection for the engine air inlet against ice
accumulation.
(3) Permissible for completion of flight provided TQ does not exceed 75.2 % during climb and 73.13 %
during cruise.
(4) Up to 75 % NH only.
(5) ITT limits depend on outside air temperature. (765º limit at OAT 15ºC and above).
(6) Single engine operation only, beyond 5 mn.
(7) MCT rating is the max power certified for continuous use. In-flight emergencies are the only conditions
for which MCT use is authorized.
NOTE : Flight with an engine running and the propeller feathered is not permitted.

PROPELLERS
 Run ups must be performed into the wind.
Ground operations with crosswind between 5 and 20 Kt should
Propeller Ground Operation be not exceed 58% TQ.
Avoid static operation between 41.6 % and 62.5 % NP.
Avoid operation in feather above 66.6 % TQ.
Propeller In Flight Operation Do not use NP below 82%.
