Propeller Installation Instructions
The document details the steps for removing the existing propeller and installing the Sensenich S72CKS6 propeller. It specifies the use of original attaching bolts and spinner, provided the original propeller was a Sensenich 72CKS6. The installation process includes tightening the propeller attaching bolts to a torque of 280 to 300 in-lb and securing the spinner dome.
Weight and Balance Considerations
It states that a revision of the aircraft's weight and balance is not necessary when replacing a Sensenich propeller. However, if a McCauley fixed pitch propeller is being replaced, the weight and balance must be recalculated. The Sensenich 72CK propeller weighs 28.4 lbs with an arm of -36.5 inches.
Flight Manual Supplement Requirements
The document emphasizes that for all aircraft models, specific propeller limits must be displayed in the cockpit. These include a propeller diameter between 70 and 72 inches, static RPM limits between 2100 and 2275, and a maximum RPM of 2440 except during takeoff and climb.
Safety notes
- Ensure compliance with FAA regulations when altering propeller specifications.
- Failure to update weight and balance after changing to a McCauley propeller may lead to safety issues.
