AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS

1. General

The Airworthiness Limitations section specifies mandatory Rotor Component Service Life Limits required for type certification. The Airworthiness Limitations section is approved by the Canadian Minister of Transport and specifies maintenance required by any applicable airworthiness or operational rule unless an alternative program has been approved by the Canadian Minister of Transport.

Page 2: PT6C-67C MM Chap 4-5

2. Compliance

Airworthiness regulations require the operators to record accumulated cycles of critical components as described in subsequent paragraphs. When the engine is returned to a repair facility, if the accumulated cycles can not be established using either of the approved methods, the affected parts must be discarded.

NOTE: To always permit reverting to the manual counting method, it is recommended the operator records the number of starts and flights at regular run time intervals.

3. Automatic Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) Counting

A. General

(1) Automatic LCF counting is used on the PT6C-67C engines to count the accumulated cycles on the critical components. The cycles are counted in proportion to the actual severity of engine use where cyclic usage may not conform to a single reference flight cycle.

(2) The engine rotating components listed in Table 2 are subject to low-cycle fatigue (LCF) due to cyclic operation of the engine. As a result, these parts must be replaced when the cycle limit is reached.

(3) When one of the engine rotating components (Ref. Table 2 ) is replaced by another one, all related documents must be updated with the appropriate information. Similarly, the accumulated cycles of the new engine rotating component must be entered in the Data Collection Unit (DCU) using the Engine Health Monitoring System (EHMS) (Ref. 77-40-01, MAINTENANCE PRACTICES).

NOTE: For preventive action, the counter for an assembly should always be updated to reflect the component with the highest accumulated cyclic usage.

(4) Operators must periodically record the accumulated cycles for each critical component. This data is obtained from the DCU or the aircraft Central Maintenance Computer (CMC) (Ref. Rotorcraft Maintenance Manual). The maximum recording interval is 50 hours

CAUTION: IF AUTOMATIC COUNTING BECOMES INOPERATIVE, USE MANUAL METHOD.

(5) At 50 hours ±10 hours, the operators must enter the accumulated cycles for each LCF component counter in

Page 3: PT6C-67C MM Chap 4-5

the engine logbook and perform a consistency check. This data is obtained directly from the DCU using the Ground Based Software (GBS).

(6) Do the consistency check by calculating the percentage difference of accumulated cycles between Engine No.1 and Engine No.2..

(7) Make sure the cycles for each LFC component counter (Compressor, CT and PT discs) increase at rate of a least 0.3 cycles per mission (start - flight(s) - shutdown).

(8) Compare the cumulative LCF cycle counts for each component counter between the two engines.

(9) Calculate cycles used since last consistency check for each engine as follows:

(10) Calculate cycle differences between engines no.1 and no.2:

(11) Percentage Difference = 100 X (D1D2) / (greater of DLCF1 or DLCF2) = PD (%)

(12) If the cycle count check (PD) per the step (11) above shows a calculated delta LCF for each component cycle within 10% between the two engines, continue with normal operation.

(13) Example calculation of the compressor LCF (Ref. Table 1 ):

Table 1 Example of Consistency Check Calculation

(14) If the consistency check shows a calculated accumulated percentage difference outside of the range of 10% that cannot be explained by the operation (OEI Training, rapid take-off, etc), refer to Para. B.

(15) Automatic Mode Accumulated Total Cycles are calculated using the factors provided in Table 2. To illustrate the calculation an example is provided using the following formula: Accumulated Total Cycles (Auto. Mode) = [No. of Cycles Recorded in the DCU] × Flight Count Factor

Accumulated Automatic Total Cycles = [6000 × 1.0] = 6000

(16) Total remaining cycles is calculated as:Total Cycle Limit - Accumulated Automatic Total Cycles per previous example:Total Cycles Remaining = 20000 - 6000 = 14000

(17) The values that are necessary for the algorithm that the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) uses to calculate the accumulated cycles on the critical components are in the memory module of the DCU. Therefore, the DCU and the critical components are "linked". Table 2 lists the critical component part numbers and the related DCU part number.

Table 2 PT6C-67C Engines, Part Numbers for Life Cycle Counting

B. Unserviceability of the Automatic LCF Counting

• Cumulative LCF (engine #1) = (LCF count) this check = CLCF1

• Cumulative LCF (engine #2) = (LCF count) this check = CLCF2

• Delta LCF (engine #1) = (CLCF1 count) this check - (CLCF1 count) previous check = DLCF1

• Delta LCF (engine #2) = (CLCF2 count) this check - (CLCF2 count) previous check = DLCF2

• Eng.1/Eng.2 delta = DLCF1 - DLCF2 = D1D2 (if number is -ve ignore - sign)

Example:

Part No. 3055309-01 Impeller

Flight Count Factor 1.0

Total Cycle Limit 20000

No. of Cycles Recorded in DCU or CMC 6000

NOTE: To establish total remaining life it is always necessary to add all portions of usage in both Manual and Automatic modes (see Manual Mode counting method, Para. 4.).

