A. The 250–C40B Series Maintenance Manual format conforms to the Air Transport Association
of America Specification for Manufacturer’s Technical Data (ATA Specification No. 100).
B. The manual is divided into chapters, sections, and subjects. Each chapter is identified by a
tab divider. The divider is followed by a chapter table of contents listing the sections and
subjects in the chapter.
(1) The CHAPTER number block is composed of three elements of two digits each. For
example:
73–21–01
(2) A page numbering code identifies the type of information on any page by a page block
system. These are the page blocks and the type of information they cover.

(3) Each topic always begins with the first page number on the block: Description and
Operation for any topic begins with page 1, Maintenance Practices always begins with
page 201, and so on.
(4) A complete list of effective pages is located behind the manual title page. This list is
provided so that the recipient may check and make sure that no pages are missing. A
new list of pages accompanies each revision.
(5) Both an alphabetical and numerical index of manual contents follow the list of pages.
C. Two types of revisions will be published for the manual: temporary revisions and normal
revisions.
(1) Temporary revisions will be published to cover interim additions or changes rapidly.
They will be printed on yellow paper and will supplement the basic text. Temporary
revisions will be issued when required.
(2) Normal revisions will be published on a periodic basis and will be printed on white
paper. Normal revision pages will replace pages in the basic text and will supersede
any previously published temporary revisions.
(1) Condition––This describes the type of wear or damage which may be found by
inspection of the part involved.
(2) Serviceable Limits––This is the maximum degree of a specified condition which can be
accepted, allowing the part to be placed back into service without repair.
(3) Repairable Limits––This is the maximum degree of a specified condition which can be
repaired. Any condition exceeding the limit cannot be corrected by the specified repair
procedure; therefore, the part must be condemned.
(4) Disposition––This gives the recommended corrective action for a given condition; i.e.,
condition limits for scrapping a part or the preferred repair procedure for bringing a
repairable condition within serviceable limits.

WARNINGS
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to be completely familiar with the warnings and cautions de-
scribed in this manual. These warnings and cautions advise of specific operating and servicing
methods that, if not observed, can cause a serious engine malfunction or cause the engine to
lose power in flight which can result in loss of life, injury, or damage to equipment.
It is, however, important to understand that these warnings and cautions are not exhaustive.
Rolls–Royce could not possibly know, evaluate and advise the user of all conceivable ways in
which service might be done or of the possible hazardous consequences of each way. Conse-
quently, Rolls–Royce has not undertaken any such broad evaluation.
Proper methods of operation, service, and repair are important to the safe, reliable operation
of all equipment. The procedures recommended by Rolls–Royce and described in this manual
are effective methods for performing these operations. Some of these service operations re-
quire the use of tools specially designed for the purpose. The special tools should be used
when and as recommended. ROLLS–ROYCE STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THE PROCE-
DURES HEREIN SHOULD BE USED TO THE EXCLUSION OF OTHERS.

LIST OF WARNINGS
1. This manual contains the following warnings. It is your responsibility to be familiar with all of them.
THE MAXIMUM OIL CONSUMPTION LIMIT IS ONE (1) QUART IN FIVE HOURS. OPERATION IN EX-
CESS OF THIS LIMIT IS NOT PERMITTED. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION CAN BE INDICATIVE
OF A SERIOUS INTERNAL OIL LEAK. AN INTERNAL OIL LEAK CAN RESULT IN AN UNDETECTED
INTERNAL OIL FIRE WHICH WILL RESULT IN A DISASTROUS TURBINE FAILURE.
TO PREVENT ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM CONTAMINATION WHICH COULD CAUSE ENGINE FLAME-
OUT, AN EXTERNAL LOW PRESSURE FUEL FILTER SYSTEM SHOULD BE USED ON ANY AIR-
CRAFT REFUELING EQUIPMENT USED AT REMOTE SITES (DRUMS ETC.).
SNOW OR ICE SLUGS CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FLAME OUT. BE SURE AVAILABLE PREVEN-
TIVE EQUIPMENT IS INSTALLED AND IN PROPER WORKING ORDER WHEN FLYING IN CONDI-
TIONS WHERE SNOW OR ICE BUILDUP MIGHT OCCUR.
SALT LADEN HUMIDITY AND CHEMICALS WILL CORRODE THE COMPRESSOR CAUSING IT TO
FAIL.
HOT STARTS OR AFTERFIRES AFTER SHUTDOWN WILL CAUSE TURBINE BLADE AND WHEEL
DAMAGE, WHICH CAN RESULT IN ENGINE FAILURE.

250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
TO PREVENT ENGINE FUEL STARVATION AND SUBSEQUENT FLAME–OUT, ANY AIRCRAFT RE-
QUIRING FUEL BOOST PUMP(S) SHOULD USE THESE PUMPS AS DIRECTED IN THE AIRCRAFT
FLIGHT MANUAL.
THE PILOT IS TO VERIFY PROPER OPERATION OF THE ECU CONTROLLABLE COCKPIT INDICA-
TIONS. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ECU POWER IS TURNED ON, A LAMP TEST IS PERFORMED
BY THE ECU TO ILLUMINATE THE ECU FAIL, ECU FAULT LIGHT, ECU DEGRADE LIGHT, OVER-
SPEED, ENGINE OUT, AND MANUAL MODE LIGHTS FOR THREE (3) SECONDS. THE LIGHTS
SHALL THEN BE EXTINGUISHED FOR THREE (3) SECONDS BEFORE THE TEST IS COMPLETE
AND NORMAL INDICATION OPERATION BEGINS.
IF ECU FAIL IS INDICATED AFTER COMPLETION OF THE LAMP TEST, DO NOT START THE EN-
GINE. MAINTENANCE ACTION IS REQUIRED.
CERTAIN ECU FAILURES CAN CAUSE A DIRECT REVERSION TO MANUAL MODE CONTROL WITH
OR WITHOUT A MANUAL MODE INDICATION. ANY TIME THE ECU FAILURE INDICATION TURNS
ON, THE PILOT SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR A CHANGE IN ENGINE POWER.
ENGAGING THE MANUAL MODE AT ANY POWER SETTING ABOVE GROUND IDLE WILL RESULT
IN A CHANGE IN ENGINE POWER. WHEN THE FUEL CONTROL REVERTS TO MANUAL MODE,
THE ENGINE POWER OUTPUT WILL CHANGE AS THE HYDRAULIC PISTONS ADJUST THE FUEL
FLOW TO THE RATE COMMANDED BY THE THROTTLE.

MANUAL MODE STARTING ON THE GROUND IS NOT AUTHORIZED EXCEPT FOR USE UNDER
EMERGENCY CONDITIONS OR UNDER SPECIAL PERMIT FROM THE FAA. AUTOMATIC HOT
START ABORT FEATURES AVAILABLE IN THE AUTOMATIC MODE ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN MANU-
AL MODE, AND HOT STARTING THE ENGINE WITH ATTENDANT PUBLISHED MAINTENANCE AC-
TIONS IS POSSIBLE. MANUAL MODE STARTING ON THE GROUND IS NOT RECOMMENDED
FOR ANY REASON.
MANUAL STARTS ARE NOT PERMITTED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES AFTER AN AUTO START
ABORT BY THE ECU OR WITH A LOW BATTERY.
MANUAL MODE AIR STARTS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED. EXCEPT FOR USE UNDER EMERGENCY
CONDITIONS.
ENGINE FLAMEOUT COULD RESULT FROM FAILURE TO USE ANTI–ICE PROTECTION SUCH AS
ANTI–ICE FUEL ADDITIVE (PRIST) OR A MEANS OF AIRFRAME FUEL ICE ELIMINATION. FOR EN-
GINES EQUIPPED WITH A COMBINED ENGINE FILTER ASSEMBLY (CEFA), ANTI–ICE PROTEC-
TION IS REQUIRED BELOW–12°C (10°F). REFER TO THE AIRCRAFT MANUAL FOR AIRCRAFT
MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDATIONS.
DO NOT TURN OFF SYSTEMS OR COMPONENTS REQUIRED FOR SAFE FLIGHT. IF ANTI–ICE IS
FREQUENTLY REQUIRED FOR SAFE FLIGHT, IT SHOULD BE OPERATED DURING EACH TREND
CHECK.
USE A TORQUE REACTION WRENCH ON ALL FITTINGS WHEN TIGHTENING B–NUTS TO PRE-
VENT CRACKING OF CASTING BOSSES OR TUBE FLARES.
MAINTAIN THE COMPLETE OIL SYSTEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH ENGINE AND AIRCRAFT
INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE OIL SYSTEM CAN RESULT IN SUDDEN ENGINE
STOPPAGE.

OPERATORS MUST MAINTAIN THE ENGINE MAGNETIC DRAIN PLUGS AND INDICATING SYSTEM
IN OPERATING ORDER AND COMPLY WITH AIRCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL AND ENGINE OPERA-
TION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS WHEN AN INDICATION IS RECEIVED. NEV-
ER ALLOW AN ACCEPTABLE SPECTROGRAPHIC OIL ANALYSIS PROGRAM (SOAP) READING TO
OVERRIDE MAGNETIC DRAIN PLUG INDICATIONS.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL, ALIGN, AND TORQUE FUEL, OIL, AND AIR FITTINGS AND
TUBES COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FAILURE.
MINERAL SPIRITS ARE TOXIC. PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION FOR PERSONNEL USING
THEM.
MAKE SURE THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH IS OFF BEFORE REMOVING THE SPARK IGNITER OR
SPARK IGNITER LEAD ASSEMBLY AS DANGEROUSLY HIGH VOLTAGES MAY BE PRESENT. AL-
LOW FIVE MINUTES AFTER OPERATION FOR ELECTRICAL DISSIPATION BEFORE DISASSEMB-
LY.
AN ENGINE WHICH HAS BEEN OPERATED ON LEADED FUEL HAS A PALE YELLOW POWDER
RESIDUE ON THE EXHAUST PASSAGES. HANDLING LEAD RESIDUE COATED PARTS BY PER-
SONS WITH OPEN CUTS OR SCRATCHES ON THEIR HANDS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES WHEN HANDLING RESIDUE COATED PARTS.
AIR LEAKAGE ACROSS THE U–RING IS AN INDICATION THAT PRESSURIZATION OF THE NUM-
BER 8 BEARING SUMP WILL OCCUR WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. THIS PRESSURIZATION
WILL CAUSE A FLOW REVERSAL ACROSS THE NUMBER 8 LABYRINTH SEAL. THIS LEAKAGE
CAN RESULT IN AN ENGINE OIL FIRE AND THE SUBSEQUENT FAILURE OF A TURBINE WHEEL.
A SECTION OF THE FAILED WHEEL CAN EXIT THE ENGINE WITH POTENTIALLY SERIOUS RE-
SULTS.
ANTI–ICING AIR IS HOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. DO NOT CHECK AIR FLOW BY
FEEL.

AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS
DESCRIPTION
1. Airworthiness Limitations
CAUTION: OPERATORS ARE REQUIRED BY FAA TO COMPLY WITH THE PARTS LIFE
LIMITATIONS INDICATED HEREIN. THE OPERATOR ALONE MUST MAINTAIN
RECORDS OF BOTH HOURS AND CYCLES. BOTH TOTAL TIME AND
ACCUMULATED CYCLES OF APPLICABLE COMPONENTS MUST BE
RECORDED IN PART I SERVICE RECORD AND PART VI CYCLE RECORD
PAGES RESPECTIVELY FOR THE COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY AND TURBINE
ASSEMBLY. FAILURE TO RECORD HOUR AND CYCLIC DATA OF APPLICABLE
PARTS IN THE LOG BOOK WILL RESULT IN THOSE PARTS BEING REPLACED
AT THE OPERATOR’S EXPENSE WHEN ENGINES OR COMPONENTS ARE
RETURNED FOR REPAIR OR OVERHAUL. REFER TO PARAGRAPH 14 LOG
BOOK ENTRIES, FOR AN EXPLANATION OF LOG BOOK ENTRIES PERTAINING
TO CYCLE AND HOUR RECORDS ON LIFE LIMITED PARTS.
NOTE: All Life Limited Parts removed from a type certificated product must be tagged to identify
the part. The tag or record must include the part number, serial number and current life
status of the part, hours, and cycles. Each time the part is removed, either a new tag or
record must be created, or the existing tag or record must be updated with the current life
status of the part. The tag or record must remain with the part at all times when not
installed.
When a life limited part is removed from service due to meeting the published life limits,
vibropeen or etch the words “life expired” next to or under the part number. A life limited
part, other than new (however, proper paper work to provide traceability is still required),
must have a tag or record attached.
Chapter 05–10–00 contains FAA approved operating limitations for those engine parts that are life
limited. Parts life limits are based on either total operating hours or total cycles, whichever occurs
first. Operating hours, with respect to maintenance records, is defined as the time from the
moment the aircraft leaves the surface of the earth, until it touches down at the next point of
landing. A cycle is defined as a start or start attempt. Total cycles are recorded in the electronic
control unit as part of the maintenance history data. Assistance is available for determining total
engine cycles at any given time by connecting the ground maintenance terminal to the aircraft
interface terminal.
NOTE: Refer to Table 7, Chapter 72–00–00, for Time Between Overhaul (TBO) limits on the
250–C40B Series Engine.
Certification of the Model 250–C40B 30 Second OEI and 2 Minute OEI ratings was per Special
Condition SC–95–04–NE. This Special Condition provides for the definition and limitations of 30
Second OEI and 2 Minute OEI power.
Operation at these increased power ratings is limited to one–flight operation after the failure of one
engine in a multi–engine aircraft. Mandatory maintenance and inspection requirements are
defined in the appropriate sections of this manual.

