Engine Ratings
The document provides detailed tables listing horsepower (H.P.), manifold pressure (M.P.), and RPM for various Lycoming engines. For the Cessna Turbo Skylane T182T, the engine model TIO540 AK1A is specified with a horsepower rating of 235, a manifold pressure of 32 in. Hg., and an RPM of 2400.
Takeoff Power Requirements
It is noted that turbocharged engines, including the TIO540 AK1A, may require different throttle settings to achieve takeoff power. The document emphasizes that normal takeoffs are not performed at full throttle and that operators must manage manifold pressure carefully to avoid exceeding red line limits.
Cautions and Compliance
The service instruction includes cautions regarding the use of supercharged and turbocharged engines, highlighting the importance of understanding the specific engine model and its operational characteristics. Compliance with the instructions is mandatory during engine maintenance.
Safety notes
- Operators must avoid exceeding red line manifold pressure during takeoff.
- High manifold pressure should not be controlled by part throttle; the cause must be corrected.

TIME OF COMPLIANCE: During engine maintenance. To assist maintenance personnel and pilots, the manifold pressure (M.P.) and RPM at which the supercharged and turbocharged Lycoming engines attain their rated horsepower (H.P.) are listed below. It is important to note that all Lycoming supercharged (GSO and IGSO) engines attain take off power at less than full throttle, while some turbocharged engines attain take off power only at full throttle and others at part throttle. It is the operator’s responsibility to know the type being operated.

NOTE 1 – These engines are equipped with an adjustable variablepr essure controller, which must be set in accordance with the latest revision of Service Instructions No. 1211 or No. 1431 and with the airframe manufacturer’s recommendations. NOTE 2 – These engines are equipped with an adjustable density controller, which must be set in accordance with the latest revision of Service Instruction No. 1187. NOTE 3 – These engines are equipped with a turbo waste gate control interconnected with the throttle. The interconnect linkage must be adjusted in accordance with the latest revision of Service Instruction No. 1431. Normal take offs are not at full throttle. The operator controls manifold pressure with the throttle and must avoid exceeding red line manifold pressure. NOTE 4 – Horsepower listed is delivered to propeller; 10 additional horsepower is available for accessories. NOTE 5 – These engines are equipped with a slope controller which must be set by measuring manifold pressure at rated power and engine speed. NOTE 6 – Replace absolute pressure relief valve assembly P/N LW 14445 12 with P/N LW 14445 2. In Notes 1 and 2, the pilot must not routinely control take off manifold pressure overboost by use of part throttle. Instead, the cause for high manifold pressure must be corrected.

For information on overboost and overspeed, see the latest revision of Lycoming Service Bulletin No. 369. The operator must become familiar with the manifold pressure versus altitude curves that appear in the engine and airframe manuals covering turbocharged engines. Failure to comply with restrictions shown could result in engine damage. NOTE: Revision “G” adds in. Hg. after M.P. in charts, adds Table 2, adds models to Table 3, and adds Note 6.