(1) If a fault code on the cockpit display indicates that the automatic LCF counting is not serviceable or if the consistency check is not successful (Ref. Para. 3. A. (14), the recording of the cycles must be done manually (Ref. Para. 4.). This is necessary until such time that a corrective action is taken to make the automatic LCF counting serviceable again. The following lists the steps to do when a fault code is displayed:

(a) If the fault code is displayed during a mission, the LCF counting for the mission will be reset to zero. That means that the manual recording must start from this point on.

NOTE: If the cumulative value is not available in the DCU or rotorcraft CMC, manual recording must

4. Manual Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) Counting

A. General

(1) The engine rotating components listed in Table 3 are subject to low-cycle fatigue (LCF) due to cyclic operation of the engine. As a result, these parts must be replaced when the cycle limit is reached.

(2) When one of the engine rotating components (Ref. Table 3 ) is replaced by another one, the engine logbook and all related documents must be updated with the appropriate information.

(3) Operators shall record all flights, starts and accumulated total cycles (which must be calculated) in the applicable document for each component.

NOTE: For the purpose of Accumulated Total Cycle calculation:

(4) The service life values listed in Table 2 are incorporated in the Type Approval as issued by Transport Canada. Changes to rotor component cyclic lives must be approved by Transport Canada.

(5) For continued operation in manual mode:

(6) When engine starts are not recorded, each flight is considered to have been preceded by one start (i.e.: each flight is equivalent to a full cycle) (Ref. Example No. 1).

(7) An abbreviated cycle is less severe than a full cycle. To benefit from this an abbreviated cycle factor is listed in Table 3 and used in the formula which determines accumulated total cycles (Ref. Example No. 2).

Table 3 PT6C-67C Engine Rotor Components - Service Life: Manual Life Cycle Counting

(8) Accumulated Total Cycles are calculated using the factors provided in Table 3 . To illustrate the difference in calculation of Accumulated Total Cycles between an engine operated with full cycles versus an engine operated using a combination of full and abbreviated cycles, two examples are provided using the following formula:

(a) Example No. 1 (Full cycles only and includes flights where starts are not recorded):

start from the last logbook entry.

(b) If the engine consistency check is not successful, the manual counting method must be used from thelast successful consistency check.

(c) After the automatic LCF counting is made serviceable again, the DCU must be programmed with the newaccumulated cycle values for each critical component (Ref. 77-40-01, MAINTENANCE PRACTICES).

• A full cycle is an engine start followed by one flight then by a shut-down.

• A start is an engine start followed by one or more flights.

• A Flight Count Factor is a multiplying factor that can be used to credit or debit life to the components listed in Table 3 to reflect the aircraft application of the engine. This factor can also be specific to an operator that diverges from the missions described in step .

• An abbreviated cycle is an engine start followed by multiple flights and one shut-down (i.e. abbreviated cycles are equivalent to the number of flights minus the number of starts).

• Operators which have many touch-and-go flights, or frequent scheduled in-flight shutdowns, such as used within training missions; or which include more than 10 flights per hour must submit their mission profiles to Pratt & Whitney Canada for life cycle analysis.

• Operators making scheduled or frequent use of the engine's highest allowable normal rated power must submit their mission profile to Pratt & Whitney Canada for analysis.

5. Service Life Marking Method

At overhaul or major refurbishment all rotor components must be marked in accordance with the applicable Overhaul Manual P/N 3045333.

The same component (e.g. disk, impeller, etc.) can be installed in different models, providing the part number is authorized to be installed in the specific engine models (Ref. applicable Airworthiness Limitations).

The cyclic limit for the component will be the same irrespective of the model. However, the flight count factor (FCF) can be different. Therefore, the accumulated total cycles of a component is calculated by adding the individual cycles accumulated on the different models, taking into consideration the different factors.

6. Mandatory Inspection/Maintenance Intervals for Single or Twin Engine Operation (at OEI ratings)

A. General

The following requirements apply to the engine that did not become inoperative. The engine that became inoperative will require inspection/repair in accordance with the applicable engine manuals.

B. Rating Structure

The engine rating structure has two different One Engine Inoperative (OEI) power ratings defined as follows:

C. Mandatory Requirements Following Operation at OEI Power Ratings

(1) 2½ Minute OEI Power Rating

Each excursion into the 2½ minute OEI power rating must be limited in duration to 2½ minutes. Eachengine may accumulate up to a total of 15 minutes of operation at the 2½ minute OEI power rating.

If flight operation continues after excursion into the 2½ minute OEI power rating, then do mandatory inspections and maintenance in accordance with Chapter 05-10-00, Engine Operating Limits.

If flight operation continues after accumulating a total of 15 minutes of excursions into the 2½ minute OEI power rating, then do mandatory inspections and maintenance in accordance with Chapter 05-10-00, Engine Operating Limits.