250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The Rolls–Royce 250–C40B engine is an internal combustion turboshaft engine featuring a free
power turbine. The gas generator is composed of a single–stage, single entry centrifugal flow
compressor directly coupled to a two–stage gas generator turbine. The power turbine is a two–
stage free turbine which is gas coupled to the gas generator turbine. The integral reduction
gearbox has front and rear drive flanges to mate with aircraft drives. The engine has a single
combustion chamber with single ignition. The output shaft center line is located below the center
line of the engine rotor and the single exhaust outlet is directed upward. The engine incorporates a
Full Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC) system.
Numerical units of measurement in this manual are given in terms standard to the United States
System of Weights and Measures (English System). Where applicable, an equivalent SI metric
unit (International System of Units) is given in parentheses adjacent to the listed value. An
exception to the English (Metric) rule is made in the operating procedures of this manual. Degrees
Celsius followed by degrees Fahrenheit in parentheses are used when discussing temperatures
read in °C on aircraft instrumentation.
2. Components
The major engine components are a compressor, combustion section, turbine, and power and
accessory gearbox. (See Figure 1.)
A. Compressor
The compressor assembly consists of a compressor front support, shroud housing, diffuser,
rear support assembly, centrifugal impeller, scroll assembly, mount assembly and bearings.
The front support encloses the front bearing and supports it through five hollow inlet struts.
The struts are hollow to permit anti–icing using compressor discharge air; also, to permit
introduction of oil to and from the compressor front bearing. The compressor rear bearing is
mounted in the rear support assembly and is lubricated from the gearbox.
B. Combustion Section
The combustion section consists of an outer combustion case and a combustion liner. The
combustion liner is located in the outer case. The liner is supported and oriented at the
forward end by the gas producer nozzle vane assembly and at the rear by the fuel nozzle.
The fuel nozzle is mounted in the aft end of the outer combustion case. The igniter plug is
mounted near the aft end of the case. Air enters the single combustion liner at the aft end
through holes in the liner dome and skin. The air is mixed with fuel sprayed from the fuel
injector and combustion takes place. Combustion gases move forward out of the combustion
liner to the first–stage gas producer turbine nozzle.
C. Turbine
The turbine consists of a gas producer turbine support, a power turbine support, a gas
producer turbine rotor, a power turbine rotor, and a turbine and exhaust collector support.
The turbine is mounted between the combustion section and the power and accessory
gearbox. The two–stage gas producer turbine drives the compressor and accessory gear
train. The two–stage power turbine drives the spare pad, the permanent magnet alternator
(PMA) pad and furnishes the output power of the engine. The expanded gases discharge
through the turbine and in an upward direction through the exhaust collector support. The
rear engine mount is located on the bottom rear of the turbine.

250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The main power and accessory drive gear trains are enclosed in a single gear case. The
gear case serves as the structural support of the engine. All engine components including
the engine–mounted accessories are attached to the case. A two–stage helical and spur
gear set is used to reduce rotational speed from 30908 rpm at the power turbine to 9598 rpm
at the output drive flange. The rear and front sides of the output drive shaft incorporate
flanged output drive couplings. The two couplings are held together by a tiebolt, two
washers, and a nut. Magnetic carbon type seals have been incorporated into the front and
rear power takeoff seal positions.
The gas producer gear train drives the compressor, hydromechanical unit (HMU) the
pressure and scavenge oil pump (inside the gearbox), and a pad for an optional airframe
furnished gas producer tachometer–generator. In addition to providing output power of the
engine, the power turbine gear train drives the permanent magnet alternator (PMA), and a
pad for an optional airframe furnished power turbine tachometer–generator. The gearbox
also contains two engine furnished dual winding monopole pickups. One of the pickups is
used to measure gas producer speed. The other pickup produces an electrical signal that is
used to measure power turbine speed and for overspeed protection. On each pick–up, both
coils provide an input signal to the ECU, and one of the signals is shared with the airframe.
3. Systems
The major systems of the engine are fuel, lubrication, electrical, and anti–icing air.
A. Fuel System
The HMU (Hydromechanical Unit), CEFA (Combined Engine Filter Assembly), and Fuel
Nozzle are the major fuel system components. The HMU and CEFA are located
schematically between the fuel inlet and nozzle. (See Figure 3)
A Full Authority Digital Electronic Fuel Control (FADEC) system is installed on the
250–C40B engine. The FADEC is a single channel control, with a hydromechanical
back–up (manual mode). It has engine torque, temperature and speed limiting
capability. The FADEC system has two main components. The Electronic Control Unit
(ECU) is airframe mounted. The ECU monitors, controls and limits engine speed, fuel
flow, acceleration rate, temperature, torque and other engine parameters. An
engine–mounted Permanent Magnet Alternator (PMA) provides electrical power to the
ECU at power turbine speeds of 85% and above. The second FADEC component is
the Hydromechanical Unit (HMU). The HMU is engine mounted and driven by the N1
gear train. The HMU includes the fuel metering unit and both a boost stage (high
performance liquid ring) fuel pump and main fuel pump (gear stage). (The fuel filter is
located schematically between the boost and main pump stages.) In manual mode,
the HMU provides altitude biased and slew rate limited fuel flow as a function of power
lever angle.
The overspeed protection system electronics are located in the ECU and activate an
overspeed valve in the HMU. The overspeed protection system is active in both the
automatic and manual modes for the power turbine, and in automatic mode only for the
gas generator turbine.

PARA. 3 (cont)
The lubrication system is a circulating dry sump type with an external reservoir and heat
exchanger mounted and furnished by the airframe manufacturer.
A gear–type pressure and scavenge pump assembly is mounted within the gearbox.
A package containing an oil filter element, an impending bypass visual indicator, a filter
bypass valve, and a pressure regulating valve is located in the upper left hand side of the
gearbox housing and is accessible from the top of the engine. A check valve, located
between the filter package and the accessory gearbox, prevents oil from draining into the
engine from the aircraft tank when the engine is not in operation.
An indicating type, quick disconnect, fuzz burning, self sealing magnetic chip detector (drain
plug) is installed at the bottom of the gearbox. A second indicating type, quick disconnect,
fuzz burning magnetic chip detector (drain plug) is installed at the engine oil outlet
connection. (This plug is not self sealing due to space constraints.) A replaceable element, 3
micron, (absolute) scavenge oil filter with bypass valve, and an impending bypass indicator,
are housed within the lube side of the CEFA.
All engine oil system lines and connections are internal, except the pressure and scavenge
lines to the front compressor bearing and the bearings in the gas producer and power turbine
supports.

C. Ignition System
The ignition system consists of a harness, a solid–state, low tension, capacitor discharge
ignition exciter, a spark igniter lead, and a shunted surface–gap spark igniter. The system
derives its input power from an airframe furnished 14 to 29 volt, d–c power source.
The ignition system transfers energy to the combustible fuel mixture. Energy is provided in
the form of high temperature–high voltage arcs at the spark igniter gaps. These arcs ignite
the fuel mixture.
The compressor inlet guide vanes and front bearing support hub are the only engine
components with anti–icing provisions. Anti–icing is provided by the use of compressor
discharge air which is taken through a valve on the compressor scroll. The air shut–off valve
is solenoid controlled.
The effect of anti–icing air flow on engine performance is as follows:
*These values are for standard day, sea level conditions and will vary with changes in ambient
temperature and altitude. The effects at lower powers and speeds will be only slightly different
but still immediate and definite.
F. Compressor Bleed Air System
The compressor bleed air system permits rapid engine response. The system consists of a
bleed control valve located on the front face of the scroll and an inducer bleed manifold which
encases the slotted compressor shroud housing.
The bleed control valve is open during starting and ground idle operation, and remains open
until a predetermined pressure ratio is obtained. At the predetermined pressure ratio, the
valve begins to modulate from open to the closed position. (Refer to Figure 7 for compressor
bleed valve operating characteristics.)
The inducer bleed discharges air to atmosphere at engine idle speed. At higher power
settings, flow changes from bleed to intake air.

WARNING: TO PREVENT SERIOUS ENGINE MALFUNCTION OR CRUCIAL LOSS OF
POWER, DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE IN EXCESS OF ANY SPECIFIED
OPERATING LIMIT.
NOTE: Operators may be faced with an engine that meets all specification power requirements in
a certified test cell, but apparently fails to meet minimum installed power required by
aircraft flight manual. Operators should be aware that the FAA requires the Rolls–Royce
AMC’s to deliver only engines of at least “specification horsepower” after complete
engine overhaul.
NOTE: For normal, twin engine operation, N1, N2, MGT, and Engine Torque exceedance of the
limits noted below are to be monitored and recorded by either the aircraft cockpit displays
or the pilot, for engine maintenance purposes. If a discrepency between the aircraft
cockpit displays or the pilot is noted, the indication of an exceedance by the aircraft
cockpit displays is to be used for maintenance purposes. For one engine inoperative
(OEI) events, the ECU is responsible for monitoring and annunciation (PARA 8.B.).
NOTE: With the exception of 2–Minute and 30–Second OEI usage, exceedances of limits noted
below are to be monitored and recorded by the cockpit instrument panel system, for
engine maintenance purposes.
NOTE: Please refer to the Aircraft Manual for other system troubleshooting.

7. Operating Procedures – AUTO MODE
The 250–C40B Series engines have one qualified control system: EMC–35 Full Authority Digital
Electronic Control System, manufactured by the Pump and Engine Control System of the Goodrich
Corporation. The procedures are applicable for both software versions 4.207 and 4.303, unless
otherwise indicated.
The procedures which follow pertain to operation of the engine at: start and ground idle; power
range; practice autorotation; MANUAL MODE training; descent and landing; shutdown; and during
an emergency.
WARNING: NOT ALL ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE MODES ARE ANNUNCIATED TO
THE PILOT VIA THE COCKPIT CAUTION WARNING PANEL. WHEN ABNORMAL
ROTOR AND ENGINE CONTROL OCCURS WITHOUT COCKPIT ANNUNCIATION,
THE PILOT SHOULD TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTION TO AVOID EXCEEDING
LIMITS. NECESSARY ACTIONS INCLUDE SWITCHING TO MANUAL MODE FOR
FAIL FIXED OR RETARDING THE THROTTLE TO INHIBIT ENGINE OVERSPEED
FOR DIRECT REVERSION TO MANUAL.
NOTE: Except as noted in the ECU Fault Code Listing, all ECU Fault Indications require
maintenance action in accordance with the procedures listed in this manual.
A. Preflight Inspections
Before starting the engine, make a preflight inspection. (Refer to Preflight and Postflight
Inspections, Tables 601 and 602, 72–00–00, Engine–Inspection/Check.)
CAUTION: BEFORE THE ENGINE IS OPERATED, MAKE SURE THE COMPRESSOR
INLET IS FREE OF DEBRIS. ALSO, MAKE SURE THE COMPRESSOR
ROTOR IS NOT FROZEN IF THE AIRCRAFT IS IN A FREEZING
ATMOSPHERE.
B. Engine Starting Procedures – AUTO MODE
WARNING: TO ENSURE ADEQUATE WARNING OF POSSIBLE EMERGENCY ENGINE
OPERATING CONDITIONS, VERIFY THAT THE ENGINE WARNING
SYSTEMS (ENGINE–OUT HORN, FILTER BYPASS INDICATION, ECU FAIL
INDICATION, ECU MAINTENANCE ADVISORY INDICATION, OVERSPEED

