OVERTEMPERATURE
AND
OVERSPEED
LIMITATIONS.
a.
Whenever limiting temperatures, listed in the
Engine Operating Limitations chart (Table 5-1), are
exceeded and cannot be controlled by retarding the
power levers, the engine will be shut down and a landing
made as soon as possible.
b.
During engine starting the temperatures and
time limits listed in the Engine Operating Limitations
chart (Table 5-1) must be observed. When these limits
are exceeded, the incident will be entered as an engine
discrepancy in the appropriate maintenance forms. It is
particularly important to record the amount and duration
of over temperature.
c.
Whenever the prescribed engine overspeed
limit or engine RPM operating limit is exceeded, the
incident must be reported as an engine discrepancy in
the appropriate maintenance forms. It is particularly
important to record the maximum percent of RPM
registered by the tachometer, and the duration of
overspeed.
d.
Continued engine operation above 810°C will
reduce engine life.
