TECHNICAL ASPECTS ARE FAA APPROVED TEMPORARY REVISION E1R9721
WARNING: THE MAXIMUM OIL CONSUMPTION IS 1 QUART IN FIVE HOURS. OPERATION IN
EXCESS OF THIS LIMITS IS NOT PERMITTED. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION
CAN BE INDICATIVE OF A SERIOUS INTERNAL OIL LEAK. AN INTERNAL OIL LEAK
CAN RESULT IN AN UNDETECTED INTERNAL OIL FIRE, WHICH WILL RESULT IN A
DISASTROUS TURBINE FAILURE.
CAUTION: NORMAL ENGINES USE A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF OIL. HOWEVER, ANY SUDDEN
INCREASE IN OIL CONSUMPTION IS INDICATIVE OF OIL SYSTEM PROBLEMS AND
MUST BE CORRECTED. REFER TO ITEMS 20 AND 21 IN TABLE 101, 720000
TROUBLESHOOTING.

Maximum oil consumption . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 qt in 5 hr (0.9 liter in 5 hr)

WARNING: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE ENTIRE AIRCRAFT AND ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM
BE MAINTAINED TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF CLEANLINESS.
ROLLSROYCE HAS CONDUCTED TESTING OF APPLE JELLY TYPE CONTAMINA-
TION WHICH SHOWS IT BEHAVES DIFFERENTLY THAN A SOLID CONTAMINANT.
IT CAN PASS THROUGH VARIOUS AIRFRAME AND ENGINE FUEL FILTERS UNDE-
TECTED WITHOUT ACTUATING THE IMPENDING BYPASS INDICATOR, AND IT
CAN CAUSE PARTIAL OR COMPLETE BLOCKAGE OF THE FUEL NOZZLE SCREEN
RESULTING IN REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE OR FLAMEOUT.

SHOULD THIS GELLIKE MATERIAL BE DETECTED AT ANY POINT IN THE AIR-


CRAFT OR ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM, THE ENTIRE AIRFRAME AND ENGINE FUEL
SYSTEM SHOULD BE INSPECTED.
WARNING: TO PREVENT ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM CONTAMINATION, WHICH COULD CAUSE
ENGINE FLAMEOUT, AN EXTERNAL LOW PRESSURE FUEL FILTER SHOULD BE
USED ON ANY AIRCRAFT REFUELING FROM REMOTE FUELING SITES (DRUMS
ETC).
CAUTION: NOT ALL NO. 1 DIESEL FUELS, JP1, OR ARCTIC DIESEL FUELS WILL MEET THE
PRIMARY FUEL SPECIFICATIONS. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OPERATOR
AND HIS SUPPLIER TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT A GIVEN FUEL MEETS
THESE SPECIFICATIONS.
CAUTION: THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT FOR ENGINE OPERATION USING THE AVGASJET FUEL
MIXTURE AS LONG AS GRADE 80/87 AVGAS IS USED AND THE 1:2 VOLUME RATIO
IS OBSERVED. USE OF GRADE 100/130 (100L) AVGASJET FUEL MIXTURE SHALL
BE RESTRICTED TO 300 HOURS IN ONE OVERHAUL PERIOD DUE TO THE HIGH
LEAD CONTENT OF THE FUEL.
B. Fuel Specification