NOTE: In an acceptable start, light off can occur at speeds up to 15% N1.
The start is considered complete when ground idle is reached. This normally
occurs 25 to 60 seconds after starter engagement. Monitor the MGT; do not
exceed the limits of Table 1. A positive indication of oil pressure must be
obtained by this point in the start. If sufficient oil pressure is not obtained, shut
down the engine and confirm that oil is available at the power and accessory
gearbox inlet.
If a stagnated start is experienced, shut down, then repeat start procedure.
(k) The control system incorporates “Hot Start Abort” logic which will cut off fuel
flow to the fuel nozzle if any of the following conditions occur:
1 Start MGT exceeds 1550°F(843° C) (most operations).
2 Start MGT exceeds 1675°F(913°C) (Altitudes greater than 10,000 ft, or
residual MGT exceeds 180°F (82.2°C) at initiation (5% N1 ) of start
3 Voltage to ECU drops below 10.3 VDC.
4 If a start abort occurs, the pilot should immediately move the throttle to
cutoff and engage the starter motor for 10 seconds to reduce MGT.
(l) ECU FAIL during start is addressed in the following cautions:
CAUTION: IN THE EVENT OF AN ECU FAILURE DURING A START, THE
PILOT SHOULD IMMEDIATELY MOVE THE THROTTLE TO
CUTOFF AND ENGAGE THE STARTER MOTOR FOR 10
SECONDS TO REDUCE MGT.
CAUTION: AN ENGINE FIRE (WITH THE RESULTANT FLAME
EMANATING FROM THE TAILPIPE) CAN OCCUR DURING
START IF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER BECOMES
OVERLOADED WITH FUEL BEFORE IGNITION TAKES PLACE.
TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE, CONTINUE TO MOTOR THE
ENGINE USING THE STARTER, WITH THE THROTTLE FULLY
CLOSED AND THE MAIN FUEL SWITCH OFF. (REFER TO
THE ENGINE STOPPING PROCEDURE FOR THE
RECOMMENDED ACTION IF AN ENGINE FIRE IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING SHUTDOWN.)
CAUTION: MONITOR OIL PRESSURE DURING START. DAMAGE TO
ROTOR BEARINGS CAN RESULT IF A POSITIVE INDICATION
OF OIL PRESSURE IS NOT OBTAINED BY THE TIME IDLE
SPEED IS REACHED.
CAUTION: IF THE N2 TURBINE IS NOT ROTATING BY 25% N1 SPEED,
ABORT THE START BY MOVING THE THROTTLE TO CUTOFF.
A SECOND OR THIRD START ATTEMPT MAY BE MADE; IF
THE CONDITION STILL EXISTS, REFER TO ITEM 4 OF
TROUBLESHOOTING, TABLE 101.
NOTE: If the engine has been shut down for more than 15 minutes, stabilize
at idle speed for one minute before increasing power.

250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: If electrical power drops below 10.3 VDC, the ECU may go off line
and the fuel control system will revert to MANUAL MODE. The ECU
FAIL light and MANUAL MODE light will turn on, the start fuel
solenoid will be de–energized and fuel to the engine will be cutoff.
The pilot should move the throttle to cutoff position and keep the
starter engaged for 10 seconds to reduce MGT. Do not attempt to
start the engine until the electrical power condition has been
corrected.
NOTE: Delayed lightoffs are common after fuel system maintenance. This
delay should be less than five (5) seconds. If the lightoff delay
exceeds five seconds, return the throttle to cutoff, engage the starter
motor and continue to motor the engine with the starter for thirty
seconds to remove excess fuel from the combustion section. Repeat
the start.
(2) Cold Weather Start Procedure
NOTE: For Software Version 4.207 only, starts may be inconsistent for normal starts
or air restarts above 10,000 feet pressure altitude. In–flight relights are not
affected.
Some general practices recommended for improved cold weather operation of the engine
are as follows:
(a) When the aircraft is parked, use appropriate covers over the inlet ducts,
exhaust stacks, etc.
(b) At temperatures below 40°F (4°C), use JP–4 or commercial Jet B fuel if
available. As an alternate, use the AVGAS–jet fuel mixture described in Cold
Weather Fuels, PARA 10.
WARNING: AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES BELOW 10°F (–12°C), SOME TYPE
OF ANTI–ICE PROTECTION IS REQUIRED, SUCH AS AN ANTI–ICE
ADDITIVE OR A MEANS OF AIRFRAME FUEL ICE ELIMINATION.
ENGINE FLAMEOUT COULD RESULT FROM FAILURE TO USE
ANTI–ICE PROTECTION. (REFER TO THE AIRCRAFT MANUAL FOR
AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDATIONS.)
(c) When the aircraft has been cold soaked at temperatures below 40°F (4°C), use
an auxiliary power source for faster, more satisfactory starts (applicable only
when equipment is available and conditions allow).
CAUTION: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME HEATER TO PREHEAT THE ENGINE
OR BATTERY.
(d) If the aircraft has been cold soaked at temperatures below 0°F (–18°C) and a
battery start must be made, preheat the battery, if equipment is available and
conditions allow.
(e) If the aircraft has been cold soaked and a battery start must be made without
preheating the battery, remove and store the battery until it is required, if
conditions allow. Store the battery in an area where it can be maintained or
warmed to a temperature above ambient outside conditions, or to
approximately 70°F (21°C).

EXPORT CONTROLLED Rolls–Royce
250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Due to the variation in jet fuels available for commercial operation, in
cold weather the engine may experience a short delay before lightoff
after 12% N1 speed for ambient temperatures greater than 80°F
(26.7°C), or 10% for ambient temperatures of 80_F (26.7_C) or less,
has been achieved. This delay should be less than five seconds,
regardless of the type of fuel used. If the lightoff delay exceeds five
seconds, return the throttle to cutoff and continue to motor the engine
with the starter for thirty seconds to remove excess fuel from the
combustion section.
C. Power Range – AUTO MODE
WARNING: NOT ALL ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE MODES ARE
ANNUNCIATED TO THE PILOT VIA THE COCKPIT CAUTION WARNING
PANEL. WHEN ABNORMAL ROTOR AND ENGINE CONTROL OCCURS
WITHOUT COCKPIT ANNUNCIATION, THE PILOT SHOULD TAKE THE
NECESSARY ACTION TO AVOID EXCEEDING LIMITS. NECESSARY
ACTIONS INCLUDE SWITCHING TO MANUAL MODE FOR FAIL FIXED OR
RETARDING THE THROTTLE TO INHIBIT ENGINE OVERSPEED FOR
DIRECT REVERSION TO MANUAL.
WARNING: ENGAGING THE MANUAL MODE AT ANY POWER SETTING ABOVE
GROUND IDLE WILL RESULT IN A CHANGE IN ENGINE POWER. WHEN
THE FUEL CONTROL REVERTS TO MANUAL MODE, THE ENGINE POWER
OUTPUT WILL CHANGE AS THE HYDRAULIC PISTONS ADJUST THE FUEL
FLOW TO THE RATE COMMANDED BY THE THROTTLE.
CAUTION: IF THE THROTTLE IS NOT PROPERLY POSITIONED IN THE REQUIRED
FLY POSITION DURING NORMAL FLIGHT OPERATIONS, AVAILABLE
ENGINE POWER MAY BE LIMITED.
NOTE: Cycling the Auto/Manual Switch from Auto to Manual to Auto (Power ON Reset) in
an attempt to clear a fault while the engine is running is not recommended for the
ECU DEGRADE indication. At the operator’s option, cycling the Auto to Manual to
Auto (Power ON Reset) for an ECU FAIL indication is allowed, in an attempt to
allow AUTO Mode operation. If the Power ON Reset is successful, land as soon as
practical.
(1) Manual Mode Check:
With the throttle in IDLE, select MANUAL mode. Engine idle speed may change slightly
depending on ambient conditions. Slowly advance throttle to verify engine acceleration
and control in manual mode. Return the throttle to idle and select AUTO mode.
CAUTION: THE ECU WILL PREVENT EXCEEDANCES OF THE 30 SECOND
LIMITS GIVEN IN TABLENO TAG. RAISING THE COLLECTIVE PITCH
TO DEMAND POWER ABOVE THE 30 SECOND LIMIT WILL RESULT
IN A N2/NR DROOP.
(2) Auto Mode:
During operation in the power range, place the throttle in the FLY position and utilize
engine power with the collective pitch. Vary the collective pitch as required for the flight
condition. The ECU will govern at the Nr value selected while minimizing N2/Nr droops
and overshoots as power demand changes. The ECU will monitor and prevent
exceedances of the 30 second OEI limits for MGT and N1 rpm. The ECU will prevent
exceedances of the single engine 30 Second OEI torque limit for all AUTO mode
operation. If EMERGENCY POWER is not enabled, the ECU will also prevent
exceedances of the twin engine aircraft torque limit.

(c) When the AUTO/MANUAL select switch is first placed in MANUAL MODE,
there will be a time delay while the MANUAL system engages, before the
engine will respond to throttle inputs. The length of the delay depends upon
current engine power and the new throttle position. The delay is summarized
below:
(d) After the manual system is engaged, the engine will respond to throttle inputs
with no time delay. See paragraph 9 for a full description of MANUAL MODE
operation.
NOTE: In MANUAL MODE, the rate at which the engine power will increase
or decrease in response to rapid throttle movements is mechanically
limited by the slew rate of the manual piston. This damping is
required to prevent engine surge or flameout while in the MANUAL
MODE.
(2) ECU DEGRADE Indication – This indication will turn ON to indicate either that the
AUTO MODE is degraded due to a failure, or to indicate that maintenance action is
required. The meaning of the light is dependent upon the position of the throttle.
(a) An ECU DEGRADE indication with the throttle in the CUTOFF position
indicates that one or more faults has been logged by the ECU. Depending on
the type of fault logged, maintenance action may be required prior to starting
the engine. Refer to chapter 77–50–00 ‘‘FADEC FAULT CODES”, to determine
the meaning of the fault.
(b) An ECU DEGRADE indication with the throttle out of the CUTOFF position
indicates that the AUTO control mode is degraded. Refer to chapter 77–50–00,
‘‘FADEC FAULT CODES” to ascertain which AUTO MODE function is not
available. Changes in engine power should be carefully monitored to prevent
possible exceedances. Engine start or aircraft dispatch in this mode is not
allowed.

EXPORT CONTROLLED Rolls–Royce
250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
(3) ENGINE OUT indication – This indication will be sent to the aircraft when the ECU
detects an engine condition that prevents sufficient power output.
The ENGINE OUT signal is sent to the aircraft when at least one of the following is true:
– The N1 turbine speed has gone sub–idle (i.e. N1 < 55%) after a successful start
– The N2 turbine is overspeeding (i.e. N2 > 116%) and the ECU has cut off fuel flow to
the engine in response to the overspeed
– A shaft failure has been detected, putting the engine at risk of overspeeding
– A flameout has been detected and a relight has not occurred
Upon sensing a flameout, the ECU will automatically attempt to relight the engine, as
described in paragraph 7.E. When the relight is detected, the ENGINE OUT signal will
no longer be sent to the aircraft, and the engine will smoothly accelerate back to the
command operating condition.
If the ECU has not successfully relight the engine within 60 seconds, the engine throttle
should be returned to CUTOFF and the engine shut down. If it is desirable to continue the
restart attempt, follow the restart procedure of paragraph 7.G.2.
(4) OVERSPEED indication – This indication will turn ON when N1 or N2 has exceeded
the normal operating limits and the ECU has cut off fuel flow to the engine in response
to the overspeed.
(a) When the ECU detects that N1 or N2 has exceeded its normal operating limit,
the OVERSPEED indication turns on and the ECU activates the overspeed
solenoid to cut off fuel flow to the engine.
(b) When N1 or N2 returns to its normal operating range, the ECU will turn off the
OVERSPEED indication and attempt to relight the engine and accelerate it
back to its commanded operating condition.
(c) If a mechanical failure is suspected, move the throttle position to CUTOFF to
shut the engine down.
NOTE: N2 Overspeed Protection is operational in Auto and Manual Modes.
N1 Overspeed Protection is operational in Auto Mode, and in Manual
Mode if the ECU is operational.
I. Nr Speed Beeper – AUTO MODE
The ECU is equipped with a beeper function that allows Nr speed to be increased or
decreased by the pilot.
(1) Move and hold the beeper up/down switch to the desired position. Rotor speed will
change at a nominal rate of +/– 1%/sec. Release the beeper when desired Nr speed is
reached. Beeper limits are set to 97 – 105% Nr.
NOTE: The Nr reference speed is reset to 100% when the engine is shut down or
the ECU power is turned off.
J. Anti–icing Air
Use anti–icing air when any of the following conditions are encountered:
(1) Consult the aircraft operating manual for the outside air temperature (OAT) at which
anti–icing air should be used. If the aircraft manual does not provide this temperature,
use anti–icing air when flying into visible moisture at an OAT below 5°C (40°F).
(2) During the drying run following compressor rinse or wash operations. (Refer to
Compressor Cleaning, paragraph 4., 72–30–00.)

