impact and may lead to Ng idle decay due to changes in
atmospheric ambient conditions.

(b) For Woodward FCU:

1 Adjust idle until Ng is within limits.

E. Manual Override System Static Check (PT6A-42A Engines where fitted) (Ref. Fig. 507)
NOTE: Paras. 10.E. and F. apply only to engines incorporating the manual override system.
(1) As part of the periodic inspection (Ref. 72-00-00, INSPECTION), check the static
operation of the manual override system, with the engine shutdown:
(a) Set cockpit Manual Override Control lever - OFF.
(b) Set cockpit Manual Override Control lever to the maximum forward position.
Make sure the cockpit Manual Override Control lever does not bind and the
Manual Override Lever on the FCU contacts the stop at the maximum flow
position.
NOTE: Some resistance to movement of the cockpit Manual Override Control
lever is normal.
(c) If max flow stop is not reached (Ref. Fig. 507), check/adjust the airframe
rigging (Ref. Aircraft Maintenance Manual).

F. Manual Override System Operational Check (PT6A-42A Engines where fitted) (Ref. Fig. 507)

CAUTION: OTHER THAN THE FOLLOWING CHECK, USE OF THE MANUAL OVERRIDE
SYSTEM IS RESTRICTED FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY.

CAUTION: WHEN USING THE MANUAL OVERRIDE SYSTEM, THE ENGINE

RESPONSE MAY BE MORE RAPID THAN WHEN USING THE POWER
LEVER. A RAPID INCREASE IN MANUAL OVERRIDE LEVER POSITION
TOWARDS MAXIMUM IS TO BE AVOIDED, AS THIS CAN CAUSE ENGINE
SURGE, ENGINE OVER-TEMPERATURE, Ng OVER-SPEED OR OVER-
TORQUE.

(1) Following an FCU or engine change (Ref. 71-00-00, ADJUSTMENT/TEST, Table 501) or
as part of an annual airframe zone inspection (Ref. Aircraft Maintenance Manual), check
the serviceability of the manual override system as follows:
(a) Do the Manual Override System static check (Ref. Para. 10.E.).
(b) Set Manual Override Control lever - OFF.
(c) Start the engine (Ref. Paras. 3. and 6.).
(d) Slowly advance Manual Override Control lever observing ITT, torque and Ng at
all times. Keep Ng maximum rate of increase under 4% per second.
NOTE: Some movement of the Manual Override Control lever, resulting in no
increase in engine power, is normal.
(e) Slowly increase Ng until a 15% increase above ground-idle speed is obtained.
This indicates proper functioning of the Manual Override System.
(f) Slowly reduce the Manual Override Control lever to OFF, keeping Ng rate of
decrease less than 4% Ng per second.

SHIPPING REQUIREMENTS AND THE RESULTANT RIGGING MAY DIFFER
QUITE CONSIDERABLY FROM WHAT IT SHOULD BE WHEN THE ENGINE IS
INSTALLED IN THE AIRFRAME. THE FINAL RIGGING ARRANGEMENT IS PART
OF THE AIRCRAFT CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENT AND IS DETAILED IN THE
APPROPRIATE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL. THEREFORE, WHEN AN
ENGINE IS REINSTALLED IN AN AIRCRAFT AFTER OVERHAUL OR REPAIR,
THE ENGINE SHOULD BE RIGGED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RELEVANT
AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL AND NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
APPLICABLE P&WC MAINTENANCE OR OVERHAUL MANUAL.

CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED ENGINE OPERATING LIMITS OF SPEED AND TEMPERATURE.

CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED TORQUE SETTING OR MAINTAIN MAX TORQUE CONDITION

FOR MORE THAN FIVE SECONDS.

NOTE: Cockpit labels and names of controls may differ according to airframe manufacturer. The
terminology used in this and subsequent paragraphs is that of Pratt & Whitney Canada.
A. Procedure
(1) For PT6A-42A Engines (BS 1011, BS 1181 and BS 1192):
(a) Slowly advance the power control lever to its full max travel.
(b) Record torque pressure. Torque pressure should be between 1480 lb.ft. (48.43
psig) and 1500 lb.ft. (49.09 psig).

(2) For PT6A-42A Engines (BS 1322):

(a) Slowly advance the power control lever to its full max. travel.
(b) Record the torque pressure. Torque pressure must be between 1775 lbf.ft.
(58.08 psig) and 1800 lbf.ft. (58.90 psig).

(3) For PT6A-38/-41/-42 and PT6A-42A (BS 1067 and BS 1284) Engines:
(a) With propeller control lever set at max. rpm, slowly advance power control
lever to takeoff power.
(b) Slowly retard propeller control lever until torque pressure ceases to increase.
(c) Record torque pressure. Torque pressure should be between 2370 lb.ft. (77.60
psig) and 2440 lb.ft. (80.05 psig).

(4) If the torque pressure does not fall within the limits specified in step (1) or (3) , shut
down engine and adjust torque limiter (Ref. Fig. 509):
(a) Slacken locknut on torque limiter adjustment screw.
(b) Use an Allen key to turn adjusting screw clockwise to increase torque and
counterclockwise to decrease torque. One half turn of screw changes torque
pressure by 76 lb.ft. (2.5 psig).
(c) Torque locknut 55 to 60 lb.in. and make sure that adjusting screw position is
unchanged.
(d) Repeat torque limiter check as in steps (1) or (3) as applicable.