(2) Continuous OEI Power Rating

Each engine may be operated at the Continuous OEI power rating in accordance with Chapter 05-10-00, Engine Operating Limits.

If flight operation continues after excursion into the Continuous OEI power rating, then do mandatory inspections and maintenance in accordance with Chapter 05-10-00, Engine Operating Limits.

If flight operation continues after accumulating the maximum allowable time into the Continuous OEI power rating, then do mandatory inspections and maintenance in accordance with Chapter 05-10-00, Engine Operating Limits.

(3) Power Assurance Checks

To make sure of the availability of the 2½ minute OEI power rating, power assurance checks must be done in accordance with the Aircraft Flight Manual.

• The 2½ minute OEI power rating provides a short burst of high power to complete the takeoff, or effect a rejected takeoff, if an engine failure happens at a critical decision point, so that the rotorcraft can lift clear of any obstruction in the flightpath and climb out, or alternatively, to reject takeoff. Similarly, this rating also provides adequate power for the rotorcraft to make a safe landing or a balked landing if an engine fails at any point down to and including the landing decision point.

• The Continuous OEI power rating provides for increased continuous power on the remaining operative engine when one engine fails, and will permit the completion of the flight in accordance with the Aircraft Flight Manual.

TIME LIMITS/MAINTENANCE CHECKS

1. Maintenance Philosophy

The PT6C-67C engine is certified with a basic TBO (Time Between Overhaul) - refer to chapter 05-20-00. Forrecommendations on individual operator TBO extensions and engine accessory maintenance refer to Chapter 05-20-00, Time Between Overhaul Recommendation.

The Hot Section Inspection (HSI) is "on condition" based on the results of the Power Assurance check (Ref. 71-00-00 POWER PLANT - FAULT ISOLATION and Rotorcraft Flight Manual).

NOTE: Power Assurance (PA) checks form an integral part of the Aircraft Continued Airworthiness requirements and are covered in the Aircraft Flight Manual. However, P&WC recommends that a record be kept of successive PA checks, either electronically or on paper, to permit trending of the data for the purposes of meeting the HSI "on condition" maintenance requirements.

2. Chapter Breakdown

A. The Engine Operating Limits Section (Chapter 05-10-00) contains the Overtemperature, Overtorque and Overspeed limits. It also contains the engine data and leading particulars.

B. The Scheduled Maintenance Checks Section (Chapter 05-20-00) contains checks which are specified by Pratt & Whitney Canada. Compliance to these checks is necessary unless an alternative program was approved for the aircraft on which the engine is installed or if an alternative program was approved for the operator by their local regulatory authority.

C. The Unscheduled Maintenance Checks Section (Chapter 05-50-00) consists of inspection for engine problems that fall outside of normal Scheduled/Maintenance Checks. These checks are recommended by Pratt & Whitney Canada and must be followed in the event of any such occurrence during normal engine operation.

B. Overtemperature Limits

Overtemperature conditions are usually preceded by an excessively rapid rise in Ng and ITT. Several momentary high overtemperatures affect engine service life just as seriously as a single prolonged lower overtemperature condition. The higher the temperature, the sooner serious engine damage occurs. When an engine

The permissible cumulative time for engines that run at a 2½ minute OEI power only, as per Figure 3, 1 and 4, have a workscope given in applicable exceedance charts.

If the workscope requires a replacement of compressor and power turbine blades, reset the cumulative time to zero in the logbook and in the Data Collection Unit (DCU), for these components.

F. Recording of One Engine Inoperative (OEI) Information

Excursions into the OEI power ratings must be recorded in the engine logbook. The log entry should contain the following:

In the case of DCU failure, excursions into OEI power ratings must be recorded from the EEC before engine depower, or from the aircraft Central Maintenance Computer.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHECKS

1. General

This section contains scheduled maintenance requirements consisting of overhaul requirements, scheduled maintenance checks, turbine blade creep usage counting and compressor, turbine and external wash requirements.

Hours or Engine Hours means Engine Flight Hours. Engine flight hour is defined as the engine operating time between aircraft takeoff (weight-on-wheels/skid off) and landing (weight-on-wheels/skid on).

A. Tolerances

NOTE: The following tolerance is established for maintenance scheduling convenience only and must be approved by the governing civil aviation authority. Unless otherwise stated, the tolerance for periodic or scheduled inspections is (Ref. Table. 1 ):

Table 1 Tolerance - Periodic or Scheduled Inspections

Subsequent intervals will be adjusted to re-establish the original schedule. When an inspection is done more than 10% early, subsequent inspections will be advanced as required to not exceed the maximum tolerance.Concurrence and final approval of the inspection interval tolerance by the governing civil aviation authority is the responsibility of the owner/operator.

2. Time Between Overhaul Recommendation

A. General

The Time Between Overhaul (TBO) recommendations (based on flight hours or calendar times) take into consideration the average effect of the many variables which affect the overhaul life such as; average flightduration, percentage of time at any given power level, climatic conditions and environment, maintenance practices, utilization and engine modification standard.