(3) Every 25 flight hours during warm weather aircraft operation. Activation of anti–ice air
for 1–2 minutes every 25 hours purges dirt and debris from the anti–ice air passages of
the compressor front support.
K. MANUAL MODE Training
The following procedures apply to the use of MANUAL MODE for the purpose of pilot training
during ground idle, power range, descent and landing:
(1) AUTO MODE to MANUAL MODE transition
(a) With the throttle in the ground IDLE position, and with engine power demand
stable, place the AUTO/MANUAL select switch in the MANUAL position. The
MANUAL MODE light will turn ON.
NOTE: There will be a minimal power change if MANUAL MODE is engaged
while the throttle is in the ground idle position.
or
(b) With the throttle in the FLY position, and with engine power demand stable, roll
off the throttle until a slight N2 decay occurs (this sets the PLA at the desired
power condition). Place the AUTO/MANUAL switch in the MANUAL position.
The MANUAL MODE light will turn on.
WARNING: ENGAGING THE MANUAL MODE AT ANY POWER SETTING
ABOVE GROUND IDLE WILL RESULT IN A CHANGE IN
ENGINE POWER. WHEN THE FUEL CONTROL REVERTS TO
MANUAL MODE, THE ENGINE POWER OUTPUT WILL
CHANGE AS THE HYDRAULIC PISTONS ADJUST THE FUEL
FLOW TO THE RATE COMMANDED BY THE THROTTLE.
CAUTION: ONCE MANUAL MODE IS ENGAGED, ALTHOUGH ENGINE
THAT REMAINS IN AUTO MODE WILL ADJUST POWER TO
MAINTAIN ROTOR SPEED, THE PILOT SHOULD MODULATE
THROTTLE ON THE ENGINE IN MANUAL MODE TO MAINTAIN
ROTOR SPEED AND THE ENGINE OPERATION WITHIN
SPECIFIED LIMITS.
(c) When the AUTO/MANUAL select switch is first placed in MANUAL MODE,
there will be a time delay while the manual system engages before the engine
will respond to throttle inputs. The length of this delay depends on current
engine power and the new throttle position. The delay is summarized below.

(2) Maintain the engine at ground idle for a minimum of two (2) minutes prior to shutdown.
NOTE: MGT at ground idle may be higher than those experienced at higher throttle
settings.
(3) Ensure that the collective pitch is below 10%, PLA is 40° or less, N1 is 60 –66% and
N2 is less than 75%.
(4) Press and hold the overspeed test button for a duration of a least 0.5 seconds, but less
than 5.0 seconds. The test occurs when the switch is released. This will test the
overspeed system by energizing the overspeed solenoid.
(5) If the test is successful, the engine will flame out. Move the throttle to the CUT OFF
position. If the test is unsuccessful, the engine will continue to operate at idle power,
the FADEC DEGRADE indication will appear, and the pilot must perform a normal
shutdown, as described in the following section of this procedure.
(6) Turn off all engine switches.
CAUTION: AN ENGINE FIRE (RECOGNIZED BY A RAPID INCREASE IN MGT) CAN
OCCUR DURING SHUTDOWN IF FUEL CUTOFF IS NOT COMPLETE. IF A
SHUTDOWN FIRE OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY ENGAGE THE STARTER, AND
MOTOR THE ENGINE TO MINIMIZE THE TEMPERATURE ENCOUNTERED.
TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE, CONTINUE TO MOTOR THE ENGINE, USING
THE STARTER, WITH THE THROTTLE FULLY CLOSED AND THE MAIN
FUEL SWITCH OFF. THE TEMPERATURE LIMITATIONS AND
MAINTENANCE ACTION IN TABLE 1 MUST BE OBSERVED.
(7) Monitor instrumentation to ensure that shutdown has occurred. To assure fuel cutoff,
keep the throttle in CUTOFF until N1 speed is zero and MGT has stabilized.
N. Normal Shutdown – AUTO MODE
WARNING: OVERTEMPERATURE STARTS OR AFTERFIRES AFTER SHUTDOWN WILL
CAUSE CRACKS IN THE FIRST–STAGE WHEEL RIM. THESE CRACKS
CAN EVENTUALLY CAUSE A SECTION OF THE WHEEL TO BREAK OFF,
CAUSING TURBINE IMBALANCE AND ENGINE FAILURE.
CAUTION: FOR THE ULTIMATE SAFETY OF ALL PERSONNEL WHO COME IN CLOSE
PROXIMITY WITH THE ENGINE, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PILOT
AND MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL TO RECORD AND TAKE
RECOMMENDED CORRECTIVE ACTION WHEN OVERTEMPERATURE
OCCURS.
NOTE: Engine Shutdown with the twist grip (‘‘Normal Shutdown”) should be completed at
least once per 50 flight hours.
Shut down the engine as follows:
(1) Position the throttle to the IDLE position.
WARNING: IDLE DWELL TIME PRIOR TO SHUTDOWN IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT
HARMFUL ACCUMULATION OF CARBON IN THE ENGINE, WHICH CAN
RESULT IN ENGINE FAILURE.
(2) Maintain the engine at ground idle for a minimum of two (2) minutes prior to shutdown.
NOTE: MGT at ground idle may be higher than those experienced at higher throttle
settings.
(3) Position throttle to CUTOFF.
(4) Turn off all engine switches.

B. OEI Operation
(1) 2 Minute OEI Operation
When collective pitch is increased and the engine power exceeds the 30 Minute OEI limit,
the ECU will start a timer. If the engine power remains above the 30 Minute OEI limit longer
than 2.5 Minutes, a cockpit indicator will illuminate to identify that 2 Minute OEI time has
been exceeded and that engine power should be reduced. If the engine power remains
above the 30 Minute OEI limit longer than 3.0 Minutes, a 2.0 Minute event time excessive
flag will be set in memory. This timer will be stopped and reset when engine power is
reduced below the 30 Minute OEI limit.
NOTE: The control system limits only to 30 Second OEI MGT, 30 Second OEI
Torque for all AUTO MODE operation. If EMERGENCY POWER is not
enabled, the ECU will also prevent exceedances of the twin engine aircraft
torque limit. Pilot monitoring to prevent exceedances into the OEI range
during normal operation is required.
CAUTION: THE ECU WILL PREVENT EXCEEDANCES OF THE 30 SECOND LIMITS
GIVEN IN TABLE 1. RAISING THE COLLECTIVE PITCH TO DEMAND
POWER ABOVE THE 30 SECOND LIMIT WILL RESULT IN A N2/NR DROOP.
(2) 30 Second OEI Operation
When collective pitch is increased and the engine power exceeds 2 Minute limits, the ECU
will start a second timer. If the engine power remains above the 2 Minute limits longer than
30 Seconds, a cockpit indicator will illuminate to identify that 30 Second OEI time has been
exceeded and engine power should be reduced. If the engine power remains above 2.0
Minute OEI limits longer than 45 Seconds, a 30 Second OEI event time excessive flag will
be set in memory. This timer will be stopped and reset when engine power is reduced
below 2.0 Minute limits.
(3) The engine power should be stabilized below the 30 Minute OEI limits as soon as
possible.
(4) Continue flight and land as soon as practical.
(5) After the engine has been shut down and the throttle positioned in CUTOFF, the 2
Minute OEI and 30 Second OEI lights will turn ON to indicate that the respective OEI
power was used during the flight.
(6) Upon completion of flight, maintenance action may be required in accordance with
published instructions. (See 72–00–00, Section 6, ‘‘Operating Limits”, PARA F and G.)
9. Operating Procedures – MANUAL MODE
The procedures which follow pertain to operation of the engine in MANUAL MODE during training
or during an emergency with an ECU failure indication or on FAA approved ferry flights. Operation
with the MANUAL MODE control is indicated by the MANUAL MODE cockpit indication being ON.
A. Preflight Inspections
Before starting the engine, make a preflight inspection. (Refer to Preflight and Postflight
Inspections, Tables 601 and 602, 72–00–00, Engine–Inspection/Check.)
WARNING: OPERATION OF THE ENGINE IN MANUAL MODE IS RESTRICTED. DO
NOT DISPATCH WITH ENGINE IN MANUAL MODE. IN CASE OF A
REVERSION TO MANUAL MODE OPERATION IN FLIGHT, CONTINUE
FLIGHT AND LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICAL.

If the start is aborted, turn the throttle to CUTOFF and motor the engine for 10
seconds without ignition.
NOTE: If a stagnated start is experienced, shut down, then repeat start
procedure.
(i) An aircraft system will de–energize the starter and ignition when N1 exceeds
56% speed. The start is completed when a stabilized N1 speed of 65–70% is
reached. A positive indication of oil pressure must be obtained by this point in
the start. Completion for the start normally occurs 25 to 60 seconds after
starter engagement. Monitor the MGT; do not exceed the limits of Table 1. If
sufficient oil pressure is not obtained, shut down the engine and confirm that oil
is available at the power and accessory gearbox inlet
CAUTION: AN ENGINE FIRE (WITH THE RESULTANT FLAME
EMANATING FROM THE TAILPIPE) CAN OCCUR DURING
START IF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER BECOMES
OVERLOADED WITH FUEL BEFORE IGNITION TAKES PLACE.
TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE, CONTINUE TO MOTOR THE
ENGINE, USING THE STARTER, WITH THE THROTTLE FULLY
CLOSED AND THE MAIN FUEL SWITCH OFF. (REFER TO
THE ENGINE STOPPING PROCEDURE FOR THE
RECOMMENDED ACTION IF AN ENGINE FIRE IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING SHUTDOWN.)
CAUTION: MONITOR OIL PRESSURE DURING START. DAMAGE TO

If it appears that an overtemperature will occur during the start, position the
throttle to CUTOFF and motor the engine without ignition for ten seconds.
Then repeat the start.
If the start is aborted, turn the throttle to CUTOFF and motor the engine for 10
seconds without ignition.
NOTE: If a stagnated start is experienced, shut down, then repeat start
procedure.
C. Power Range – MANUAL MODE
CAUTION: IN MANUAL MODE IT IS THE PILOT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO MONITOR
ENGINE POWER OUTPUT AND VARY THE THROTTLE POSITION TO
AVOID EXCEEDING THE MGT LIMITS GIVEN IN TABLE 1, THE TORQUE
LIMITS GIVEN IN TABLE 5, OR THE N2 SPEED LIMIT GIVEN IN FIGURE 7.
(1) In MANUAL MODE, the engine power output is controlled by the throttle position.
Movement of the throttle towards the MAX position will increase engine power while
reducing the throttle towards IDLE will reduce engine power. Maintaining constant
N2/Nr speed is achieved by coordinated movement of the engine throttle and collective
pitch.
NOTE: If the other engine is operating in AUTO MODE, it will attempt to maintain Nr
speed; therefore, changes to the power setting of the engine operating in
MANUAL MODE may be required only for changes in flight condition
necessitating large changes in engine power.

(2) The rate at which the engine power will increase or decrease in response to rapid
throttle movements is mechanically limited by the slew rate of the manual piston. This
control is required to prevent engine surge or flameout while in MANUAL MODE.
When operating in MANUAL MODE, throttle movements should be made in a smooth
manner to ensure proper response to throttle position changes.
(3) Rolls–Royce recommends that the ignition exciter be operating continuously when in
MANUAL MODE, since the auto relight feature does not function in MANUAL MODE.

