The instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) in this publication uses the data available at the time of publication. This publication is updated, supplemented, and changed by service letters, service bulletins, publication revisions, reissues, ICA supplements, and temporary revisions, which are supplied by subscription services available from McCauley Product Support. All of these changes become part of and are specifically included in this publication which is the principal manual for ICA. The latest changes to this publication are given through the McCauley Product Support subscription services and/or McCauley authorized service facilities. The purchaser is warned not to use the data in McCauley's overhaul/maintenance/ service/information manuals when parts are designed, manufactured, remanufactured, overhauled, and/or approved by entities, other than McCauley or McCauley authorized entities, are installed. When non-McCauley parts are used, the data in McCauley's overhaul/maintenance/service/information manuals is no longer applicable. All of the inspection intervals, replacement time limits, overhaul time limits, inspection methods, life limits, cycle limits, etc., McCauley recommends are given when new, remanufactured, or overhauled McCauley approved parts are installed. All inspection intervals, replacement time limits, overhaul time limits, the methods of inspection, life limits, cycle limits, etc., for non-McCauley parts must come from the manufacturer and/or seller of the non-McCauley parts. B. Inspection, maintenance and parts requirements for Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) installations are not given in this manual. When the propeller has an STC installation, those parts of the propeller that the installation has an effect on, must be examined in accordance with the inspection program published by the owner of the STC. McCauley-supplied inspection criteria may not be valid for propellers that have STC installations because they may change the systems interface, operating characteristics and component loads or stresses on adjacent structures. Any inspection and/or repair requiring disassembly, reassembly or overhaul of a McCauley propeller must be done in an FAA-approved or international equivalent propeller repair station by qualified personnel. C. Users of this manual are presumed to have sufficient training to follow these instructions carefully and correctly. D. The inspection requirements are stated in a manner to establish what propeller component is to be inspected, preferred inspection method, and criteria for airworthiness. 2.

CONTENTS Page 3 of 3 © McCauley Propeller Systems Jun 17/2022 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR MAINTENANCE MANUAL FIXED PITCH PROPELLER DESCRIPTION 1. Metal Fixed Pitch Propellers A. The propellers of this model series are manufactured of one-piece anodized aluminum alloy and have a fixed pitch. NOTE: Some fixed pitch propellers are certified with a defined spacer. Refer to Propeller Installation Parts List, Table 1003, Installation Parts for Fixed Pitch Propellers for the correct part number spacer for each applicable propeller model. B. For identification, the hub of each propeller is stamped with the complete model number, serial number, Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) type certificate number, production certification number, and the number of times the propeller has been reconditioned. The complete model number is a combination of the basic model number and suffix numbers to indicate the propeller diameter and pitch. (1) Propeller Model Designation (a) The hub model designation is steel stamped on the forward/camber side/face of the propeller hub. 1 Example of hub model designation: C1390 54 69 1F100/CM BASIC DESIGN NUMBER (PLANFORM, ETC.). ONE TO FOUR LETTERS INDICATING TYPE OF CRANKSHAFT ON WHICH PROPELLER IS INSTALLED, BLADE TIP CONTOUR, USE OF ADAPTER, OR OTHER INFORMATION PERTAINING TO A SPECIFIC AIR− CRAFT INSTALLATION. PROPELLER DIAMETER, INCHES. INCHES PITCH AT 0.75 RADIUS. BASIC MODEL NUMBER C. Consult the FAA TC Data Sheets for details relating to approved engine/propeller/airplane installations of fixed pitch propellers covered in this manual. D. Propeller Mounting Torque (1) Refer to Propeller - Removal/Installation for the correct installation instructions and torque values for the propeller mounting hardware. 