B. Definitions

The basic industry TBO is the P&WC recommended TBO per this chapter of the Maintenance Manual which is applicable to all operators.

The fleet TBO is the TBO level which individual operators have attained for engines of the same model in their possession only.

The engine TBO is the TBO applicable to a specific engine per the industry TBO or fleet TBO or a recommended TBO by P&WC for a particular set of conditions.

C. Life Limitations

Rotor component life limitations outlined in the latest AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS section of this manual override the TBO considerations.

The engine DCU should always accompany the engine when it is returned for refurbishment or overhaul as it is required to assess engine usage and exceedance data.

D. Engine Time Between Overhaul

The engine is certified with a basic TBO of 5,000 hours.

E. Accessories Time Between Overhaul

All engine accessories with the exception of the ones specified below must be returned with engines returned for overhaul to undergo a functional inspection prior to return to service, per the requirements of the engine Overhaul Manual and Accessory Component Maintenance Manuals (Ref. INTRODUCTION, TABLE 1).

F. Technical Recommendations for fleet TBO extension

Intervals Tolerance

Hourly Ten percent (10%), or up to a maximum of 100 hoursoperating time, whichever is less.

Calendar Ten percent (10%), or up to a maximum of 30 days calendar time, whichever is less.

TBO recommendation for the Fuel Management Module (FMM) is engine TBO plus 500 hours.

TBO recommendation for the Fuel Cooled Oil Cooler (FCOC) is engine TBO plus 500 hours.

(1) General considerations:

(a) Extension to fleet TBO may only be granted with the approval of the applicable regulatory agency.

Page 22: PT6C-67C MM Chap 4-5

Before granting a fleet TBO extension, regulatory agencies normally requests a technical recommendation from the engine manufacturer based on the satisfactory results of a sampling program. The sampling program to obtain a technical recommendation from P&WC is described below. Regulatory agencies may require a stricter sampling program in accordance with their standards and/orrequirements. In such case, P&WC must be informed up front of this program.

(b) Recommendation for fleet TBO extension may be limited to the operating environment or geographiclocation of the sample engine(s).

Example:An operator with helicopters operating in separate desert and urban environments is required to submit the required amount of TBO escalation sample engines from both locations in order to obtain a recommendation for his complete fleet. If submitting sample engines from a single location only, therecommendation may be applicable to that location only. If necessary, consult P&WC for verification prior to proceeding with the escalation process.

NOTE: 1. The customer is responsible to submit the documents to local Airworthiness Authority for approval of the recommended TBO extension.

NOTE: 2. TBO Extensions, recommended by P&WC, do not affect the applicable Warranty and Service Policy originally supplied with the engine. P&WC will continue to use the basic industry TBO tocalculate the pro-rata credit and the benefits per the Primary Parts Service Policy and/or the Extended Engine Service Policy.

(c) TBO escalations are normally granted in maximum increments of 500 hours.

(d) An engine maintains its TBO extension recommendation as long as it is operated within the limitations of the relevant engine and aircraft operating manuals and is maintained in accordance with the appropriate P&WC maintenance manual.

NOTE: 1. A P&WC recommendation is null and void in instances where engine abuse or non-compliance with this recommendation are reported.

NOTE: 2. A P&WC recommendation is null and void on individual engines in instances where overhaul or repair by non P&WC recognized shops after receipt of the TBO escalation have occurred.

(e) If the engine was put in storage or was unused for an extended period in the time since its last overhaul (or since new if not previously overhauled), there must be documented evidence that the engine has been preserved per the engine maintenance manual.

(f) Recommendations are transferable between operators under circumstances described in Step (4) .

(g) For engines operated in aircraft engaged in crop dusting and other chemical applications, flyingconditions vary to such a degree that a sampling program for each particular application is desirable. Operators are requested to contact P&WC Customer Engineering Department for specificrecommendations.

(h) Service Bulletin Standard:

1 Applicable P&WC Service Bulletins (SB) with Category 1 to 6 must be accomplished in accordance with the compliance section of the SB in order for a TBO extension recommendation to become or remain valid for a specific engine. As part of a TBO extension recommendation, P&WC may specify that the extension is only applicable to engines meeting a minimum SB standard.

(i) Assembly and Components Records

1 TBO extensions incorporate limitations on the life of certain components. The operator or the maintenance organization (M.O.) selected by the operator must have a system to log the following:

• Engine time and cycles since new and since last overhaul

• Accessories time since new or since last overhaul

• Total cycles of life limited rotors (Ref. P&WC EMM Airworthiness section).

2 Configuration Records

a P&WC makes available product improvements through issuance of Service Bulletins. The operator orthe maintenance organization selected by the operator must have a system to log the SB that is incorporated into each engine. In particular, entries must be made into the engine log books.

(j) TBO extension recommendations from P&WC are subject to fees per S.I.L. No. PT6C-018.