G. Air Restart – MANUAL MODE
The following air start procedure applies to a MANUAL MODE start made during an inflight
emergency.
CAUTION: IF ENGINE MECHANICAL FAILURE IS SUSPECTED, AN AIR RESTART
SHOULD NOT BE ATTEMPTED.
(1) Emergency Air Restart – MANUAL MODE
(a) Position the throttle at CUTOFF
(b) Press and hold the starter engage button to latch the starter motor
(c) When the desired N1 cranking speed of 12––15% is reached, slowly advanced
the throttle towards idle until the engine lights off. Light off is evidenced by
combustion noise and/or by an increase in MGT. Once MGT peaks, begin
advancing the throttle toward the IDLE position and modulating fuel flow with
the throttle to accelerate N1 while maintaining an MGT of 282––371°C
(540––700°F).
CAUTION: DUE TO THERMAL CHANGES WITHIN THE TURBINE, THE GAS
PRODUCER SECTION OF THE ENGINE MAY LOCK UP AFTER AN
INFLIGHT SHUTDOWN. THIS IS A TEMPORARY CONDITION,
WHICH EXISTS AFTER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN FOR
APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE, AND WHICH MAY CONTINUE FOR
UP TO TEN MINUTES FOLLOWING THE SHUTDOWN. THEREFORE,
EXCEPT DURING AN EMERGENCY, AIR STARTS SHOULD NOT BE
ATTEMPTED DURING THE TIME PERIOD BETWEEN ONE MINUTE
AFTER SHUTDOWN AND TEN MINUTES AFTER SHUTDOWN.
(2) Air Restart – MANUAL MODE
NOTE: For Software Version 4.207 only, starts may be inconsistent for normal starts
or air restarts above 10,000 feet pressure altitude. In–flight relights are not
affected.

10. Cold Weather Fuels
WARNING: ENGINE FLAMEOUT COULD RESULT FROM FAILURE TO USE ANTI–ICE
PROTECTION SUCH AS ANTI–ICE FUEL ADDITIVE (PRIST) OR A MEANS OF
AIRFRAME FUEL ICE ELIMINATION. FOR ENGINES EQUIPPED WITH A
COMBINED ENGINE FILTER ASSEMBLY (CEFA), ANTI–ICE PROTECTION IS
REQUIRED BELOW–12°C (10°F). REFER TO THE AIRCRAFT MANUAL FOR
AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDATIONS.
The fuels recommended for consistent cold weather starting, 4°C (+40°F) and below, are as
follows:
JP–4 (MIL–T–5624)
Jet B (ASTM D–1655)
CAUTION: JP–4 OR COMMERCIAL JET B FUEL MUST NOT BE MIXED WITH AVGAS.
AVGAS/Jet A, Jet A1, or JP–5 or JP–8 (MIL–T–83133A). This mixture is an alternate fuel.
Commercial jet fuels meeting ASTM: D–1655 Jet A, Jet A1 standards are generally referred
to as Aviation Kerosene, JP–5, and Commercial Jet A fuel.

NOTE: Jet A, Jet A1, JP–5, or JP–8 may start the engine at temperatures below 4°C
(40°F); however, when cold soaked, marginal starts may result due to viscosity
changes.
NOTE: The engine will operate satisfactorily on JP–5, JP–8, Jet A, and Jet A1 at fuel at
outside air temperatures down to –32°C (–25°F).
NOTE: Grade JP–4 (MIL–T–5624), Grade JP–5, and Grade JP–8 (MIL–T–83133A, or
later) type fuels contain anti–ice additive which conforms to MIL–1–27686 (or later).
These fuels do not require additional anti–ice additive unless specified by the
airframe manufacturer.
A. Mixing Alternate Cold Weather Fuel
CAUTION: THE ALTERNATE COLD WEATHER FUEL MIXTURE SHALL CONSIST OF
ONE PART BY VOLUME AVGAS AND TWO PARTS BY VOLUME
COMMERCIAL JET FUEL. THE AVGAS SHALL CONFORM TO
MIL–G–5572C, GRADE 80/87, OR GRADE 100/130 WITH 2.0 ML/U.S. GAL
MAX LEAD CONTENT. DO NOT USE GRADE 100/130 WITH 4.6 ML/U.S.
GAL LEAD CONTENT. (THE 2.0 ML/U.S. GAL LEAD, GRADE 100/130,
AVGAS IS KNOWN AS 100L AVGAS IN EUROPEAN AREAS.) THE
COMMERCIAL JET FUEL MAY BE KEROSENE, JP–5, OR COMMERCIAL
JET A CONFORMING TO MIL–T–5624, GRADE JP–5 OR ASTM D1655, JP–8
CONFORMING TO MIL–T–83133A, JET A OR A1.
CAUTION: THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT FOR ENGINE OPERATION USING THE
AVGAS–JET FUEL MIXTURE AS LONG AS 80/87 GRADE AVGAS IS USED
AND THE 1–2 VOLUME RATIO IS OBSERVED. USE OF 100/130 (100L)
GRADE AVGAS–JET FUEL MIXTURE SHALL BE RESTRICTED TO 300
HOURS IN ONE OVERHAUL PERIOD, DUE TO THE HIGH LEAD CONTENT
OF THE FUEL.
CAUTION: WHEN MIXING THE FUELS, AVOID HIGH FLOW RATES. DO NOT EXCEED
A FLOW RATE OF 50 GALLONS (189 LITERS) PER MINUTE. ALSO, MAKE
SURE THE FUEL NOZZLE AND FUEL TANK ARE GROUNDED TO THE
AIRCRAFT.
(1) Make the fuel mix in the aircraft tank. The AVGAS can be added before or after the jet
fuel; the only restriction is that the final mix (including fuel in the tank before starting
the mix) be two parts by volume jet fuel to one part by volume AVGAS.
NOTE: Anti–ice additive is needed for the jet fuel–AVGAS fuel mixture unless
qualified as in para 10., Cold Weather Fuels. (Refer to Specifications, para
4, this section.)
(2) The alternate fuel mixture is not recommended for warm weather operation. It is
recommended only when the ambient temperature is below 4°C (40°F).
NOTE: Prolonged and uninterrupted operation with only AVGAS mixture will induce
lead buildup on turbine parts. This lead buildup can cause a gradual power
reduction; consequently, this AVGAS mixture should be used only for cold
weather operation. During operation with normal Jet A type turbine fuel, the
lead buildup will slowly dissipate.
WARNING: HANDLING LEAD RESIDUE COATED PARTS BY PERSONS WITH OPEN
CUTS OR SCRATCHES ON THEIR HANDS CAN BE EXTREMELY
DANGEROUS. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES WHEN CHECKING RESIDUE
COATED TURBINE OR EXHAUST PARTS.

(3) When the AVGAS–jet fuel mixture is used in the engine, the lead from the gasoline
accumulates on the turbine and exhaust collector outlet ducts. The normal
appearance after operation on leaded fuel is a pale yellow powder deposit on the
exhaust surfaces.
B. In order to obtain a lightoff when the alternate fuel mixture is made in the fuel tank, it may be
necessary to preheat the engine or bleed the unmixed fuel.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME HEATER TO PREHEAT THE ENGINE.
(1) Preheat the engine in the area of the HMU.
CAUTION: POST FIRE PROTECTION BEFORE OPENING THE FUEL LINE.
(2) Bleed the unmixed fuel from the system as follows:
(a) Deactivate the igniter circuit breaker.
WARNING: BE AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD OF FUEL IN AN
OPEN CONTAINER.
(b) Disconnect the fuel line at the fuel injector.
(c) Place the fuel line in a container. Observe caution to keep contaminants from
entering the exposed fuel passage.
(d) Add an external aircraft boost pump to the system. Open the throttle. Continue
the flow from the fuel line until the unmixed fuel has drained and the AVGAS
mixture appears. The AVGAS mixture can be visually detected because it is
light pink in color.
(e) Close the throttle. Remove the external boost pump. Reconnect the fuel line to
the fuel injector. Tighten the coupling nut to 80–120 lb in. (9.0–13.6 N.m).
(f) Reactivate the igniter circuit.
11. Cold Weather Oils
If ambient temperatures are below –40°C (–40°F), and MIL–PRF–23699 oils are not available, use
MIL–PRF–7808 oils.
12. Time Between Overhaul (TBO) (See Table 6)
The Model 250 engine originally was designed to permit modular overhaul. The major components
of the engine are the compressor, gearbox, and turbine. A premature removal of any of these
modules should not cause removal of the other modules unless secondary damage has occurred.
A. For operators who do not wish to utilize the modular overhaul concept, Rolls–Royce
recommends a time between overhaul of 1750 hours for 250–C40B Series engines.
However, it is possible that the allowable cycle life limit of certain rotating parts specified in
Chapter 05–10–01 through 05–10–05 may be exceeded before the 1750 hour TBO. It is,
therefore, the operator’s responsibility to ensure that neither the total time limit nor cycle life
limit of these parts is exceeded.
B. For operators who wish to utilize modular overhaul, Rolls–Royce recommends time between
overhauls as listed in Table 6. However, it is possible that the allowable cycle life limit of
certain parts specified in Chapter 05–10–01 through 05–10–05 may be exceeded before the
recommended TBO. Therefore, the operator must ensure that neither the total time limit nor
cycle life limit of these parts is exceeded.

Third–Stage Wheel P/N 6898663 6000 cycles
Fourth–Stage Wheel P/N 6892764 6000 cycles
(e) Since the first and second stage wheels have the lowest cycle count remaining
of the cycle limited parts listed in paragraph (c), these are the cycles that must
be added to the present turbine cycle count. Add the cycles remaining on the
first – or second stage wheel (3000 cycles) to the turbine cycle count (2000
cycles) and enter 5000 in the ‘‘Cycle Limit” block (3000 + 2000 = 5000).
(2) TURBINE REMOVAL
Given: Turbine cycle count: 4650 cycles.
(a) Record the date, turbine total time, and the total engine ‘‘Cycles at Removal” in
the appropriate blocks in the ‘‘Removed” section of the Part VI Log Book page.
(b) Record the turbine cycle count (4650 cycles) in the ‘‘Current Cycles” block
under ‘‘Cycle Count” in the ‘‘Removed” section.
(c) Carry the cycle limit of the turbine forward to the ‘‘Cycle Limit” block in the
‘‘Removed” section.
In this example, the turbine has accumulated 2650 cycles during this installation (4650 –
2000 = 2650). There are 350 cycles (5000 – 4650 = 350) remaining on the turbine before
it must be disassembled for replacement of the first and second stage wheels.

E. The following example illustrates the method for documenting a compressor installation and
removal in Part VI of the Log Book, as governed by cycle or time limited parts. Refer to
Figure 16 for sample Log Book page with entries.
(1) COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION
Given: Compressor cycle count: 7525 cycles.
(a) Record the aircraft serial number, engine serial number, date, compressor total
time, and engine cycles at installation in the appropriate blocks in the ‘‘Installed”
section.
(b) Record the compressor cycle count (7525 cycles) in the ‘‘Current Cycles” block
under ‘‘Cycle Count” in the ‘‘Installed” section of the Part VI Log Book page.
(c) Refer to Log Book Part V Assembly Record – Compressor Assembly (blue
pages) to review current number of cycles on life limited parts. In this example,
review reveals the following:
Impeller P/N 23064613 4475 cycles
(d) Determine maximum cycles allowed on life limited parts. (Refer to chapter
05–10–00)
Impeller P/N 23064613 15,000 cycles
(e) Subtract current cycles on the impeller (paragraph (c), 4475 cycles) from
maximum cycles allowed (paragraph (d)) and determine the number of cycles
remaining on the impeller (15,000 – 4475 = 10,525 cycles).
(f) Add the cycles remaining on the impeller (10,525 cycles) to the given cycle
count of the compressor (7525 cycles). The total equals 18,050 cycles.
Record this figure in the ‘‘Cycle Limit” block. When the compressor cycle count
reaches 18,050 cycles, it must be torn down for replacement of the impeller.
(2) COMPRESSOR REMOVAL
Given: compressor cycle count: 14,050 cycles.
(a) Record the date, compressor total time, and the total engine ‘‘Cycles at
Removal” in the appropriate blocks in the ‘‘Removed” section of the part VI Log
Book page.
(b) Record the compressor cycle count (14,050 cycles) in the ‘‘Current Cycles”
block under ‘‘Cycle Count” in the ‘‘Removed” section.
(c) Carry the cycle limit of the compressor (18,050) forward to the ‘‘Cycle Limit”
block in the ‘‘Removed” section.
In this example, the compressor has accumulated 6,525 cycles (14,050 – 7525 = 6,525)
during this installation. There are 4000 cycles (18,050 – 14,050 = 4000) remaining on
the compressor before it must be disassembled for replacement of the impeller.

