N1, prop rpm is not less than 1100 rpm.
NOTE 28 Model C90A Airplanes which incorporate MOD Drawing MOD005147-1 are limited to a maximum ramp
weight of 10,059 lbs., a maximum takeoff weight of 9,999 lbs., and a maximum landing weight of 9,600 lbs.
MOD Drawing MOD005147-1 requires an AFM and POH supplement PN 90-590024-81 and an operating
weight limitation placard, MOD005147-3. Eligible Serial Numbers are LJ-1469 thru LJ-1726, LJ-1728 thru
LJ-1753, and LJ-1755.
NOTE 29 Company name change effective April 15, 1996. The following serial numbers are manufactured under the
name of Raytheon Aircraft Company: C90A and C90GT: LJ-1437 through LJ-1826.
NOTE 30 By model, any combination of reversing hub and blade part numbers listed is acceptable. It is permissible to
mix blade part numbers on the same hub.
NOTE 31 The maximum propeller shaft overspeed limit for the Model C90GT and C90GTi is 110 percent (2090 rpm).
100 percent propeller shaft speed is defined as 1900 rpm and is the normal steady state operating limit. Gas
generator speeds up to 102.6 percent are permissible for 2 seconds and to 101.5 percent for unlimited periods
subject to applicable temperature and other limits. 100 percent gas generator speed is defined as 37,500 rpm.
NOTE 32 Flight idle propeller low pitch stop is set so that at 1800 rpm the engine torque is 545 -0/+40 ft. lb. torque
corrected to sea level standard day conditions.
NOTE 33 The following warning concerning propeller operation is in both the AFM and Maintenance Manual:
“Stabilized ground operation within the propeller restricted RPM range can generate high propeller stresses
and result in fatigue damage to the propeller. This damage can lead to a reduced propeller fatigue life,
propeller, propeller failure and loss of control of the aircraft”.
NOTE 34 Company name change effective 3-26-07. The following serial numbers are manufactured under the name of
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation: LJ-1827 through LJ-2069.
3A20 39 Rev. 82
NOTE 35 Company name change effective 4-12-13. The following serial numbers are manufactured under the name of
Beechcraft Corporation: C90GTi: LJ-2070 through LJ-2124.
NOTE 36. Company name change effective 10/12/16. The following serials are manufactured under the name Textron
Aviation Inc.: C90GTi: LJ-2134 and after.
NOTE 37. STC SA10747SC must be installed with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion® installation.
NOTE 38. Installation of GPS-4000S due to in-draw of Rockwell Collins STC SA01848WI, which addressed the use of
a multi-core processor and upgrading of the GPS-4000S receiver.