(2) Steps and guidelines to obtain a recommendation for fleet TBO escalation:

(a) Near expiration of the applicable TBO on an engine considered as a suitable sample as per Step (3) , the operator completes a TBO Evaluation Information Form (Ref. Fig 1). The completed form is to be forwarded to:

Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp.

Page 23: PT6C-67C MM Chap 4-5

NOTE: 1. This form is only to obtain a confirmation from P&WC that the engine is suitable for sampling purpose before requesting a TBO evaluation. It is the operator’s responsibility to request a TBO evaluation through the overhaul facility that is accomplishing the engine overhaul.

NOTE: 2. P&WC will only accept fully completed form.

1000 Marie-Victorin Blvd.Longueuil, QuebecCanadaJ4G 1A1

Attention: Manager, Turboshaft EnginesCustomer Service Engineering

Email: [email protected]

(b) At expiration of the applicable TBO, the operator returns engine to a P&WC Overhaul Facility or P&WC Designated Overhaul Facility (DOF). On the purchase order, request that a TBO evaluation report is to be completed.

(c) The evaluation consists of two stages. Stage 1, consists of a complete review of the engine logbooks and maintenance or operational history over the current TBO period. Upon successful confirmation, the engine components are subjected to a thorough visual examination prior to cleaning in order to assess whether the hardware appears capable of 500 hours of further operation. The TBO sample can be rejected at this point if the engine components are deemed to be in an unsatisfactory condition.

(d) Stage two of the evaluation is commenced after satisfactory completion of stage one. A detailedexamination of components to the requirements of the P&WC Overhaul manual is performed. Upon completion, the P&WC Service Center or P&WC DOF will forward the completed TBO evaluation report to the Manager, Turboshaft Service Engineering for approval. Once approved, P&WC will issue a letter to the operator stating that a TBO extension is recommended to the next applicable level, subject to the approval of the operator’s Airworthiness Authority.

NOTE: Should a TBO sample be rejected, P&WC will not consider further TBO escalation samples unless the operator defines the actions taken to correct the observed conditions. On a case by case basis, this may result in a calendar period delay in order for complete validation of the revised actions.

(3) Exhibit engines for TBO Escalation (sample engines)

(a) Amount of exhibit engines required:

1 For recommendation up to 6500 hours fleet TBO (in 500 hours increment), P&WC recommends two satisfactory exhibit engines operated to the established TBO.

2 For recommendation above 6500 hours (in 500 hours increment), P&WC recommends three satisfactory exhibit engines operated to the established TBO.

NOTE: It may be required to submit two valid samples per operating regions as per the example provided in section F. (1) ((b)).

(b) Engines which have been subjected to refurbishment prior to TBO may not be accepted unless:

1 Repairs are due to a known condition that is addressed and corrected by a service bulletin or conditions that were as a result of overhaul shop workmanship.

2 Prime cause for refurbishment was not directly attributed to self- induced malfunction or of mechanical integrity.

3 Refurbishment components have a satisfactory prior history beyond the established TBO level.

4 Main line bearings must not have been replaced during this TBO period except for instances describedabove.

(c) Engines must incorporate only new or P&WC approved repair components provided by P&WC owned orP&WC recommended distributors or shops.

(d) Engines must be factory built, overhauled or repaired at a P&WC Service Center or a P&WC Designated Overhaul Facility (DOF).

(e) Engines must have been operated in the participating fleet for not less than 90% of the current TBOinterval.

(f) The exhibit engines must be within 150 hours of the current TBO interval.

(4) Transfer of TBO Extension Recommendations

(a) TBO escalation recommendations are valid only as long as the operator, the maintenance provider, and the typical mission remain unchanged.

Page 24: PT6C-67C MM Chap 4-5

1 For changes limited to the selection by the operator of a new maintenance provider, the change will have no effect if the maintenance plan remains unchanged.

2 For changes for an engine operating, or to be operated, under a fleet extended TBO, P&WC recommends to use a pro-rating formula. The time remaining to overhaul for an engine in these circumstances is the average of the fleet TBO formerly applicable and the fleet TBO separatelyestablished for the new combination of operator, M.O. and mission for the same engine models. It is then weighted on the basis of the time remaining to overhaul under the original operation. The formula for this purpose is:

X = Y ×

WhereX = Time remaining to overhaul on new program (buyer's TBO)Y = Time remaining to overhaul on previous program (seller's TBO)a = TBO interval on new program (buyer's TBO)b = TBO interval on previous program (seller's TBO)

a

b

Example 1:

An aircraft is transferred (by sale or lease) between two operators. The previous operators's engine TBO is 8000 hours and the new operators's engine TBO is 5000 hours and the engine has a time since overhaul (TSO) of 6000 hours

Time remaining to overhaul on the previous program:

Y = 8000 - 6000 = 2000 hours.

Time remaining to overhaul on the new program:

X = Y ×

a

b

X = 2000 × / = 1250 hours

Therefore this engine may be operated to a one time TBO interval of 7250 hours. After overhaul, the engine TBO will revert to the new owners TBO, which is 5000 hours in this example.