(5) Engine components which are in the process of failing can also appear as short term
degradation. When engine performance degrades over a short period of time, and
rinsing or washing the engine doesn’t recover the performance loss, a component
failure or misadjustment should be investigated and corrected. Following maintenance
it would be normal to expect that trend line power would be recovered. This type of
component failure or loss of adjustment could appear as in Figure 20.
(6) Figures 17 through 20 represent some of the typical data plots that can result when
attempting to analyze trend data. There are numerous combinations of these graphs
that when properly analyzed can provide the operator useful information to determine
that maintenance is, or will soon be, required. However, interpreting the data is not
always a straightforward process. There are a number of factors that occur to confuse
or mask both normal and abnormal readings.
WARNING: DO NOT EXCEED SPECIFIED AIRCRAFT OR ENGINE LIMITATIONS
DURING PERFORMANCE OF THIS CHECK.
(7) Data scatter and pilot procedure can be a common source of inaccuracy in the trend
procedure. This inaccuracy can result from the normal instrumentation error caused
by allowable inaccuracy/ readability or omission/change of a trend check procedure
step. Following the daily flight trend check, the recorded data should be corrected and
plotted. When the corrected MGT readings are more than plus or minus 20°C from the
existing trend line, maintenance personnel should make sure no obvious failures have
occurred before repeating the trend check to determine whether the variation was due
to data scatter or pilot procedure. If, upon repeating the trend check, the newly plotted
data returns to within plus or minus 20°C from the existing trend line without further
action by the pilot or maintenance personnel, the problem was probably due to data
scatter. Neither the aircraft nor engine should have to be operated beyond established
limitations to perform the trend check procedure. If aircraft or engine limitations are
encountered during performance of the trend check procedure, it is an indication that
the check has either been improperly performed or that there is an aircraft or engine
problem.
NOTE: Prior to initiating a trend check program, operators should assure that the
aircraft instrumentation is properly calibrated.

(8) If repeated checks continue to give corrected plotted readings in excess of plus or
minus 20°C corrected MGT change from the existing trend line, the cause can also be
due to pilot procedure. Each step of the procedure should be reviewed to assure that
all switches were properly positioned and instruments were read correctly. One of the
most common causes for inaccuracy is leaving the anti–ice, bleed air heater,
environmental control unit, air particle separator or other engine air–operated
component turned on during the check. Also be sure to allow the engine at least 1
minute to stabilize prior to taking any readings. If the procedure was performed
correctly, and the plus or minus 20°C corrected MGT change continues to result, then
an aircraft or engine problem should be investigated.
(9) To assure accurate trend checks, the aircraft configuration must remain the same
during the first and each subsequent check. For example, some aircraft have bleed air
operated components, such as pumps or air particle separators, that cannot be turned
off. Since each trend check would be made with these systems operational, it will
have no visible effect on the trended data. Additionally, if an engine operated
subsystem was usually required for safe flight during the period the trend check was
normally performed, the first and each subsequent check should be performed with
that system operational. For example, in some areas of the world, engine anti–ice is
frequently required for normal operation and should therefore be operated during each
trend check. Furthermore, when a new or overhauled engine, or an aircraft or engine
component that may affect performance is installed, a new baseline trend must be
established. For example, the installation or removal of a barrier filter or reverse inlets
for flight in snow affects engine performance and will cause a new trend line to be
established. A change in the trend line could appear as in Figure 21.
B. Example
(1) This example is provided to illustrate data tabulation, correction and graphing.
(a) Aircraft flight condition: 2000 feet pressure altitude, 20°C outside air
temperature, 100 knots airspeed with the following engine instrument
indications: N1 = 92%, N2 = 100%, Torque = 80%, MGT = 640°C, Oil Pressure
= 110 psig, Oil Temperature = 95°C.
(b) The maintenance or operations section shall record aircraft S/N, engine S/N,
date and engine time on the 250 Trend Check Record. (See Figure 22.)
(c) After departure, the pilot notes the correct altimeter reading, sets the altimeter
to 29.92 in. Hg, and continues to climb the aircraft to 2000 ft pressure altitude.
NOTE: Any 1,000 foot increment in pressure altitude up to 10,000 feet can be
selected for the check. However, data reduction is simplified when
the same pressure altitude is used for each subsequent check.

NOTE: Any baseline torque that provided an indicated N1 speed greater than
90% can be utilized. The indicated torque setting required will be
obtained from the torque correction chart by entering the chosen
baseline torque and pressure altitude to be flown.
If the pilot cannot utilize the same baseline pressure altitude for each
trend check, the trend procedure must be modified. The use of a
nonstandard altitude described in step (h) will allow the pilot to
perform the trend check at various altitudes.
(d) The pilot now adjusts the engine power for cruise flight at 80% torque, checks
that the N1 is above 90% and waits for one minute to allow the engine to
stabilize. The pilot now records PA = 2000 ft., TOR = 80%, OAT + 20°C, N1 =
92% and MGT = 640°C on the 250 Trend Check Record. (See Figure 24.)
Since light to moderate turbulence was experienced throughout the procedure,
the pilot has noted “turbulence” in the remarks block to indicate that the data
might be affected. The pilot then resets the altimeter to the correct reading.
(e) Following flight, the recorded data can be corrected and trended. The baseline
parameters for the graphed data are 2,000 feet pressure altitude and 80%
indicated torque. After determining that these baseline parameters have been
used, the resulting data can be corrected and graphed. Using Figure 24,
determine the corrected N1 speed value. Find the indicated OAT on the left
vertical scale and the indicated N1 speed on the top horizontal scale. Moving
right and down, you will intersect at the corrected N1 speed of 91%. Graph this
speed as indicated in Figure 25.

(f) Using Figure 26, determine the corrected MGT. Find the indicated OAT on the
left vertical scale and indicated MGT on the top horizontal scale. Moving right
and down, you will intersect at the corrected MGT value of 624°C. For
indicated MGT values over 650°C, consult the second page of Table 10. Graph
these data as indicated in Figure 25.
(g) It should be noted that the data graphed in Figure 25 cannot always be directly
compared to the background data depicted in Figures 17 through 21. The
background data are for illustration purpose only, to show long term
degradation of a typical engine. Actual graphed N1 and MGT data can vary
from the example. The important thing to remember is that the overall trend
should be gradual. Step changes in the trend are significant, and their causes
should be determined.

(h) If a baseline pressure altitude for performing the daily trend check procedure
cannot be established, the check can still be completed by correcting the torque
input value to sea level conditions prior to performing the check. (See Figure
27.) For example, if flight clearance is to climb and maintain 3000 feet, enter
the chart at the baseline torque value of 80% torque, move right to intersect the
3000 foot pressure altitude value, and read 72% torque as depicted.
Accordingly, for this flight, set the 72% on the aircraft torque gage, record the
readings, correct the data, and plot the values as described earlier. The use of
a different baseline altitude for each check will require the torque correction
chart depicted in Figure 27 to be carried in the aircraft for reference.
(i) Reduced torque values may be required at high altitudes to re main within
engine or aircraft limitations. This can result in N1 readings below 90% speed
that will allow the engine bleed valve to open. If these data are plotted, they will
erroneously appear as a step change increase in the MGT trend. Step change
increases in the MGT trend must be compared to the trended N1 to assure the
bleed valve is closed. Data taken while the bleed valve is fully open or
modulating will not be accurate.
(j) Step change variations in MGT or other graphed parameters should be
investigated to determine their cause. Step changes that result from aircraft
configuration changes, engine maintenance, or other known causes are
permissible and result in a new trend line, as illustrated in Figure 20 or 21. Step
changes resulting from unknown causes should be investigated systematically,
using the recommendations provided in the troubleshooting section of this
manual. (See Table 101, 72–00–00, Engine–Troubleshooting.)
(k) The maximum amount of deterioration allowed is determined by the limits
stated in the aircraft flight manual, and in accordance with the aircraft
manufacturer’s FAA approved power assurance check procedure.

C. Procedure
(1) Set the aircraft altimeter to 29.92 in. Hg and fly the aircraft at a pressure altitude
convenient to normal flight and in increments of 1000 feet from sea level. The
maximum altitude for the check is 10,000 ft. Assure the following conditions exists:
WARNING: DO NOT TURN OFF SYSTEMS OR COMPONENTS REQUIRED FOR
SAFE FLIGHT. IF ANTI–ICE IS FREQUENTLY REQUIRED FOR SAFE
FLIGHT, IT SHOULD BE OPERATED DURING EACH TREND CHECK.
(a) Anti–ice air–off
(b) Air particle separator – off
(c) Environmental control unit – off
(d) Bleed air heater–off
(e) Generator load is less than 20%
(2) Set engine N2 speed at 100%. This speed should remain constant on all subsequent
checks.
NOTE: If N2 rpm is changed for subsequent checks, a new baseline trend will be
established.
(3) Keep the aircraft in a level cruise flight when this trend check is performed. Do not
perform the check while in a slow or hover flight mode.
(4) Set the engine power to a baseline torque value that provides at least 90% N1 speed
to be sure the engine bleed valve is closed and to ensure a valid trend check. If a
nonstandard baseline altitude is used, determine the indicated torque requirement from
the torque correction chart. (See Table 8.) If N1 is not 90% or more, step (3) should
be repeated at a higher torque value, which will also establish a new trend line. Hold
cruise power for one minute, to allow the engine to stabilize prior to recording the data
listed in step (5).

(5) Record the following values on the trend check record provided as Figure 28.
(a) Pressure altitude
(b) OAT (°C)
(c) N1 – Gas Producer rpm
(d) Torque
(e) Measured Gas Temperature – MGT
(6) Following flight, correct N1, MGT, and torque values, using the charts provided in
Tables 8 through10. Record corrected values on the trend check graph provided in
Figure 29.
NOTE: Refer to Figure 28 for a reference outline of the trend check procedure
which can be conveniently carried in the aircraft.
17. Aircraft Manufacturer Trend Check –– Alternate Procedure
Most aircraft manufacturer power checks generate percent torque as part of the aircraft In–flight
Power Assurance – Daily Trend Check. This procedure trends power or torque with appropriate
corrections for ambient flight conditions and aircraft installation characteristics. The result of this
procedure is a difference in percentage from specification torque. This difference in percentage of
specification torque can be used for trend monitoring by plotting the observed torque margin on a
daily basis. This plot would appear similar to Figure 31.

NOTE: Depending on aircraft gross weight and ambient conditions, performance of the trend check may not be possible using
some of the above indicated torques. If the trended torque figure selected produces an indicated torque value that
is so low that an accurate trend check is not possible, an increased baseline torque value may be required.

250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
When a component to which rigid tube assemblies are attached is replaced, remove all interfering
tube assemblies to permit easy removal and reinstallation of the component. This precaution will
prevent subsequent damage to the tube assemblies. Tube–to–fitting alignment should be checked
for proper fit, as described in the Flared Tubes and Flanged Tubes paragraphs, any time such a
component is installed.
A. Flared Tubes
Tube assemblies must fit and be aligned with the mating flare tube fittings to the degree that
at both ends of the assembly the flares shall uniformly seat in a free state on the cones of the
mating fittings. The fit shall be without distortion or stretching of the tube assembly and to the
degree that the nuts can be fully engaged up to the final one half turn with light finger
pressure.
In the event a tube does not align with the mating fittings, reposition the mating fittings to the
degree that proper alignment is attained. Final tightening of these fittings must be
accomplished before the tube assembly is connected.
If proper alignment cannot be attained by repositioning mating flare tube fittings, bend the
tube sufficiently to provide alignment in the free state as specified. Accomplish all bending
with the tube removed from the engine. Adjustment of the fit may be accomplished by
bending by hand at principal bends.
In the event the tube cannot be bent by hand, the tube must be clamped in a fixture or device
which will not scratch, indent, crimp, or mark the surface of the tube during the bending
operation. The flattening effect of the cross section section of the tube as a result of the
reforming operation must not exceed 15 percent of the tube OD.

B. Flanged Tubes
The alignment of tube fittings with mating sealing surfaces and the securing of tube clips must
conform to the following:
(1) Nut and Nipple Joints. With one end hand tightened, it must be possible to locate the
nipple at the free end in its conical seating, by flexing the tube by hand, without
effecting a permanent set to the assembly. The alignment of the joint must be such
that the nut readily engages with its mating thread.
(2) Setscrew Retained Flanged Adapters. The clearance and parallelism between flange
and mating surface, with the opposite end secured, must be such that the total flange
area contact can be achieved by flexing the tube by hand, without effecting a
permanent set to the assembly. Flange clearance holes must line up with the tapped
holes such that bolts can be fitted without subjecting the tube to a torsional load.
(3) Clipping Points. Locate clips to securing points such that the setscrews can be fitted
by flexing the tube by hand, without effecting a permanent set to the assembly. Tubes
which fail to meet this requirement may be removed from the engine and reformed as
follows:
(a) Tubes must be clamped in a fixture which will not scratch, indent, crimp or mark
the surface of the tube during the bending operation.
(b) Retention of the tube during bending should be made in a manner which does
not permit bending or torsional loads across welded or brazed areas.
(c) Tubes which can be corrected for fit only by submitting welded areas to bending
or torsional loads, must be reinspected by X–ray or Zyglo for any evidence of
weld or braze fracture prior to reinstallation on the engine.
(d) Reformed tubes must meet the requirements of steps (1) and (2).