WARNING: TO PREVENT ENGINE FUEL STARVATION AND SUBSEQUENT FLAMEOUT, ANY


AIRCRAFT REQUIRING FUEL BOOST PUMP(S) SHOULD USE THESE PUMPS AT ALL
TIMES DURING FLIGHT OR AS DIRECTED IN THE AIRCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL.
WARNING: TO PREVENT CRUCIAL DELAY IN REGAINING POWER IF AN ENGINE FLAMEOUT IS
ENCOUNTERED, AIRCRAFT EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTORELIGHT SYSTEM SHOULD
KEEP THAT SYSTEM ACTIVATED AT ALL TIMES WHILE THE AIRCRAFT IS IN FLIGHT.
7. Operating Procedures
CAUTION: BEFORE THE ENGINE IS OPERATED, MAKE SURE THE COMPRESSOR INLET IS
FREE OF DEBRIS. ALSO, MAKE SURE THE COMPRESSOR ROTOR IS NOT
FROZEN IF THE AIRCRAFT IS IN A FREEZING ATMOSPHERE.
CAUTION: EACH TIME THE PROPELLER IS SERVICED WITH GREASE, MAKE A BRIEF CHECK
RUN (APPROX. 5 MIN.) TO BE SURE GREASE IS NOT PASSING THROUGH THE
SEAL AND BEING INGESTED INTO THE ENGINE. WIPE ALL GREASE FROM THE
HUB AND INLET AREAS BEFORE RESUMING OPERATION.
A. Preflight Inspections
Before starting the engine, make a preflight inspection. Refer to Preflight and Postflight
Inspections, Tables 601, 720000, EngineInspection/Check.
The procedures which follow pertain to operation of the engine during: Starting, Taxi, Takeoff,
Flight, Landing, Shutdown, and Feathering. Before the first flight in any 24 hour period, and when
maintenance has been performed on the related parts, check the overspeed function of the
overspeed governor. Refer to Propeller Overspeed Governor Functional Check, PARA 7.P., this
section.
NOTE: In the operating procedures, Power Lever and Condition Lever are used to identify the
aircraft levers used to operate the coordinator Input Power Lever and the coordinator
Condition Lever respectively.
WARNING: TO ENSURE ADEQUATE WARNING OF POSSIBLE EMERGENCY ENGINE
OPERATING CONDITIONS, VERIFY THAT THE ENGINE WARNING SYSTEMS,
ENGINEOUT HORN, FILTER BYPASS LIGHT AND CHIP DETECTOR LIGHT, ARE
OPERABLE BEFORE EACH FLIGHT.
WARNING: OVERTEMPERATURE STARTS OR AFTERFIRES FOLLOWING SHUTDOWN WILL
CAUSE CRACKS IN THE FIRSTSTAGE WHEEL RIM. THESE CRACKS CAN
EVENTUALLY CAUSE A SECTION OF THE WHEEL TO BREAK OUT AND EXIT THE
ENGINE WITH POTENTIALLY DISASTROUS RESULTS.
CAUTION: FOR THE ULTIMATE SAFETY OF ALL PERSONNEL WHO COME IN CLOSE
PROXIMITY WITH THE ENGINE IN THE FUTURE, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
THE PILOT AND MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL TO RECORD AND TAKE
RECOMMENDED CORRECTIVE ACTION WHEN OVERTEMPERATURE OCCURS.
B. Ground Starting
Two starting procedures are provided for the engine. The normal starting procedure is for starts in
ambient temperatures of 40F (4C) and above. Refer to Normal Starting, PARA 7.B.(1), this
section. The cold weather starting procedure is for starts in ambient temperatures between plus
39F (4C) and minus 65F (minus 54C). Refer to Cold Weather Starting, PARA 7.B.(2), this
section.

