Design Organisation Approval No. AS-SI/20/005 dated 15 December 2020

SUBJECT: INSTALLATION OF GOODRICH ELECTROTHERMAL

PROPELLER DE-ICING SYSTEM 7E1456 ON PROPELLER
HARTZELL HC-B3TF-7A/T10173F(N)-21R AND SPINNER HARTZELL
835-39(P)

1. GENERAL

1.1 AIRCRAFT AFFECTED

• AP68TP-300 Spartacus
• AP68TP-600 Viator

1.2 PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to supply the instructions needed to install the BF Goodrich
Electrothermal Propeller De-Icing System 7E1456 on the existing propellers Hartzell HC-
B3TF-7A/T10173F(B)(N)-21R and spinner Hartzell 835-39(P).

1.3 DESCRIPTION
The modification of the existing propellers described hereto permits the installation and use of
BF Goodrich Electrothermal Propeller De-Icing System 7E1456 on AP68TP-600 Viator and
AP68TP-300 Spartacus aircraft.
The BF Goodrich propeller de-icer is electrically heated and protected by fabric and rubber
plies that resist to oil, erosion and abrasion. It is bonded on propeller blades.
Electrically heated prop de-icers, combined with the centrifugal force of rotating propeller and
the airstream, remove accumulated ice.
To conserve power and effectively remove ice, the de-icers are heated in timed intervals in
specific sequence.
The installation of Kit SI111/A or Kit SI111/B must be carried out, in accordance with the
Figure No.2 or No.3, as applicable.