Example 2:

An operator obtains a recommendation from P&WC for a TBO extension from 5000 to 5500 hours, but one of the engines was purchased from an operator with a TBO of 8000 hours and the engine is currently running to a one time TBO of 7250 hours (Ref. Example 1). The new TBO interval will be calculated using the pro-rating formula and the TSO of the engine at entry to the new operator's fleet (6000 hours).

Time remaining to overhaul on the previous program:

Y = 8000 - 6000 = 2000 hours.

Time remaining to overhaul on the new program:

X = Y ×

a

b

X = 2000 × / = 1375 hours

Therefore this engine may be operated to a one time TBO interval of 7375 hours. After overhaul, the engine TBO will revert to the new owners TBO, which

60% creep or 10,000 hours, which ever comes first.

Power Turbine Blades Send first and second power turbine disk assembly to an approved overhaul facility for blade replacement (Ref. Creep UsageCounting, Paras. 4. and 5.).

50% creep or 15,000 hours, which ever comes first.

Page 28: PT6C-67C MM Chap 4-5

accumulated blade creep data is obtained from the DCU or the rotorcraft's Central Maintenance Computer (CMC). When the engine is returned to a repair facility, if the accumulated blade creep can not be established using either of the approved methods, the affected blades must be discarded.

To always permit reverting to the manual counting method, it is recommended the operator records the number of starts and flights at intervals not to exceed 300 operating hours.

NOTE: If automatic creep counting becomes inoperative, then the interval may have to be adjusted to ensure compliance with creep limits.

B. General

Automatic turbine blade creep usage counting is used on the engines to monitor the accumulated usage on the compressor and power turbine blades. The creep usage of both compressor and power turbine blades iscalculated in proportion to the actual severity of engine use.

The turbine blades listed in Table 3 are subject to creep damage due to the severity of engine use. The usage or blade creep life damage relate directly to a rotational speed and temperature measurement for each set of blades. The creep life limit may be expressed in hours or in percent:

Table 3 Part Numbers for Automatic Turbine Blade Creep Counting

When one of the turbine blade sets (Ref. Table 3 ) is replaced by another one, the engine log book and all related documents must be updated with the accumulated percentage of creep life consumed and the new engine component must be entered in the Data Collection Unit (DCU) (Ref. 77-40-01, MAINTENANCE PRACTICES). Replacement of individual blades must be tracked by blade P/N and S/N. If the life of individual blades can not be established, then the whole set must be replaced based on the life of the oldest blade.

The operator must record the accumulated percentage of creep life consumed for each blade. The data is obtained from the DCU or the aircraft Central Maintenance Computer (CMC).

The values that are necessary for the algorithm that the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) uses to calculate the accumulated blade creep lives on the components are "linked". Table 3 lists the component part numbers and the related DCU part number.

C. Unserviceability of the Automatic Turbine Blade Creep Counting

Operators must record the accumulated creep usage for each component. This data is obtained from the DCU or the aircraft Central Maintenance Computer (CMC). If a fault code on the cockpit display indicates that the automatic creep counting is not serviceable, the recording of the cycles must be done manually (Ref. Para. 5.). This is necessary until such time that a corrective action is taken to make the automatic creep countingserviceable again. The following lists the steps to do when a fault code is displayed:

If the fault code is displayed during a mission, the creep counting for the mission will be reset to zero. That means that the manual recording must start from this point on.

After the automatic creep counting is made serviceable again, the Data Collection Unit (DCU) must be programmed with the new accumulated cycle values for each critical component (Ref. 77-40-01, MAINTENANCE PRACTICES).

5. Manual Turbine Blade Creep Usage Counting

Creep life limits expressed in hours vary for different sets of blades.

Creep life limits expressed in percent are the same for all sets of blades.

A. General

The compressor and power turbine blades listed in Table 4 are subject to creep due to rotational speed and operating temperatures within the engine. The recommended blade service lives are listed in Table 4 and are derived using manual method creep life formula in Subpara. B.

Table 4 Turbine Blade Service Life

B. Components and Creep Life

When one of the listed engine components or a complete set (Ref. Table 4 ) is replaced by another one, the engine log book and all related documents must be updated with the appropriate information.

Operators must record the accumulated percentage of creep life consumed for each blade set (or highest XXX blade). In manual mode percentage of creep life is calculated as follows. Accumulated creep life is calculated by adding creep usage in both automatic and manual counting methods.

6. Recommended Maintenance Tasks Based on Operating Environment

B. External Wash and Corrosion Prevention

For operations in corrosive environments it may be necessary to perform more frequent periodic preventativemaintenance including application of corrosion inhibitors (Ref. 70-00-00, MAINTENANCE PRACTICES: Corrosion Inhibition). Where such preventative measures are necessary, it is also recommended to borescope the compressor turbine when performing Scheduled Maintenance Checks. Such intervals should be established and adjusted by the operator based upon the operator's experience.

Refer to 71-00-00, CLEANING.

