29.1521—Powerplant limitations.
(a) General.
The powerplant limitations prescribed in this section must be established so that they do not exceed the corresponding limits for which the engines are type certificated.
(4)
The maximum allowable power or torque for each engine, considering the power input limitations of the transmission with all engines operating;
(5)
The maximum allowable power or torque for each engine considering the power input limitations of the transmission with one engine inoperative;
(6)
The time limit for the use of the power corresponding to the limitations established in paragraphs (b)(1) through (5) of this section; and
(i)
The maximum allowable cylinder head or coolant outlet temperature (for reciprocating engines); and
(5)
The maximum allowable power or torque for each engine, considering the power input limitations of the transmission with all engines operating;
(6)
The maximum allowable power or torque for each engine, considering the power input limitations of the transmission with one engine inoperative; and
(d) Fuel grade or designation.
The minimum fuel grade (for reciprocating engines) or fuel designation (for turbine engines) must be established so that it is not less than that required for the operation of the engines within the limitations in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.
(e) Ambient temperature.
Ambient temperature limitations (including limitations for winterization installations if applicable) must be established as the maximum ambient atmospheric temperature at which compliance with the cooling provisions of §§ 29.1041 through 29.1049 is shown.
(f) Two and one-half minute OEI power operation.
Unless otherwise authorized, the use of 2 1/2 -minute OEI power must be limited to engine failure operation of multiengine, turbine-powered rotorcraft for not longer than 2 1/2 minutes for any period in which that power is used. The use of 2 1/2 -minute OEI power must also be limited by—
(g) Thirty-minute OEI power operation.
Unless otherwise authorized, the use of 30-minute OEI power must be limited to multiengine, turbine-powered rotorcraft for not longer than 30 minutes after failure of an engine. The use of 30-minute OEI power must also be limited by—
(h) Continuous OEI power operation.
Unless otherwise authorized, the use of continuous OEI power must be limited to multiengine, turbine-powered rotorcraft for continued flight after failure of an engine. The use of continuous OEI power must also be limited by—
(i) Rated 30-second OEI power operation.
Rated 30-second OEI power is permitted only on multiengine, turbine-powered rotorcraft, also certificated for the use of rated 2-minute OEI power, and can only be used for continued operation of the remaining engine(s) after a failure or precautionary shutdown of an engine. It must be shown that following application of 30-second OEI power, any damage will be readily detectable by the applicable inspections and other related procedures furnished in accordance with Section A29.4 of appendix A of this part and Section A33.4 of appendix A of part 33. The use of 30-second OEI power must be limited to not more than 30 seconds for any period in which that power is used, and by—
(j) Rated 2-minute OEI power operation.
Rated 2-minute OEI power is permitted only on multiengine, turbine-powered rotorcraft, also certificated for the use of rated 30-second OEI power, and can only be used for continued operation of the remaining engine(s) after a failure or precautionary shutdown of an engine. It must be shown that following application of 2-minute OEI power, any damage will be readily detectable by the applicable inspections and other related procedures furnished in accordance with Section A29.4 of appendix a of this part and Section A33.4 of appendix A of part 33. The use of 2-minute OEI power must be limited to not more than 2 minutes for any period in which that power is used, and by—