61-00-01 Page 1 © McCauley Propeller Systems Mar 13/2013 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR INFORMATION MANUAL E. Propeller Strike or Sudden Engine Stoppage (1) Refer to Necessary Actions Following Object Strike of Stationary Propeller, Blade Strike of Rotating Propeller, Bird Strike, or Sudden Engine Stoppage for the inspection requirements following a propeller "strike" type event. F. Lightning Strike (1) Refer to Lightning Strike Inspection Requirements for the inspection requirements following a suspected propeller Lightning strike type event. G. Definitions of Propeller Maintenance: (1) Overhaul. This term denotes a complete tear-down and reassembly which is not necessarily applicable to a fixed pitch propeller. The terms "overhaul" and "reconditioning" are sometimes used synonymously for a fixed pitch propeller. The overhaul of a propeller requires the propeller to be inspected for conformity to a fixed set of dimensions and is required on a predetermined interval while reconditioning can occur on an as needed basis. (2) Reconditioning. The repair of blade damage caused by erosion or striking small objects during normal operation. The propeller shall be fluorescent dye penetrant inspected, refinished, and rebalanced. Reconditioning is accomplished on an irregular basis as necessary and required. NOTE: Refer to Non-Destructive Inspection Procedures for fluorescent dye penetrant inspection procedures. (3) Repair. The correction on an irregular basis as necessary, of damage that has occurred to the propeller. The amount, degree, and extent of damage determines whether or not the propeller can be repaired without refinishing or removing the propeller from the engine. If a propeller is bent or twisted, the repair is major and reconditioning or overhaul of the propeller must be accomplished. (4) Frequency of Overhaul. Refer to Time Between Propeller Overhaul for required propeller overhaul intervals. Propellers shall also be overhauled or repaired as required for blade surface conditions. The propeller mounting bolt torque should be checked at least once a year. Propeller mounting bolts must be magnetic particle inspected in accordance with ASTM E-1444 or replaced whenever the propeller is removed from the engine. 2. Blade Serial Number Stamping Information A. Blade serial number information is stamped on the hub. (Refer to Figure 1). Table 1.

Reciprocating (Piston) Engine Propellers A. McCauley propellers for reciprocating engines are of two types: constant speed or constant speed feathering. Each type is provided in either a two-blade or three-blade configuration. (1) The C200 Series is a two-blade constant speed propeller. (Refer to Figure 1). (2) The C300 Series is a two-blade constant speed feathering propeller. (Refer to Figure 2). (3) The C400 Series is a three-blade constant speed propeller. (Refer to Figure 3). (4) The C500 Series is a three-blade constant speed feathering propeller. (Refer to Figure 4). B. Each propeller consists of a hub assembly, propeller blades, piston and cylinder assembly. C. Description of the Propeller Assembly and Deice Components: (1) Propeller Hub Assembly - The propeller hub is a single piece, hollow assembly with propeller blade sockets. Each blade socket to blade shank is O-ring sealed to prevent leakage. The rear hub face has threaded studs or bolts for attachment to the engine flange. Some engine flanges have dowels that mate with holes in the hub for alignment. These ensure proper mounting to the engine propeller shaft flange. (2) Propeller Blades - The propeller blades are made of solid forged aluminum. Each is match- balanced to the other blades. (a) The entire propeller assembly is static balanced as well, using balance weights mounted with screws to the blades or the cylinder balance ring. (3) Blade Retention - A set of split retainers (inside the hub) secures each blade in the hub at the blade sockets. During pitch change, each blade rotates about its axis on a bearing assembly. An actuating pin assembly is secured to the blade butt of each blade (inside the hub) by screws. The actuating pin is driven by a link assembly attached to the piston yoke inside the hub cavity. (4) PistonandCylinderAssembly-Oilpressure, controlledbythepropellergovernor, andaninternal spring act on the piston to provide the forces necessary to accomplish propeller blade pitch changes. The cylinder is mounted to the hub face with screws and is sealed to prevent leakage. (5) Counterweight - Feathering type propellers have counterweights attached to the blades to assist the rotation of the blade to the feathered position. (6) Internal Lubrication - On some models, grease is