(1) Normal Starting


Start the engine as follows:
(a) Position the condition lever at FUEL OFFFEATHER and turn all switches off.
(b) Turn on the aircraft switches required to provide fuel to the engine.
NOTE: It is recommended that residual TOT be no more than 302F (150C) when the
throttle is opened and light off is attempted. Residual TOT can be reduced by
motoring the engine with the starter. If high ambient conditions are encountered
and the TOT cannot be reduced to 302F (150C), motor the engine until TOT is
stabilized before opening the throttle. Closely monitor TOT during the start.
(c) Place the power lever at the GROUND IDLE position.
CAUTION: DURING A START THE CONDITION LEVER MUST NEVER BE ADVANCED
OUT OF THE FUEL OFFFEATHER POSITION UNTIL AFTER THE
STARTER AND IGNITION EXCITER HAVE BEEN ENERGIZED AND THE
DESIRED CRANKING SPEED HAS BEEN ATTAINED. TO DO SO MIGHT
RESULT IN AN EXPLOSIVE LIGHTOFF OR AN OVERTEMPERATURE
START.
CAUTION: AN ENGINE FIRE, WITH THE RESULTANT FLAME EMANATING FROM THE
TAILPIPE, CAN OCCUR DURING START IF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER
BECOMES OVERLOADED WITH FUEL BEFORE IGNITION TAKES PLACE.
TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE, CONTINUE TO MOTOR THE ENGINE USING
THE STARTER, WITH THE CONDITION LEVER FULLY CLOSED AND THE
MAIN FUEL SWITCH OFF. REFER TO GROUND SHUTDOWN, PARA 7.J.,
THIS SECTION, FOR THE RECOMMENDED ACTION IF AN ENGINE FIRE IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING SHUTDOWN.
CAUTION: MONITOR OIL PRESSURE DURING START. DAMAGE TO ENGINE ROTOR
BEARINGS CAN RESULT IF A POSITIVE INDICATION OF OIL PRESSURE
IS NOT OBTAINED BY THE TIME IDLE SPEED IS REACHED.
(d) Energize the starter motor and ignition exciter.
(e) As N1 rpm accelerates through 1215% N1, move the condition lever to the maximum
(100% propeller speed) position to begin fuel flow.
NOTE: Do not wait for N1 peak out. Introduce fuel immediately upon reaching desired
N1 speed. Delay in moving the condition lever to the maximum position may
diminish battery capacity early in the start cycle.
CAUTION: THE IGNITION EXCITER IS QUALIFIED FOR CONTINUOUS DUTY
OPERATION. HOWEVER, USE OF THE IGNITION SYSTEM ON A
CONTINUOUS BASIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED BECAUSE OF
DEGRADATION OF THE SPARK IGNITER.
CAUTION: IF THE PROPELLER IS NOT ROTATING BY 25% N1, SPEED, ABORT THE
START. A SECOND OR THIRD START ATTEMPT MAY BE MADE. IF THE
CONDITION STILL EXISTS, REFER TO TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE 101.
CAUTION: IF PROPELLER UNFEATHERING DOES NOT BEGIN BY THE TIME N1
REACHES THE STABILIZED SPEED, SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE.
(f) Deenergize the starter and ignition exciter when 58% N1 speed is reached. The start is
completed when a stabilized N1 speed of 5965% is reached. Completion of the start
normally occurs 1545 seconds after moving the condition lever to the maximum position.
A positive indication of oil pressure must be obtained by this point in the start. If it is not,
shut down the engine and check to be sure that oil is available at the power and
accessories gearbox inlet. Monitor the measured gas temperature; do not exceed the
limits of Table 6. Propeller unfeathering will automatically occur during the engine start
transient.

Example Data Filled in by Maintenance/Operations


Figure 24

(f) Using Figure 27, determine the corrected TOT. Find the indicated OAT on the left vertical
scale and indicated TOT on the top horizontal scale. Moving right and down, you will
intersect at the corrected TOT value of 703C. For indicated TOT values under 650C,
consult the first page of Table 28. Graph this data as indicated in Figure 28.
(g) It should be noted that the data graphed in Figure 28 cannot always be directly compared
to the background data depicted in Figures 19 through 23. The background data is for
illustration purpose only to show long term degradation of a typical engine. Actual
graphed N1 and TOT data can vary from the example. The important thing to remember
is that the overall trend should be gradual. Step changes in the trend are significant and
their causes should be determined.
(h) If a baseline pressure altitude for performing the daily trend check procedure cannot be
established, the check can still be completed by correcting the torque input value to sea
level conditions prior to performing the check. (See Figure 29) For example, if flight
clearance is to climb and maintain 3000 feet, enter the chart at the baseline torque value
of 80% torque, move right to intersect the 3000 foot pressure altitude value and read 72%
torque as depicted. Accordingly, for this flight set the 72% on the aircraft torque gage,
record the readings, correct the data and plot the values as described earlier. The use of
a different baseline altitude for each check will require the torque correction chart depicted
in Figure 29 to be carried in the aircraft for reference.
(i) Reduced torque values may be required at high altitudes to remain within engine or
aircraft limitations. This can result in N1 readings below 95% speed that will allow the
engine bleed valve to open. If this data is plotted, it will erroneously appear as a step
change increase in the TOT trend. Step change increases in the TOT trend must be
compared to the trended N1 to assure the bleed valve is closed. Data taken while the
bleed valve is fully open or modulating will not be accurate.