250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
(4) When removal of the tube from the engine would result in excessive lost time due to
the need for teardown and rebuild, the tube may be reformed attached to the engine if
the following precautions are followed;
(a) Bending and torsional loads must not be applied across welded or brazed
areas.
(b) The tube attachment points are to be loosened after bending (attachment points
which are inaccessible due to the state of assembly are excluded).
(c) Reformed tubes must meet the requirements of steps (1) and (2).
7. Lubricants
CAUTION: DO NOT USE SILICONE LUBRICANTS EXCEPT WHERE SPECIFIED. USE ONLY

NOTE: Check the aircraft oil quantity within 15 minutes of engine shutdown to avoid a false
indication of excessive oil consumption. If the 15 minutes has been exceeded,
motor the engine for 30 seconds with the starter before checking tank quantity.
Motoring scavenges oil from the gearbox back to the aircraft oil tank.
The maintenance actions required when oil temperature limits have been exceeded are
governed by the overtemperature conditions encountered. Specific conditions and their
respective maintenance action requirements are as follows;
(1) Engine oil temperature exceeds 107°C (225°F) but remains less than 120°C (248°F)
for a period not exceeding ten minutes. Oil pressure remains normal.
(a) Check for carbon deposits (coking). (Refer to Power Turbine Pressure Oil
Nozzle Flow Check, para 5.E. or 5.F., 72–50–00.)
(b) Inspect and clean or replace the oil filter (Use 6798860 puller to remove the
filter cap) and change scavenge oil filter.
(d) Reservice the oil system with new oil. Ground run the engine for 10 minutes,
obtain as high a power setting as possible without lift–off (without exceeding
Max Continuous rating).
(e) Reinspect the oil filter and the magnetic drain plugs. If no carbon particles can
be found, return the engine to service. If carbon particles are found, repeat the
maintenance procedure.
(f) Reinspect the oil filter and the magnetic drain plugs after five hours of engine

Check run the engine in the airframe in accordance with the following schedule.
The procedures in this paragraph will aid in evaluating vibration, identifying vibration sources
and analyzing vibration levels so that corrective action may be taken. Continued engine
operation with high vibration levels will cause excessive engine and component wear, and
can contribute to engine failure and premature engine removal.
Engine vibration may be influenced by factors including aircraft installation, accessories,
normal wear, maintenance practices, or unusual operating conditions. By measuring the
frequency and magnitude of a vibration, then comparing the measurements with known
vibration factors, such data may be used to obtain an indication of the engine area requiring
corrective action.
Vibration is a mechanical oscillation or motion about a reference point. Engine–induced
vibration is generally observed at frequencies equal to N1 or N2 rotor speeds, gear rotational
speed, gear mesh frequency, or bearing passage rate. In some instances, the vibration also
appears as a harmonic or multiple of the basic frequency.
Vibration pickups (transducers) are used to convert vibration motion to an electrical signal.
These pickups may be calibrated in terms of vibration displacement (“mils”), acceleration
(“G’s”), or velocity (“IPS”). Velocity is the most meaningful measure of vibration on Model 250
engines.
A vibration signature should be performed on each engine or aircraft using a spectrum
analyzer. The signature should be repeated at scheduled intervals, such as 100 hours, and a
file should be maintained for each engine–aircraft combination. When a major change in the
frequency response is noted, such as the level changing from 0.2 IPS to 0.6 IPS, closer
monitoring should be maintained on such engine.

C. Equipment Requirements.
Equipment consists of transducers (pickups), brackets, attachment hard ware, cables and a
spectrum (frequency) analyzer with plotter. The equipment must function as an integrated
system capable of vibration measurement over a minimum range of 15 to 1500 Hz (900 to
90,000 rpm); higher ranges are desirable. The system must be capable of measuring
vibration levels from at least 0.050 to 5 IPS average velocity.
Currently acceptable equipment is listed below.
(1) Acceptable Equipment:
(a) Chadwick–Helmuth Model 192, 192A and 8500 Analyzer/Plotter with Model
7570 High Temperature Accelerometer Kits
D. Test Procedure.
NOTE: The following procedures apply to use of the Chadwick Model 192 analyzer.
Operational procedures for other analyzers will be similar.
(1) Install vibration pickups vertically on each engine module as shown in Figure 503 and
in the following instructions.
(a) Compressor. Install one vertical vibration pickup on the front side of the
compressor–to–inlet housing splitline at the 12 o’clock position. Use a balance
“T”–type bracket, such as Rolls–Royce part number 23034204 (see
Figure 504).
(b) Gearbox. Install one vertical vibration pickup on the power and accessory
gearbox top mounting pad. Refer to Figure 505 for fabrication of this mount, if
required.

(2) Using the blue card (10 IPS side) in the spectrum analyzer, measure the frequency
range desired at any test point except test point 6 (see Figure 507).
(3) Using the green–border card (10 IPS side) in the spectrum analyzer, measure the
frequency range desired at test point 6 (see Figure 508).
(4) Secure cowlings as required by aircraft flight manual for safe ground and flight
operation.
(5) Start engine to idle. Operate engine as necessary to bring oil system to normal
operating temperature range.
Record applicable vibration data (see Figure 502). Record as many test points as
possible before flying.
NOTE: Current average limits for discrete frequencies are 1.0 IPS, with an
overall average of 1.5 IPS.
(7) Determine if maintenance action is indicated by comparing the newly acquired data
with previously recorded data and with maximum allow able limits (see Figure 509).
E. Interpretation of Data.
The first step is to determine if the vibration is airframe or engine related. Any rotational
speed below engine output shaft speed is usually airframe related, because the slowest
rotational speed of the engine is the power output shaft (except for some accessory drives).
The power output shaft speed:

(c) Gear rpm multiplied by the number of gear teeth = gear mesh frequency
NOTE: The vibration card used in the following example is for the frequency
range 5,000 to 60,000 rpm only. The vibration level of the engine
should be checked over the entire required range of frequencies
(5,000 to 900,000 rpm).
(2) Example: Normal Vibration Range. The upper end of the normal vibration range for
one discrete vibration frequency is 1.0 IPS (Avg.). Therefore, the engine in the
following example is well within the Rolls–Royce normal vibration range (normal
vibration range is specified in Figure 509).
(3) Normal Operating Range. Compare IPS average velocities shown below to the normal
operating range shown in Figure 509. In this case, the vibration is within normal
operating range.
(4) Sources of Engine Vibration. If vibration is not within normal operating limits, the
source of vibration should be identified. Many possible sources of vibration exist, but
the highest engine–related vibration levels normally occur at rotational speeds of the
major engine components which are as follows:
72–00–00
Page 516

(5) Sources of Airframe Vibration. The most frequent sources of airframe vibration are as
follows:
(b) Main rotor blade passage speed (and multiples of this speed)
(e) Tail rotor blade passage speed (and multiples of this speed)
(b) For example, to find N1, look for a major peak in the measured frequency range
between 510–850 Hz; this corresponds to 30,600– 51,000 rpm, or 60%–100%
N1. Refer to the major peak occurring at 800 Hz (48,000 rpm) in Figure 507.
By interpolating from the known 100% factor 850 Hz = 51,000 rpm, it can be
determined that 800 Hz = 48,000 rpm, or 94.1% N1, which confirms the
recorded N1 speed of 94%.
(c) Similarly, N2 can be found as a major peak between 330–550 Hz; this
corresponds to 19,800–33,000 rpm, or 60–100% N2. Refer to the major peak
occurring at 550 Hz in Figure 507. The peak at 550 Hz = 33,000 rpm (which is
the 100% factor), confirming the recorded N2 speed of 100%.
(d) The remaining major peaks can be identified by using speed charts to help
determine potential vibration sources. These charts list gear ratios and rotating
shaft speeds for engine–driven components. Matching the vibration peak
frequency (rpm) with a speed on the chart will indicate the most likely source for
that vibration.
(a) Shaft speeds on the speed charts were computed using 100% N1 and N2. If
measured N1 and N2 are not at 100%, the vibration peak frequency (speed) at
which the vibration would occur if N1 and N2 were 100% must be determined.
The resulting speed is matched to a shaft speed in the chart.

Jun 1/96
EXPORT CONTROLLED Rolls–Royce
250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
(b) For example, the remaining major peak in Figure 507 occurs at 11,300 rpm.
The notation on Figure 507 chart indicates N1 = 94% and N2 = 100%. Since N1
is not 100%, the equivalent rpm for 100% N1 must be found:
(c) Therefore, the 100% N1 equivalent of 94% N1 at 11,300 rpm is 12,021 rpm. It
is not necessary to convert N2, since N2 is at 100%. However, both speeds (N1
and N2) are needed for charts since it is not known if the vibration is from the
N1 or N2 gear trains.
(d) Examination of the speed chart (Figure 510) shows a spare drive gear shaft
speed of 12,032 rpm in the N1 gas producer and power turbine gear trains,
which is close to the 12,021 calculated vibration frequency. This result
indicates a vibration problem in the area of the N1 spare drive gear.
(e) Rule out the possibility that the vibration is from N2 by comparing the 11,300
rpm 100% N2 vibration with the speed chart (Figure 510). No shaft speeds are
close to the 11,300 rpm peak on Figure 507.

F. Limits.
(1) Discrete Frequency Vibration Limit. The discrete frequency guide lines apply to
measurement of a particular frequency, such as 48,000 rpm (800 Hz). If tests reveal
vibrations above the normal operating range (Figure 509), or above 1.0 IPS average
velocity, action should be taken to determine the source of the vibration and perform
corrective action.
(2) Overall Vibration Limits. The overall vibration guidelines apply when test equipment
reads all vibration contributions over a broad band, such as 15 to 2,000 Hz. If the
overall vibration level is above 1.5 IPS average velocity, a spectrum analysis to
determine vibration levels at individual discrete frequencies should be performed.
G. Maintenance Action.
There are many potential causes of vibration. Suggested areas for possible corrective action
are:
(1) General Checks:
(a) Check cables, spectrum analyzer and pickups to ensure that all test
components are in proper working order and are calibrated properly.
(c) (c) Check compressor and turbine attaching hardware. Retighten compressor
hardware per PARA 1.B., 72–30–00. Retighten turbine hardware per PARA
1.B., 72–50–00.
(d) Inspect for mainshaft bearing failure or impending failure. Such failure should
generate metal particles and enable the chip indicator light. Check oil filter and
magnetic chip detectors for evidence of metal contamination.
NOTE: Some of the following suggested corrective actions and checks for
source of vibration require disassembly of the engine and engine
modules. If the operator is not qualified or experienced in this level of
engine maintenance, it is recommended that the operator remove the
module or complete engine from the aircraft and send the
module/engine to a Rolls–Royce AMC for repair.

NOTE: The following specific items and/or functions are the minimum required
actions when performing a sudden stoppage engagement inspection. Each
incident should be judged on an “as required” basis possibly requiring more
than these minimum requirements. Engines involved in sudden
stoppage/engagement do not require overhaul automatically. This
judgement is the responsibility of the service facility performing the
inspection.
If the engine has to be removed from the airframe as a result of the main
rotor sudden stoppage/engagement (Specified in paragraphs following),
then the operator should take care to provide the Rolls–Royce Authorized
Maintenance Center (AMC) with all the details about the incident. This
information should include a description of damage to the airframe power
train and mounts, as well as any other pertinent information.