applied to the bearings for lubrication when the propeller is assembled. However, on other models the lubrication medium is oil. On oil-filled propellers, the hub cavity is partially filled with red dyed engine type oil which is sealed in the hub and isolated from engine oil. This oil provides lubrication and corrosion protection to blade bearings and other internal parts. The oil is dyed red to aid in the troubleshooting of suspected propeller leaks. NOTE: Periodic field maintenance of this lubrication is NOT normally required. D. Description of Piston Engine Propeller Operating Principles (1) The C200 and C400 series propellers are constant speed type. They are a single-acting unit in which hydraulic pressure works against the forces of springs and the natural centrifugal moment of the rotating blade to provide the correct pitch for engine load. Hydraulic pressure causes the blades to move toward high pitch (decreasing rpm). The springs and centrifugal moments urge blades toward low pitch (increasing rpm). (2) The C300 and C500 series propellers are constant speed and full-feathering type. They are a single-acting unit in which hydraulic pressure works against the forces of springs and counterweights to provide the correct pitch for engine load. Hydraulic pressure causes the blades to move toward low pitch (increasing rpm). The springs and counterweights urge blades toward high pitch (decreasing rpm). E. Propeller Deice (Refer to Figure 11) NOTE: Only components sold by McCauley are described. Some OEMs or STC owners may have different designs. (1) If propeller deice is installed, the components include: • electrically heated rubber boots 61-00-04 Page 1 © McCauley Propeller Systems Mar 13/2013 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR INFORMATION MANUAL 0102T1004 C320 LINK BALANCE RING SPACER−HIGH PITCH PISTON SUPPORT CYLINDER SPACER LOW PITCH ACTUATING PIN ASSEMBLY HUB BLADE WIRE RING RETAINING RING SHIM SPLIT SHIM SHIM CARRIER OUTER RACE BALLS/ SPACERS SPLIT RETAINER VENT STATIC BALANCE WEIGHTS SPRING INNER RACE O−RING McCauley PART NUMBER BLADE ANGLES SERIAL NO McCA C200 Series Propeller Figure 1 (Sheet 1) 61-00-04 Page 2 © McCauley Propeller Systems Mar 13/2013 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR INFORMATION MANUAL 0102T1004 C336 B−3905X SERIAL NO McCA BLADE ANGLES PART NUMBER McCauley OIL FILL HOLE SPRING SPLIT RETAINER INNER RACE BALLS/ SPACERS OUTER RACE SHIM CARRIER SPLIT SHIM SHIM RETAINING RING WIRE RING BLADE PLUG STATIC BALANCE WEIGHTS O−RING BLADE SLOT BLOCK ACTUATING PIN ASSEMBLY HUB SPACER LOW PITCH CYLINDER SUPPORT PISTON SPACER−HIGH PITCH BALANCE RING LINK C200 Series Propeller Figure 1 (Sheet 2) 61-00-04 Page 3 © McCauley Propeller Systems Mar 13/2013 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR INFORMATION MANUAL C319 0102T1020 B−4862−XXX FEATHER HIGH OR ANGLES NUMBER NSTRUCTIONS RDANCE WITH BE ACCOMPLISH INST ALL SERIAL NO.

(b) The heat melts a layer of the ice which allows the remaining ice to be removed from the propeller blades by centrifugal force. F. Propeller Anti-Ice (Refer to Figure 11) (1) If propeller alcohol anti-ice is installed, the components include: • slinger ring assembly • spray head assembly • propeller blade feed shoe (a) The slinger ring distributes anti-ice fluid from the fluid reservoir to the spray head assembly for each propeller blade. Anti-ice fluid is pumped into the rotating slinger ring and the centrifugal force of the rotating slinger ring forces the anti-ice fluid to flow to the spray head assemblies. (b) The spray head assembly transports the anti-ice fluid from the slinger ring to the propeller blade feed shoe. The spray head distributes the ant-ice fluid across the grooves that are imbedded in the propeller blade feed shoes. (c) The propeller blade feed shoe is attached to the leading edge of each propeller blade. The feed shoes are made of rubber and have grooves to guide/feed anti-ice fluid (alcohol) along the leading edge of the rotating propeller by centrifugal force. The alcohol that is distributed on the feed shoe and adjacent blade surface prevents the formation of ice on the propeller blades. G. Propeller Deice Boots/Alcohol Anti-Ice Feed Shoes (if installed). (1) The deice boots are constructed of fabric-reinforced, abrasion-resistant rubber. Electrical deice boots have a wire mesh or foil element that heats as current is supplied to the boot. A deice timer controls the current cycle that is applied to individual blades or boot segments. Alcohol anti-ice feed shoes are ridged for