B. Fittings Without Backup Rings


Use this procedure to install universal fittings without backup rings.
(1) Run the nut on the fitting end back until the washer face is aligned with the upper inner corner
of the gasket groove.
(2) Lubricate the seal and place it in the groove. Use care not to damage seal.
(3) Screw the fitting into the boss until the seal barely touches the boss.
(4) Turn the fitting and nut together until the nut touches the boss.
(5) Put a wrench on the nut to prevent its turning, and position the fitting by turning it in up to 270
or unscrewing it up to 90.
(6) Hold the fitting in its proper position and tighten the nut against the boss.
7. Locknut Installation (See Figure 302)
Install locknuts (klincher or equivalent) with the locking shoulder on the lead side. Tightening presses
the nut against the bolted surface to create the stress required for locking. Nuts installed upside down
will not achieve this desired locking feature.
8. Airframe/Engine Interface Connections
When airframe provided fittings are installed into the engine, refer to Table 307 for the recommended
torque values.
9. Rigid Tube Inspection and Installation
When a component to which rigid tube assemblies are attached is replaced, remove all interfering tube
assemblies to permit easy removal and reinstallation of the component. This precaution will prevent
subsequent damage to the tube assemblies. Tubetofitting alignment should be checked for proper fit,
as described in Flared Tubes and Flanged Tubes, para 8.B. and 8.C. any time such a component is
installed.

B. Oil Temperature Limit Exceeded


The maintenance actions required when oil temperature limits have been exceeded are governed
by the overtemperature conditions encountered. Specific conditions and their respective
maintenance action requirements are as follows:
(1) Engine oil temperature limit is exceeded during operation above 40 psi (276 kPa) TM pressure
or 165 hp (123 kW). Engine oil temperature exceeds 107C (225F) for a period not
exceeding ten minutes but remains less than 120C (248F). Oil pressure remains normal.
(a) Check for carbon deposits (coking).
(b) Inspect and clean or replace the oil filter.
NOTE: If an external scavenge oil filter is installed, refer to the applicable airframe
manual for service instructions.
(c) Inspect and clean the magnetic drain plugs.
(d) Reservice the oil system with new oil.
(e) Ground run the engine for 10 minutes.
(f) Reinspect the engine/scavenge oil filter(s) and the magnetic drain plugs. If no carbon
particles can be found, return the engine to service. If carbon particles are found, perform
oil system maintenance. (Refer to Oil System Maintenance, para 6.F., 725000.)
(g) Reinspect the oil filter and the magnetic drain plugs after five hours of engine operation.
If carbon particles are found, repeat the maintenance procedure.
(2) Engine oil temperature limit is exceeded during operation above 40 psi (276 kPa) TM pressure
or 165 hp (123 kW). Engine oil temperature exceeds 107C (225F) for a period not
exceeding 10 minutes but remains less than 120C (248F). Oil pressure abnormal.
(a) Overtemperature may adversely affect oil pressure regulation. Replace the oil filter
housing assembly. (Refer to Lube Oil Filter Housing Replacement, para 1.D., 726000.)
If normal oil pressure and oil pressure regulation is restored by replacement of the
housing assembly, send the removed housing assembly to an authorized facility for repair,
noting the reason for removal.
(b) Check for carbon deposits (coking). (Refer to para 10.E., this section.)
(c) Inspect and clean or replace the oil filter. (Refer to para 1.C., 726000.)
NOTE: If an external scavenge oil filter is installed, refer to the applicable airframe
manual for service instructions.
(d) Inspect and clean the magnetic drain plugs. (Refer to para 10.H., this section.)
(e) Reservice the oil system with new oil.
(f) Ground run the engine for 10 minutes.
(g) Adjust engine oil pressure as required.