C. Operations in Sandy Environments

For operations in sandy environments, it may be necessary to perform periodic inspections for compressor erosion (Ref. to 05-50-00). Such intervals should be established and adjusted by the operator based upon the his experience to ensure compliance within service limits.

D. Bleed Valve (BOV) Filter Cleaning

For operations in sandy or polluted environments or where frequent compressor washes are required, it may be necessary to perform periodic inspections and cleaning of the compressor BOV screen cartridge (Ref. to 75-30-00). Such intervals should be established and adjusted by the operator based upon his experience to ensurecompliance within service limits.

On Condition Performance recovery washes are required less frequently. Adjust the frequency to suitengine operating conditions as shown by WebECTM®. Motoring wash for light soiling and multiple motoring for heavy soiling is recommended.

NOTE: 1. Desalination washes done after last flight of the day provides maximum efficiency.

NOTE: 2. Multiple motoring washes should be performed to the extent permitted by starter operating limitations. Observe starter cooling period (Ref. Starter Manufacturer's Manual).

NOTE: 3. Operators can adjust frequency based on their experience and abilities to meet the interval on a regular basis. However, it must be noted that a lower frequency may result in a higher component replacement rate at HSI, repair or overhaul due to corrosion.

NOTE: 4. Turbine (desalination) wash is particularly important to prevent corrosion due to sulfidation of turbine components like blades and stator airfoils. Recommendations for frequency based on turbine componentcondition are found in Chapter 72-00-00, Engine - Inspection. Take note that frequency based on turbine component condition recommendations may allow for less frequent wash without compromising the integrity of the turbine components but may result in higher turbine components replacement rate at HSI, repair and overhaul.

UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHECKS

1. Engine Unscheduled Inspection

Unscheduled inspection is done when the engine is subjected to unusual stress or operating conditions, or exceeds operating limitations or gives unsatisfactory performance or handling.

If as a result of the inspection, engine removal is required, a written report stating cause of removal in detail (e.g., overspeed, overtemperature, etc.) must be sent with the engine to an approved overhaul facility.

If engine must be removed, a performance/ground power check is recommended before removal to determine the extent of damage, and therefore repairs required. A performance/ground power check must not be done on an engine if it has exceeded operating limits (e.g., overspeed in excess of transient, overtemperature, etc) or if it has defects that may increase with engine running (i.e., oil system contamination, etc.).

2. Foreign Object Damage (FOD)

A. Procedure

3. Erosion Damage

A. Procedure

4. Oil System

A. Loss of Oil

Determine the cause of the oil loss or of the high oil consumption and rectify it (Ref. 72-00- 00, ENGINE,GENERAL - FAULT ISOLATION). Refer to paragraph C. if the oil pressure went below the operating limits.

B. Chip Detector Light On

If chip detector light is “ON”, please refer to 72-00-00, ENGINE, GENERAL, FAULT ISOLATION.

C. Unusual Oil System Conditions

(1) Do a detailed visual inspection of the first stage blades and of the compressor inlet case for damage (Ref. 72-00-00, ENGINE-INSPECTION and 72-30-05, COMPRESSOR ROTOR- MAINTENANCE PRACTICES).

NOTE: You must do an investigation of each instance of FOD to determine the cause and the circumstance.

(2) If the damage exceeds the serviceable limits, send the engine to an approved overhaul facility for light overhaul in accordance with the Overhaul Manual (Ref. 72-00-00, Engine - Light Overhaul).

(1) Do a detailed visual inspection of the first stage blades and of the compressor inlet case for damage (Ref. to 72-00-00, ENGINE - INSPECTION and to 72-30-05, COMPRESSOR ROTOR - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES).

(2) If the damage exceeds the serviceable limits, send the engine to an approved overhaul facility for light overhaul in accordance with the Overhaul Manual (Ref. to 72-00-00, ENGINE GENERAL - LIGHT OVERHAUL).

(3) Where the rate of erosion is high, it is also recommended to borescope the compressor turbine vane and blades for signs of erosion or heat distress due to build up of fine dust on blades and vane cooling exit (trailing edge) passages (Ref. to 72-00-00, ENGINE - INSPECTION).

NOTE: Under certain circumstances, sand may mix with corrosive pollutants and cause premature deterioration of turbine blade and vane protective coatings.

(1) Do steps (a) to (e) for the following conditions:

• Oil temperature of the engine exceeds the limits specified in Tables 1 and 2 (Ref. 05- 10-00, ENGINE OPERATING LIMITS).

• Oil mixed with different oil types or with unapproved oil brands or with other chemical substances.

(a) Inspect the oil filter (Ref. 79-20-02, OIL FILTER AND IMPENDING BYPASS INDICATOR - MAINTENANCEPRACTICES) and the chip detector (Ref. 79-30-01, CHIP DETECTOR AND OIL STRAINER- MAINTENANCE PRACTICES) for evidence of debris. If debris is found, refer to the fault isolation chart for debris in oil (Ref. 72-00-00). If no debris is found proceed with the next step.