distribution of alcohol. The outer surface that is exposed to the environment has a glossy finish, while the side that is bonded to the propeller has a dull, matte finish. H. Deice Harness (if deice is installed) - The deice electrical harnesses connect the deice boots to the slip ring assembly to complete the deice electrical circuit. I. Deice Slip Ring Assembly (if deice is installed) - The deice slip ring assembly is constructed of machined aluminum with bronze commutator rings bonded to one side. Studs to attach the deice leads for each blade are located on the propeller side of the platter. These are brazed to the commutator rings and pass through holes provided for that purpose. Slip ring assemblies may be secured to the hub, to the starter ring gear, or the alternator belt drive pulley. 2. Turbine Engine Propellers A. Turbine Engine Propeller Component Description (1) McCauley C600 model series propellers have three propeller blades, C650 model series propellers have four propeller blades, C1100 model series propellers have five propeller blades. Each propeller consists of a hub assembly, propeller blades, piston and cylinder assembly, blade start locks, counterweights, a spinner, and spinner bulkhead assembly. (Refer to Figure 5, Figure 6 and Figure 10.) (a) The McCauley C600, C650, and C1100 model series propellers are used on Honeywell (Garrett) turbine engines. (2) McCauley C700 model series propellers have three propeller blades, C750 model series propellers have four propeller blades, C1000 model series propellers have five propeller blades. Each propeller consists of a hub assembly, propeller blades, piston and cylinder assembly, counterweights and beta shift mechanisms. (Refer to Figure 7, Figure 8 and Figure 9.) (a) The McCauley C700, C750 and C1000 model series propellers are used on Pratt and Whitney turbine engines. 61-00-04 Page 7 © McCauley Propeller Systems Mar 13/2013 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR INFORMATION MANUAL (3) Following is a breakdown of each of the propeller assemblies: (a) Propeller Hub Assembly 1 The propeller hub is a single-piece hollow forged aluminum assembly incorporating three, four or five propeller blade sockets. The propeller blade sockets are O-ring sealed to prevent leakage. The rear hub face has threaded studs and dowel holes for alignment and proper mounting to the engine propeller shaft flange. The cylinder is mounted to the hub face using screws and is O-ring sealed to prevent leakage. (b) Propeller Blades 1 The propeller blades are made of solid forged aluminum. A set of steel split retainers (inside the hub) secures each blade in the hub at the propeller blade sockets. Each blade rotates about its axis on a bearing assembly during pitch change and is match-balanced to the other blades. The propeller assembly is static balanced, using balance weights mounted with screws to the blades. (c) Piston and Cylinder Assembly 1 The piston and cylinder assembly (through the feather springs, counterweights, and oil pressure transferred through the piston rod) provide the forces necessary to accomplish propeller blade pitch changes. (d) Counterweights 1 Counterweights are attached to the blades to assist the feathering spring (located in front of the piston and cylinder assembly) in feathering the propeller blades by means of centrifugal force whenever the propeller is rotating and oil pressure in the cylinder is removed. (e) Internal Lubrication 1 The propeller hub cavity is partially filled with turbine oil which is sealed in the hub and isolated from engine oil. This oil provides lubrication and corrosion protection to blade bearings and other internal parts. The oil is dyed red on some models to aid in the troubleshooting of suspected propeller leaks. NOTE: Periodic maintenance of the lubrication is NOT normally required. (f) Propeller Start Lock (C600, C650, and C1100 Series only). 