I. Magnetic Plug Inspection
WARNING: IF A MAGNETIC PLUG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON DURING FLIGHT, LAND
AND INSPECT THE MAGNETIC PLUGS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS LIGHT
IS AN INDICATION OF CONDITIONS WHICH COULD CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE.
WHEN FLYING A MULTIENGINE AIRCRAFT, REDUCE THE AFFECTED ENGINE
OUTPUT POWER TO THE MINIMUM REQUIRED FOR FLIGHT AND LAND AS
SOON AS PRACTICABLE. IF THE LIGHT IS ACCOMPANIED BY ABNORMAL
NOISES, OIL PRESSURE OR TEMPERATURE, AND SINGLEENGINE FLIGHT
CAN BE MAINTAINED, SHUT DOWN AFFECTED ENGINE AND LAND AS SOON
AS PRACTICABLE. IF SINGLEENGINE FLIGHT IS NOT POSSIBLE, REDUCE
POWER OF AFFECTED ENGINE TO THE MINIMUM AND LAND AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE. AFTER LANDING, INSPECT THE MAGNETIC PLUGS ON THE
AFFECTED ENGINE FOR METAL CONTAMINATION PRIOR TO FURTHER
ENGINE OPERATION.
Two indicating type magnetic drain plugs are installed in the power and accessory gearbox and one
is installed in the propeller reduction gearbox. If a warning light is received in the cockpit, remove
and visually inspect the magnetic drain plugs. The contamination conditions which may be
encountered on the magnetic plugs are defined as follows:
(1) Paste
(a) Paste is the result of fine soft particles which come from normal wear due to gear mesh,
bearing rotation and/or spline engagement. These particles mix with oil or soft carbon to
form paste.
(b) This condition is normal and is the reason for the 100 hour cleaning interval. Paste
generally does not cause a warning light. If a light is encountered, make the magnetic
plug check in para 10.H. (3), this section.
(c) Clean magnetic plugs with solvent and brush. Wipe dry with clean cloth or blow dry with
filtered shop air. Reinstall, tighten to 6080 lb in. (6.89.0 N.m).
NOTE: Heavy accumulations of paste require inspection and cleaning of the magnetic
plugs at intervals of 25 to 100 hours. Cleaning paste from the plugs is
necessary to ensure that small chips, flakes, and slivers can be detected.
(2) Magnetic Particles
(a) Magnetic particles and debris, chips, flakes, and slivers are possible indications of bearing
or gear failure and/or abnormal wear within the engine.
(b) Chips or flakes exceeding 1/32 in. (0.79 mm) diameter or more than 4 slivers per event
are not acceptable.
1 Remove engine and send to an RollsRoyce Authorized Maintenance Center (AMC).
2 Prior to operation of the replacement engine, do the following:
a If a scavenge oil filter is installed and the filter bypass button has not extended,
clean the airframe provided engine oil lines and replace the scavenge oil filter.