(b) Drain the oil, flush the oil system and fill the oil tank (Ref. 72-00-00, ENGINE, GENERAL - SERVICING).

(c) Do an engine ground run for 10 minutes at sufficient power to have the aircraft where applicable either light on skids or on front nose landing gear wheel (Ref. applicable Aircraft Manual).

(d) Inspect the oil filter and the chip detector again for evidence of debris. If debris is found, refer to the fault isolation chart for debris in oil (Ref. 72-00-00).

(e) If no debris is found and the oil pressure is within operating limits (Ref. 05-10-00, ENGINE - OPERATING LIMITS), the engine is serviceable.

(2) Do the following steps if the oil pressure is not within the recommended operating range (Ref. 05-10-00, ENGINE OPERATING LIMITS).

5. Fuel System

A. High Fuel Temperature Indication

B. Low Fuel Temperature Indication

(a) For a newly installed engine, adjust the oil pressure (Ref. 71-00-00, POWER PLANT -ADJUSTMENT/TEST).

(b) For an engine in service, do the fault isolation for the engine lubrication problems (Ref. 72- 00-00,ENGINE, GENERAL - FAULT ISOLATION). If the oil pressure is still not within limits, contact the P&WC service representative.

(3) Do the following steps if the engine has been subjected to low oil pressure or loss of oil pressure:

NOTE: 1. Low or loss of oil pressure is defined as running the engine below the minimum limits. See CAUTION below and Ref. 05-10-00, ENGINE OPERATING LIMITS.

NOTE: 2. During the start sequence, if the oil pressure does not increase to an acceptable value and the engine is shut down within time interval required to comply with aircraft flight/maintenance manuals, the engine is not considered to have been subjected to “low or loss of oil pressure”.

CAUTION: IF THE ENGINE WAS KEPT RUNNING AT HIGH POWER WITH LOW OR NO OIL PRESSURE LONGER THAN NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH THE FLIGHT MANUAL, IT MUST BE REMOVED AND RETURNED TO AN OVERHAUL FACILITY FOR AN INSPECTION TO BE CARRIED OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OVERHAUL MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS.

(a) Check engine/aircraft oil pressure indicating system. If satisfactory and the engine power was reduced and/or engine was shutdown as per flight manual, carry out the following:

1 Rotate the compressor from the starter gearshaft using wrench (PWC64054) or (PWC34941) and listen for unusual noises coming from the turbomachine.

2 Rotate the output shaft and listen for unusual noises from the power turbine area.

3 If unusual noises coming from the engine are heard, remove the engine.

4 Inspect the chip detector (Ref. 79-30-01, CHIP DETECTOR AND OIL STRAINER- MAINTENANCE PRACTICES) and the oil filter (Ref. 79-20-02, OIL FILTER AND IMPENDING BYPASS INDICATOR -MAINTENANCE PRACTICES). If debris is found, refer to the fault isolation chart for debris in oil (Ref.72-00-00). If no debris is found proceed with the next step.

NOTE: 1. Cause of low or loss of oil pressure must be determined and corrected before the engine is run (Ref. 72-00-00, ENGINE, GENERAL - FAULT ISOLATION).

NOTE: 2. Ensure that the oil level is above the minimum mark before the engine is run (Ref. 72-00-00, ENGINE, GENERAL - SERVICING).

5 If no debris is found, reinstall the chip detector and the oil filter and do an engine ground run for 10 minutes to have the aircraft light on skids or light on front nose wheel (Ref. applicable Aircraft Manual). Follow the normal shutdown procedure and make sure that the N1 and N2 run down times are normal.

6 Re-inspect the oil filter and the chip detector. If debris is found, refer to the fault isolation chart for debris in oil (Ref. 72-00-00). If no debris is found, proceed with next step.

7 Return the engine to service and proceed with the next step.

NOTE: If the low or loss of oil pressure was caused by a low oil level condition refer to the fault isolation chart for excessive oil consumption. If the cause of the high consumption could not be determined, monitor the oil consumption for the next 65 Flight Hours.

8 Re-inspect the oil filter and the chip detector after 10 flight hours and after 25 flight hours. If debris is found, carry out the procedure for debris in oil system (Ref.72-00-00, FAULT ISOLATION). If no debris is found, return to routine inspection intervals.

(4) Do the following steps if the oil is darker or evidence of carbon particles exist:

(a) Inspect the oil filter (Ref. 79-20-02, OIL FILTER AND IMPENDING BYPASS INDICATOR - MAINTENANCEPRACTICES).

(b) If significant amount of carbon particles are found, refer 79-20-02, OIL FILTER AND IMPENDING BYPASSINDICATOR - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES.

(c) If no carbon particles are found or if only small quantities of carbon particles are found (Ref. Fig. 1), no specific action is required.

(1) Refer to 72-00-00, FAULT ISOLATION: Fault Isolation Problems for Fuel Problems.