1 The propeller has a start lock mechanism installed within the cylinder. The mechanism includes latching weights which will engage a fixed stop to block movement of the piston in the direction of increasing blade pitch beyond a predetermined start lock blade angle. Latch engagement is possible only when the engine is shut off on the ground. When the propeller is rotating, the latch weights move out by centrifugal force so as to offer no interference to operation of the control system in flight. During all normal operating conditions, the weights are in a disengaged position and offer no resistance to feathering, unfeathering, or reversing of the propeller. NOTE: Special tools (McCauley part number B-5021/2) are required to release start locks manually for maintenance purposes. B. Description of Turbine Propeller Operating Principles (1) Propellers are a single acting unit in which hydraulic pressure opposes the forces of springs and counterweights to obtain the correct pitch for engine load. Hydraulic pressure urges blades toward low pitch (increasing RPM), while springs and counterweights urge blades toward high pitch (decreasing RPM). C. The propeller is designed to operate in two modes of operation - beta mode and governor mode: (1) GovernorMode-Oilismeteredtoandfromthepropeller(bygovernorcontrolvalveaspositioned by flyweights), increasing and decreasing blade angle (changing pitch) as required when the propeller speed control setting is altered, or increasing and decreasing pitch to control and stabilize engine speed with varying power conditions or flight attitudes with a fixed speed setting. (2) Beta Mode - The pilot may select beta mode for ground reversing or taxi operation by means of the aircraft engine mechanical linkage. The linkage repositions the propeller reversing lever and beta valve to provide access for high pressure oil to reach the propeller piston and move the blades toward reverse pitch. 61-00-04 Page 8 © McCauley Propeller Systems Mar 13/2013 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR INFORMATION MANUAL NUMBER 1 BLADE OIL FILL PLUG VIEW A−A C1192 0101T1050 A A BETA TUBE BLADE ACTUATING LINK LATCH PAWL LATCH−START LOCK A FEATHER STOP SPRINGS BLADE ACTUATING PIN PISTON CYLINDER COUNTERWEIGHT HUB ASSEMBLY BLADE SPLIT SHIM SHIM CARRIER DETAIL A SPLIT RETAINER INNER RACE O−RING BEARING OUTER RACE SOLID SHIM RETAINING RING WIRE RING C600 Series Propeller Figure 5 (Sheet 1) 61-00-04 Page 9 © McCauley Propeller Systems Mar 13/2013 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR INFORMATION MANUAL VIEW A−A NUMBER1 BLADE PROPELLER HUB OIL FILL SCREW C1193 0101T1049 A A LATCH PAWL LATCH− START LOCK PISTON ROD BETA TUBE (SUPPLIED BY THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER) LINK FEATHER STOP REVERSE STOP BLADE ACTUATING PIN SPRING PISTON CYLINDER BLADE HUB ASSEMBLY COUNTERWEIGHT A SPLIT SHIM SHIM CARRIER DETAIL A SPLIT RETAINER INNER RACE O−RING BEARING OUTER RACE SOLID SHIM RETAINING RING WIRE RING C650 Series Propeller Figure 6 (Sheet 1) 61-00-04 Page 10 © McCauley Propeller Systems Mar 13/2013 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR INFORMATION MANUAL NUMBER 1 BLADE PROPELLER HUB OIL FILL SCREW VIEW A−A 0101T1051 C1194 A A BETA ROD BETA FEED−BACK COLLAR LINK SLIP RING ASSEMBLY BETA ROD PISTON ROD A FEATHER STOP BLADE ACTUATING PIN SPRINGS PISTON CYLINDER COUNTERWEIGHT HUB ASSEMBLY BLADE SPLIT SHIM SHIM CARRIER DETAIL A SPLIT RETAINER INNER RACE O−RING BEARING OUTER RACE SOLID SHIM RETAINING RING WIRE RING C700 Series Propeller Figure 7 (Sheet 1) 61-00-04 Page 11 © McCauley Propeller Systems Mar 13/2013 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR INFORMATION MANUAL C1195 0101T1053 A A BETA FEED−BACK COLLAR BETA ROD LINK SLIP RING ASSEMBLY PISTON ROD BETA ROD A BLADE ACTUATION PIN FEATHER STOP PISTON CYLINDER SPRINGS COUNTERWEIGHT HUB ASSEMBLY BLADE SPLIT SHIM SHIM CARRIER DETAIL A SPLIT RETAINER INNER RACE O−RING BEARING OUTER RACE SOLID SHIM RETAINING RING WIRE RING OIL FILL SCREW NUMBER 1 BLADE VIEW A−A C750 Series Propeller Figure 8 (Sheet 1) 61-00-04 Page 12 © McCauley Propeller Systems Mar 13/2013 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR INFORMATION MANUAL 0102T1075 C1050 PROPELLER HUB OIL FILL SCREW BETA ROD BETA FEED−BACK COLLAR BLADE REVERSE STOP COUNTERWEIGHT SPRING CYLINDER PISTON FEATHER STOP LINK SLIP RING ASSEMBLY BETA ROD PISTON ROD BLADE ACTUATING PIN A WIRE RING RETAINING RING SOLID SHIM OUTER RACE BEARING O−RING INNER RACE SPLIT RETAINER DETAIL A SHIM CARRIER SPLIT SHIM C1000 Series Propeller Figure 9 (Sheet 1) 61-00-04 Page 13 © McCauley Propeller Systems Mar 13/2013 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR INFORMATION MANUAL NOTE: PROPELLER SECTIONAL DRAWING C1105 PROPELLER HUB OIL FILL SCREW BLADE BLADE PLUG RETAINER (SPLIT) BETA TUBE STUD HUB ACTUATING LINK ACTUATING PIN FEATHER STOP LATCH - START LOCK CYLINDER SPRING I I ERSE STOP LATCH PAWL PISTON SPLIT RETAINER SUPPORT PLATE BLADE RETENTION BEARING COUNTERWEIGHT 1196 C1100 Series Propeller Figure 10 (Sheet 1) 61-00-04 Page 14 © McCauley Propeller Systems Mar 13/2013 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR INFORMATION MANUAL D.