13. Torquemeter Function Test

for uncorrected pressure reading, or by setting the altimeter to 29.92 in.Hg.

The needle position indicates pressure altitude in feet. Do not use sea level
pressure.
(2) Determine and record indicated outside air temperature (Tam) in degrees Celsius.
NOTE: To make sure test is accurate, determine and record Tam immediately before
engine start.
(3) Use flight manual chart to determine target torque at which to set engine using PA and
Tam recorded at step (1) and (2) respectively. Record values.
(4) Start engine (Ref. Paras. 3. and 6.) and run for two
minutes.
(5) Place generator, bleed air and air conditioning
OFF.
(6) Check that propeller control lever (where fitted) is in high
rpm.
(7) Check that oil temperature is above
60°C.
(8) Set Ng 500 rpm above ground-idle (Ref. Engine Operating Limits). Record the Ng, Np,
and Tq readings.
(9) Accelerate engine slowly and uniformly at a rate of 2000 rpm per second until target
Tq recorded at step (3) is reached. Let engine stabilize for two minutes.
(10)Reduce Ng slowly and uniformly at a rate of 2000 rpm per second until Ng set at step
(8) is reached. Record the Ng, Np, and Tq readings.
(11)Repeat steps (8) to (10)
.
(12)Shut down engine (Ref. Para.
7.)
(13)The engine torque indication system functions correctly when the difference between
Tq recorded in steps (8) , (10) , and (11) is equal to or less than 150 lb.ft.
(14)If the difference between the torque settings is more than 150 lb.ft., check aircraft
indicating system. If the aircraft system is okay, the power section should be removed
and sent to an approved overhaul facility and the torquemeter piston, cylinder and
servo valve inspected for wear, scoring, fretting, etc.

A. General
Engine Performance Checking Chart allows engine performance to be checked on the ground
over a wide range of ambient temperatures without engine overtorque or overtemperature.
Engine performance checks should be done after aircraft delivery, installation of replacement
engine, before and after Hot Section Inspection, and at regular intervals thereafter.
Ground running, checking performance and adjusting procedures are described herein. Consult
the appropriate Aircraft Maintenance Manual for detailed procedures (Charts or Tables) to do the
checks.
(1) The ground performance check charts may vary between the Aircraft Maintenance Manual
(AMM) and the Engine Maintenance Manual (EMM). Where applicable, it is recommended to
refer to AMM performance check charts as they account for installation losses. EMM charts
are based on assumption for installation losses. For better consistency with results, always
refer to same chart.
In addition to any in-flight condition monitoring checks that may be done (Ref. Maintenance
Practices), periodic ground performance checks should be implemented, and changes in engine
performance noted.
All forms of engine deterioration are accompanied by an increase in T5 and Wf at a given power.
Compressor deterioration is, in most cases, due to dirt deposits and causes an increase in Ng at
a given power setting. This form of deterioration can be remedied by field cleaning (Ref.
CLEANING).
B. Procedure
(1) Determine engine performance parameters:
(a) Obtain ambient air temperature (Tam).
(b) Obtain field barometric pressure (not corrected to sea level).
(c) From relevant engine performance checking chart, obtain T5, Ng , Wf and
target torque for ambient conditions. Record values.

(2) Check engine performance:

(a) Do not use P3 air or power extraction for operation of aircraft ancillaries.
(b) Start engine (Ref. Paras. 3. and 6.). Run at ground-idle for five minutes to
stabilize operating temperatures.
(c) Set propeller control lever to 91% Np 2000 rpm and power control lever to
target torque setting previously determined from performance checking chart.
Allow engine instrumentation to stabilize.
(d) Record and compare observed T5, Ng and Wf with values previously recorded.
(e) Value of T5, Ng and Wf should not deviate from limits on chart.
NOTE: Limits on the chart cover normal engine deterioration, which should
not necessarily be cause for engine rejection, until all possible
troubleshooting has been completed (Ref. 72-00-00, FAULT
ISOLATION).
(f) Maintain record to monitor engine performance.
NOTE: The preceding check should not be confused with the principles and
purpose of Engine Condition Trend Monitoring (Ref. 72-00-00, FAULT
ISOLATION).

Manual Part No.3021442 Rev. 69.0 - 08/JAN/24

CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT ACCELERATION CHECKS WITH MANUAL OVERRIDE.

(1) If applicable, manual override control lever -
OFF.
(2) Start the engine (Ref. Paras. 3. and 6.). Operate at ground idle for five minutes to
allow stabilization of temperatures.
(3) Set Ng to FLIGHT-
IDLE.
(4) Advance the power control lever (in less than one second), to maximum
setting.
(5) Note and record time required to reach 93.5
Ng.
(6) Immediately retard the power control lever to idle
setting.

CAUTION: IF ACCELERATION CHECK IS DONE AFTER A COMPRESSOR RUNNING

WASH, CHECK THE Post-SB3012 P3 FILTER/FORWARD AIR TUBE FOR
CONTAMINATION/BLOCKAGE. DO NOT ADJUST THE FCU.
(7) Acceleration time should be 2.5 to 4.0 seconds. If not, rotate acceleation adjuster
dome (1, Fig. 506) one click at a time until requirement is met. Rotate dome clockwise
to reduce acceleration time (faster acceleration) or counterclockwise to increase
acceleration time (slower acceleration). If requirement cannot be met within a
maximum of three clicks in either direction, replace fuel control unit (Ref. 73-20-00,
Removal/Installation).