by performing the functional check per Facet Service Bulletin No. 090589 (ref.
RollsRoyce TP CSL 2017) for aircraft equipped with this type of external
scavenge filter system.
c If the scavenge oil filter has bypassed, if the impending bypass fails the
functional test, or if no scavenge filter is installed, clean or replace the scavenge
oil filter, oil cooler, oil tank, and lubrication system oil lines per the airframe
manufacturers instructions. Drain and replace the engine oil. (Refer to
EngineServicing, Oil Change, para 10.E., 720000.)
(c) Chips or flakes less than 1/32 in. (0.79 mm) diameter or fewer than 4 slivers per event are
acceptable.
1 If a warning light is encountered, refer to para 10.H.(3), this section.
2 Reinstall the magnetic plug and tighten to 6080 lb in. (6.89.0 N.m).
(3) Magnetic Light Indication
Perform the following maintenance actions following each encounter of magnetic light
indications:
(a) Clean the magnetic drain plugs. Perform a 30minute ground run at power. Observe
engine operation limits and chip warning lights.
1 If operation is normal, remove, inspect, clean, and reinstall the three chip detectors.
Return engine to service.
2 If chips or flakes less than 1/32 in. (0.79 mm) diameter or fewer than four slivers are
encountered during the 30minute run, proceed to the next step.
(b) If a chip light is encountered during the first 30 minute ground run, the following steps
must be taken before the second 30minute ground run.
1 Drain oil.
2 Clean engine oil filter.
3 Flush the aircraft oil system to remove any circulating debris.
4 Clean engine chip detectors.
5 Service engine oil system with fresh, clean oil.
6 Perform a 30minute ground run at power. Observe engine operating limits and chip
warning lights. If operation is normal then remove, inspect, clean, and reinstall both
chip detectors. Return engine to service.
7 If a chip light is encountered during the second 30minute ground run, remove the
engine from service and send to an RollsRoyce Authorized Maintenance Center
(AMC). Clean the aircraft engine oil system per para 10.H.(2), this section.
NOTE: If a warning light illuminates within the next eight operating hours following
a 30 minute ground run, and the cause is determined to be an
accumulation of magnetic particles and debris (chips, flakes or slivers),
remove the engine and send to an RollsRoyce Authorized Maintenance
Center (AMC). Tag engine noting cause for rejection. This note is
applicable only after para 10.H. (3) (b), this section has been completed
(reference Oil Drain and Flush); otherwise, this is another event.

FUEL AND CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE PRACTICES


1. General

WARNING: WATER OR CONTAMINATION IN THE FUEL CAN CAUSE FLAMEOUT OR POWER


LOSS.

WARNING: AIR LEAKS IN THE FUEL SYSTEM OR THE PNEUMATIC SENSING SYSTEM CAN
CAUSE FLAMEOUTS, POWER LOSS OR OVERSPEED.

WARNING: PERFORM A VACUUM CHECK OF FUEL SYSTEM LINES AND COMPONENTS


ANYTIME A FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENT IS REMOVED OR REPLACED TO ENSURE
NO ENGINE OR AIRFRAME FUEL SYSTEM LEAKS ARE PRESENT.

WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY ASSEMBLE COMPONENTS/PARTS OF THE ENGINE


COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FAILURE.

WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL, ALIGN AND TIGHTEN FUEL, OIL, AND AIR
FITTINGS AND TUBES COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FAILURE.

WARNING: PROPER TIGHTENING OF ENGINE TUBING CONNECTIONS IS CRITICAL TO


FLIGHT SAFETY. CORRECT TORQUE VALUES MUST BE USED AT ALL TIMES.
EXCESSIVE TORQUE ON PNEUMATIC SENSING SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
RESULTS IN CRACKING OF THE FLARE CAUSING AN AIR LEAK WHICH CAN
CAUSE FLAMEOUT, POWER LOSS, OR OVERSPEED.

A. Fuel System Maintenance

Fuel system maintenance consists of checks, adjustment, cleaning, servicing, and replacement of
the various system components. These functions can be performed with common hand tools and
the recommended special service tools. Figure 201 illustrates the components which make up the
fuel system.

B. Fuel System Air Leaks

The two principal reasons for fuel system air leaks are loose lines and damaged or impaired fittings.

NOTE: Loose lines can develop from improperly tightened Bnuts. Damaged fittings are the
result of incorrect handling or improper installation procedures. Insufficient tightening of
the Bnut allows wear of the fitting through normal operating vibrations applied to a loose
flare.

(1) When a loose line is detected, proceed as follows:

(a) Remove the line and check the flares for wear, bends, dents, feathered edges or other
deformities.

(b) Inspect nipple portion of fitting for damage, grooves or wear. Detect grooves in the
mating surface by placing a small metal straight edge on the beveled surface and viewing
for gaps.

(c) Determine the cause of irregularities and take steps to correct the situation.

1 Tube clamping should be in accordance with the 250B17F Series Parts Catalog
(Publ. No. GTP 52434).

2 If a tube requires replacement, the fitting to which it mates should also be replaced.

(d) For detailed installation instructions, refer to Rigid Tube Inspection and Installation,
PARA 8., 720000, EngineServicing.