Refer to Time Between Propeller Overhaul for required propeller overhaul intervals. Propellers shall also be overhauled or repaired as required for blade surface conditions. 4. Propeller Model Designation A. McCauley uses a model designation system to identify specific propellers. This is done by utilizing a combination of hub and blade model designations. B. Hub Model Designation. (1) The hub model designation is steel stamped on the propeller hub.

General Information A. Types of Problems Normally Encountered (1) This section outlines and explains a number of operating characteristics which have been observed in service. There is some discussion of propeller design as it relates to these characteristics. Procedures for locating and correcting causes of undesirable operation are given. 2. Operation in Restricted Power or RPM Conditions (Turbine) A. There are several risks to the propeller blades and or hubs if the propeller is operated in restricted areas. (1) Each propeller is subjected to rigorous vibration tests to determine that the conditions under which a particular propeller/engine/airframe combination will operate safely. Certain power settings or RPM ranges are restricted by either the airframe manufacturer and/or McCauley. This is because vibrations produced in the restricted ranges can cause fatigue cracks in the hub or blades. Such cracks could cause catastrophic failures of the propeller and a subsequent crash of the aircraft. B. Always carefully obey the restrictions published in the aircraft AFM/POH or the POH supplement provided with the STC under which the propeller is installed. CAUTION: Failure to follow the published limitations for any McCauley propeller, could result in a reduced life or possibly even catastrophic loss of the propeller and/or aircraft. C. If you are aware that a McCauley propeller has been operated outside the published limitations or in a restricted area, immediately call McCauley Product Support for assistance. 3. Propeller RPM Fluctuations (Constant Speed Piston, Turbine) A. Symptoms: (1) Hunting is a cyclic or constant variation of engine speed, above and below that desired. It will be shown by constant wavering of the tachometer reading. (2) Surging is a wide or excessive increase or decrease in engine speed followed by return to the established speed after one or more oscillations. (3) Surging will occur and should be considered normal if lever/throttle is moved rapidly. B. Possible Causes: (1) Hunting is seldom, if ever, caused by the propeller itself. Those conditions reported primarily have been caused by other parts of the system such as governor, fuel control, etc. (a) For piston engine installations, the propeller can be tested in flight by reducing the manifold pressure. ThepropellercontrolshouldbeinthefullRPMpositionandthemanifoldpressure should be reduced until the RPM drops slightly. This ensures that the propeller is against its low pitch stop and is eliminated from the equation. (2) Surging may be caused by air in the propeller control hydraulic system, governor not operating correctly, or problems associated with the engine transfer bearing or collar. (3) If the governor test is satisfactory and no other system faults can be found, the propeller may be at fault. Although very rare, hunting and surging may be due to excessive internal pressure in the propeller or overshimming of the propeller blades. C. Corrective Action: (1) If the propeller is suspected as the cause, it should be removed for examination by a McCauley authorized service facility. (2) Surging has been encountered on ground operation after initial installation while purging air from the system. (a) If encountered at other times, the propeller should be cycled repeatedly to remove all air from the system. 61-00-06 Page 101 © McCauley Propeller Systems Mar 13/2013 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR INFORMATION MANUAL (b) If the condition persists, it may be attributable to the governor, and the governor should be removed and tested. The propeller should be purged of air again after the governor is reinstalled. 4. Changing RPM or Creeping (Constant Speed Piston, Turbine) A. Propeller RPM changing and holding new setting. (1) Possible Cause: (a) Excessive "play" in the linkage between the governor and the cockpit control often leads to erratic operation. (b) (Constant speed piston only) Possible excessive engine compartment heat affecting the governor plastic top cover. (2) Corrective Action: (a) Trace linkage, locate unsecured sections, and tighten as needed. (b) Pleasenotethatalthoughlinkagemayappeartoallowfullgovernorcontrolwhiletheengine is off, it may not in the air. Engine vibration and "stretch" of the mount during operation can often aggravate the condition. Therefore, it is important the entire length of linkage be properly secured. (c) (Constant speed piston only)If heat has distorted the plastic top cover, replace it with an aluminum top cover. B. Oncespeedcontrolandpowersettingsareestablishedforaflightattitude(cruise)andthentheattitude is altered (to climb) without change of speed and power settings, the engine speed may change slightly. (1) Possible Causes: (a) This effect is commonly known as "creeping" of the speed setting. It is a natural result and comes about in the following manner. When speed and power settings are established, the governor control valve will be opened an amount to provide a pressure which balances the propeller counterweight forces and spring load, and an oil flow which is determined by the leakage through the propeller pitch control bearing at that pressure. This will maintain the blade angle such that set power may be absorbed at the desired speed. (b) If the attitude of the aircraft is altered and the airspeed changes, the blade angle will change to absorb the power at this airspeed. This change in blade angle will cause the forces to vary and consequently will change the control pressure and the propeller pitch control bearing leakage rate. (c) Since the governor had been adjusted by the speed control for the first set of conditions, the effect will be to change the effective equilibrium speed of the propeller with no change in governor setting. The amount of change varies with engine transfer bearing clearance. (d) This speed change is generally a negligible amount and is not cause for concern since it is a normal reaction of the control system. (e) Control-friction lock in the aircraft is faulty. (2) Corrective Action: (a) If it is desired that the original speed setting be maintained in the new flight attitude, it may be necessary to alter the propeller control lever as required after the aircraft is trimmed out. 1 Refer to the aircraft maintenance manual. 5. Improper Propeller Static RPM (Piston) A. Incorrect propeller speed at a given power and static RPM setting. (1) Possible Cause: (a) If maximum static RPM is incorrect, the problem can normally be attributed to either incorrect low blade angle or insufficient engine horsepower. However, if the maximum in-flight RPM is incorrect, then an adjustment of the governor may be necessary. NOTE: On static runs, the propeller should prevent the engine RPM from going to red line. This is done to prevent overspeeding and is a design characteristic of the propeller. However, it should be within 100 RPM of red line. 61-00-06 Page 102 © McCauley Propeller Systems Mar 13/2013 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR INFORMATION MANUAL (2) Corrective Action: (a) One area that is often at fault for indicated RPM problems is the tachometer. Aviation tachometers can be inaccurate, so begin troubleshooting by verifying the accuracy of the tachometer. (b) Verify the propeller low blade angles are correct. This is most effectively accomplished at a McCauley authorized propeller repair facility. This is done by measuring the blade angle at the reference station (generally the 30 inch (762 mm) station) and comparing the angles to those listed in either the type certificate of the airframe manufacturer or the STC under which the propeller was installed. If the angles are correct, then the engine is not producing the proper horsepower needed to make the rated static RPM. (c) Begin troubleshooting the engine. 6. Improper Propeller Maximum RPM in Flight (Constant Speed Piston) A. Incorrect propeller speed with maximum RPM selected in flight. (1) Possible Cause: (a) Inaccurate tachometer reading. (b) Linkage is out of rig. (c) Governor stop screw requires adjustment. (2) Corrective Action: (a) Repair or replace the tachometer. (b) Governor stop screw requires adjustment. 1 Do a test flight. 2 Pull the propeller control back until it reaches redline RPM. 3 Allow the RPM to stabilize. 4 Land the aircraft without touching the propeller control lever. 5 Adjust the propeller stop screw to the propeller control location. 6 Rigtheaircraftpowercontrolsinaccordancewiththeinstructionsofthemanufacturer. 7 Do another flight test to verify the correct setting. 7. Propeller Fails to Control A. (Constant speed, non-feathering only) Propeller goes to low pitch (high RPM) of its own accord. (1) Possible Cause: (a) Governor linkage disconnected. 1 Corrective Action: a Check and repair governor linkage. (b) Engine transfer bearing/collar oil leakage rate exceeds specification. 1 Corrective Action. a Check transfer bearing/collar oil leakage rate per the instructions of the engine manufacturer. (c) Loss of engine oil pressure. 1 Corrective action: a Verify the engine oil pressure in accordance with the instructions of the engine manufacturer. (d) Obstruction in the crankshaft. 1 Correction action: a Remove propeller and check for obstruction in the crankshaft oil gallery (ie. rags, shipping plugs, etc.). (e) Internal governor problem. 1 Corrective Action: a Have the governor checked by an FAA approved Part 145 Propeller Repair Station or international equivalent. NOTE: Failure of an internal governor part may result in metal contamination in the engine oil lubrication system. If internal governor failure is confirmed, the engine and propeller should be checked for metal contamination in accordance with the specifications of the engine manufacturer. 61-00-06 Page 103 © McCauley Propeller Systems Mar 13/2013 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR INFORMATION MANUAL B. (Feathering propeller) The propeller goes to high pitch or feathers of its own accord. This may occur without warning from otherwise normal operation and may or may not be accompanied by noticeable external oil leakage. (1) Possible Cause: (a) Incorrectly adjusted governor. 1 Corrective Action: a Have the governor checked by an FAA approved Part 145 Propeller Repair Station or international equivalent. (b) Incorrectly rigged governor. 1 Corrective Action: a Check governor control rigging in aircraft for proper operation. (c) Engine transfer bearing/collar oil leakage rate exceeds specification. 1 Corrective Action. a Check transfer bearing/collar oil leakage rate per the instructions of the engine manufacturer. (d) Loss of engine oil pressure. 1 Corrective action: a Verify the engine oil pressure in accordance with the instructions of the engine manufacturer. (e) Obstruction in crankshaft. 1 Correction action: a Remove propeller and check for obstruction in the crankshaft oil gallery (ie. Rags, shipping plugs, etc.). (f) Internal governor problem. 1 Corrective Action: a Have the governor checked by an FAA approved Part 145 Propeller Repair Station or international equivalent. NOTE: Failure of an internal governor part may result in metal contamination in the engine oil lubrication system. If internal governor failure is confirmed, the engine and propeller should be checked for metal contamination in accordance with the specifications of the engine manufacturer. C. Extreme sluggishness, failure to respond to changes in RPM setting or failure to hold constant RPM with varying aircraft attitude. (1) Possible Cause: (a) Obstruction in the engine crankshaft. 1 Correction action: a Remove propeller and check for obstruction in the crankshaft oil gallery (ie. Rags, shipping plugs, etc.). (b) Internal governor problem. 1 Corrective Action: a Have the governor checked by an FAA approved Part 145 Propeller Repair Station or international equivalent. NOTE: Failure of an internal governor part may result in metal contamination in the engine oil lubrication system. If internal governor failure is confirmed, the engine and propeller should be checked for metal contamination in accordance with the specifications of the engine manufacturer. (c) Internal Propeller problem. 1 Corrective action: a Have the propeller checked by an FAA approved Part 145 Propeller Repair Station or international equivalent.. 61-00-06 Page 104 © McCauley Propeller Systems Mar 13/2013 McCAULEY PROPELLER SYSTEMS OWNER/OPERATOR INFORMATION MANUAL (d) Engine transfer bearing/collar oil leakage rate exceeds specification or rotated engine transfer bearing. 1 Corrective Action. a Check transfer bearing/collar condition and oil leakage rate per the instructions of the engine manufacturer. 8.