Replace the compressor assembly if the engine has been operated with inlet air restricted
due to foreign objects or materials which have become lodged in the compressor inlet.
Tag the replaced compressor to show that the cause of removal was inlet air blockage and
send to a Rolls–Royce approved repair facility for complete overhaul.
Conditions which constitute blockage are power loss encountered following a restriction
at the compressor inlet area while the engine is in operation. Blockage in flight can usually
be verified by inspection after landing (blockage still exists). However, some blockage
may be followed by ingestion before inspection can take place. Objects or materials which
were large enough to have stopped at the inlet guide vanes before ingestion, or which
causes a noticeable rise in MGT, can be considered to have caused compressor inlet
blockage.
(4) Engine Submerged in Water
If the engine has been submerged in water, proceed as follows:
(a) Contact a Rolls–Royce AMC for recommended disposition.
(b) Tag the engine indicating that it encountered submersion in water.
(5) Lightning Strike Inspection
Aircraft lightning strikes occur when the airframe can serve as a least–resistance bridge
for the electrical bolt as it travels through the air. Consequently, aircraft extremities (tail
pylon, blades, nose, landing gear, etc.) typically act as points of entry or exit.
However since the exact electrical path through the aircraft may not be readily traceable
following a strike, the following guidelines are recommended:
(a) In the event of a lightning strike in the immediate vicinity of the engine(s) (as
evidenced by charring, burn marks or pitting associated with electrical arcing on
the engine cowl, compartment or inlet) remove the engine(s) prior to further
flight and send them to an Rolls–Royce approved repair facility for detailed
teardown and inspection.
(b) Where the aircraft is known or suspected of having been involved in a lightning
strike and entry/exit points either cannot be determined or appear remote to the
engine(s), perform the following:

(10) Oil System Contamination Inspection
After first 50 hours of operation on new, repaired or overhauled engine, check oil filters for
contamination. Also, if decreased oil pressure is noticed during operation, check engine
oil filters for contamination at that time. If debris is found, proceed as follows:
(a) Drain oil system. Pay particular attention to any metallic debris in the oil. Swab
the oil tank and note any foreign material.
(b) Flush engine oil system and clean oil filter.
(c) Reinstall filter and fill filter cavity with fresh oil. Fill oil tank with fresh oil.
(d) Perform 30–minute ground run at power as described in Magnetic Plug
Inspection, PARA 3.B., 72–60–00.
(e) After ground run, remove and inspect filter. If filter shows not accumulated
debris, release aircraft for flight. During the next 30 hours of operation, check
engine oil filter at approximately 10–hour intervals to determine if additional
debris has accumulated in the filter.
(11) Engine Operated With No Oil Pressure
Any engine operated for more than 30 seconds without oil pressure must be removed and
sent to a Rolls–Royce authorized facility for disassembly and inspection as defined by the
250–C40B Series Engine Overhaul Manual, Publication CSP 22000.

(1) Introduction
The following provides the Rolls–Royce recommended engine inspection schedule for
those operators that desire to maintain their aircraft on a progressive type inspection
program. Other portions of this manual must also be consulted regarding the hour and
cycle requirements on life limited parts and the recommended overhaul periods for the
engine, modules, accessories, and components. (Refer to Table 607.)
The inspection intervals specified in this program are intended to be the maximum
allowable. If an operator finds more frequent compliance with certain portions is required
due to local or operational conditions, it is the responsibility of that operator to adjust the
compliance times accordingly.
The inspection program as described is separated into Daily Inspections (preflight to be
performed by flight or maintenance personnel), eight inspection events, and special
inspections. At least one complete cycle (eight inspection events) must be completed
every 12 calendar months to satisfy the FAA annual inspection requirement.
The inspection program may be started from new or after completion of a 300 hr
inspection. Termination of the program is accomplished by the completion of a 300 hr
inspection prior to reverting to the conventional 150/300 hr inspection program specified
in this manual.
(a) This is a visual preflight inspection of the engine which is normally conducted
by a pilot and is intended to be a visual inspection of the engine for general
conditions, obvious fuel or oil leaks, general engine integrity, and inlet foreign
object damage. This inspection does not require engine or airframe
disassembly. Engine access is to be gained through the normal cooling access
doors. The compressor inlet is not accessible on some installations due to
particle separator installation. In this case, the pilot should assure himself of
the integrity of the particle separator by looking for missing elements.

ENGINE – CLEANING/PAINTING
1. Cleaning – General
A. Use care in separating metals for cleaning. Cleaners for steel will damage nonferrous parts.
B. The cleaning solvent recommended for nonferrous parts is mineral spirits. Do not use rust
preventatives on magnesium and aluminum parts.
C. Clean aluminum–coated steel parts with carbon removal compound (Gunk Chicago Co.,
Gunk Hydrofoil Decarbonizer, or equivalent). Rinse the parts with water and dry with an air
blast.
D. Clean steel parts with cresol base cleaning compound (Turco Products Inc., Formula 3097, or
equivalent). Rinse the parts thoroughly with hot water. Coat parts with a compound made of
one part of rust preventative (Cities Service Anti–Corrode 204, or equivalent) and three parts
oil (Atlantic Richfield Co. 31100, or equivalent).
NOTE: Do not allow bearings to spin during drying after the cleaning operation. Lubricate the
cleaned bearings lightly with engine oil and wrap to keep clean while waiting for engine
assembly.
A. Touch up damaged paint on magnesium alloy parts with engine gray enamel (Actithane WC
100 or equivalent).
B. On aluminum–alloy parts which were originally painted without anodizing, touch up reworked
areas with zinc–chromate primer (AMS 3110), then repaint.
C. On aluminum–alloy parts which were originally anodized, clean damaged areas with mineral
spirits and rinse the part with water. Treat the damaged area with chemical film. (Chem–Rite
A22 or equivalent, manufactured by M and T Chemicals Inc., Matawan, N.J.) As an alternate,
use chromic acid. If the coating is soft and powdery, the solution is too strong or the reaction
time is too long; dilute the solution with water. If little or no visible coating forms, increase
either the solution concentration or the reaction time.

Michigan 48220).
(2) Thinner. Actithane H251 (Saran Protective Coatings Co., 830 Drayton, Ferndale,
Michigan 48220).
(1) Immediately before application of paint, thoroughly clean the area using acetone,
methylethylketone, or toluene. Do not handle the area with bare hands or soiled
gloves during or after cleaning.
(2) Apply paint by spray or brush. Air dry for 20 minutes. Flow a continuous film of paint
at the interface area of all dissimilar metals so that the area is completely sealed
against moisture. This applies to all areas not previously protected and/or to areas on
which a previously applied film should need repair.

6. Preservation Surveillance
The shipping package must undergo humidity indicator element inspection at the end of each 30
days storage.
A. If the humidity indicator is light blue (white to blue is also acceptable), the moisture level in
the container has been satisfactory. Make note of the humidity inspection in the Engine Log.
B. If the humidity indicator is light lavender or pink, the moisture level in the container has been
unsatisfactory. Return the engine to storage condition as follows:
(1) Remove the engine from the container and inspect for evidence of moisture. Normally
the first condition encountered will be galvanic corrosion in areas having dissimilar
metals in contact with each other such as steel bolts and fittings contacting the
magnesium gearbox.
(2) If corrosion is not found, replace the humidity indicator element and return the engine
to storage.
(3) If corrosion is found, clean or replace the corroded parts as necessary. Remove
shipping parts and install the engine on a test stand or in an airframe. Start the engine
and accelerate to Ground Idle. Operate at this engine power setting or above for a
sufficient length of time (approximately five minutes) to accomplish the following:
depreserve the fuel system, recoat all lubricated interior components, and thoroughly
remove moisture from the engine. Upon completion of the engine run, preserve the
engine and return it to storage in the normal manner described in this section. Make
note of the inspection and ensuing actions in the Engine Log.

insert it into the front bearing housing.
(d) Apply a small amount of petrolatum to the rollers of the bearing to hold the
rollers in place while the bearing housing is being installed.
NOTE: Since the spring has been eliminated in the roller bearing installation it is
necessary to use a locally fabricated tool to hold the front bearing housing
up while installing the front support, so the snap ring tangs engage the slot.
Make sure the tool is removed after installation of the front support.
(4) Install the front bearing housing over the bearing and seal. Secure the housing at the
seal with the Internal retaining ring using 6893738 retaining ring pliers. During
Installation of the bearing housing, exercise care to avoid damage to the carbon face
of the seal assembly. Lubricate and install two packings on the bearing housing.
Index the housing so that the retaining ring tangs are at top center.
(5) Install the compressor front support over the bearing housing. Index to have the oil
inlet fitting approximately 12° to the left of top center. Engage tangs of retaining ring in
slots of front support by aligning the slot in the end of the bearing housing integral stud
with the top center hole of the support front flange. Use a screwdriver in the stud slot
to rotate the housing back and forth while applying light hand force on the front support
to feel the retaining ring tangs engage. When engaged, the housing will no longer
rotate. Use a mirror to determine that the tangs are properly engaged. Retain the
front support at the shroud housing forward flange using six bolts. The 90° bracket
and long bolt go at the 8 o’clock position (viewed from the front). Also, retain at the
compressor bearing housing and at the hub with one nut. Tighten flange bolts to

4. Compressor Cleaning
The compressor cleaning practices necessary for proper maintenance are a water rinse to remove
contamination and wash to restore performance.
NOTE: Operators should be aware that salt laden air may be encountered for 75–150 miles
inland under certain weather conditions. If there is any doubt about the conditions
in which your engines are operated, the compressors should be given a daily water
rinse. Water will not damage the engine, but salt and chemicals will.
(1) Precautions
(a) Never perform the rinse procedure while the engine is operating, doing so will
damage the impeller. A motored rinse procedure utilizing the starter with N1
speed below 10% is the only authorized procedure for the model 250 series
engine.
(b) N1 speed must not exceed 10% rpm during water spray injection.
(c) Use the highest quality water available. (Refer to PARA 4.A.(2), this section.)
72–30–00
Page 226
May 1/99
EXPORT CONTROLLED Rolls–Royce
250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
(d) Do not spray water into a hot engine. The engine temperature should be
satisfactory for water rinse when the bare hand can be placed on the outer
combustion case without discomfort.
(e) Avoid conditions which would allow the rinse water to freeze.
NOTE: Methyl alcohol may be added to the water to prevent freezing during
water rinse in below freezing weather. Mix one part methyl alcohol to
one part water. This mixture prevents freezing down to –40°C
(–40°F). The methyl alcohol shall contain methanol in concentrations
not less than 99.85% by volume (See Table 1, 72–00–00).
(f) Do not inject a solid stream of water into the engine. The nozzle must provide a
diffused spray pattern.
(g) A conventional nozzle meeting the flow requirements of PARA 4.A.(2), this
section, may be used. Center the spray around the bullet nose of the inlet to
ensure that all of the spray is injected into the engine. Spray a minimum of one
quart into the compressor.
2 Should the electrical conductivity of the water not be known, the use of
distilled, demineralized, or deionized water is preferred.
(b) Portable equipment such as a garden sprayer or fire extinguisher which can be
pressurized to obtain the required flow rate is recommended for water rinse. To
provide capability for rinse with either portable equipment or a water supply
system, a nozzle capable of flowing the recommended rate at about 55 psig
(379 kPag) is desired.
72–30–00
Page 227
Jun 1/96
EXPORT CONTROLLED Rolls–Royce
250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
(c) The spray nozzle shall provide a diffused spray of water at a flow rate of one
quart (1 liter) in nine to eleven seconds at the pressure conditions used during
compressor rinse. The nozzle should be sized to provide the proper flow rate at
the average pressure maintained during each rinse cycle.
NOTE: Test for proper water flow at the pressure to be used by placing the
nozzle in a large container so that no water can splash out. Time the
flow for 10 seconds and measure the quantity collected. Proper
nozzle size for the pressure used should accumulate 1 to 1–1/8
quarts (1 to 1–1/8 liter). Adjust nozzle size as necessary to meet the
specified flow limits.
(d) A quick opening valve shall be installed in the supply tube as close to the
nozzle as practical.
(a) Make sure the anti–ice valve switch is in the “OFF” position.
(c) The bleed valve may be open or closed during the water rinse procedure. If it is
to be closed, use the following procedure.
2 Install an AN 929 cap on the lower bleed valve banjo fitting to prevent
contaminants from entering the valve.
3 Close the bleed valve by applying shop air at no more than 100 psi
(689 kPa) to elbow in the outboard side of the valve.
72–30–00

250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
(d) Spray water into the compressor inlet for 10 seconds while the engine is being
motored with the starter. Start the water injection three seconds prior to starter
engagement. The three second delay will reduce the tendency of the engine to
accelerate above 10% rpm. The spray must flow the water as close to the
bullet nose of the compressor inlet as possible to ensure that all of the spray in
injected into the engine. Do not flood the engine prior to starter engagement.
NOTE: Observe engine speed during the 10 second rinsing operation. The
engine rpm will generally stagnate at or just below 10%; but when
using a fully charged battery or an A.P.U., the rpm may tend to
exceed 10%.
(e) Continue injection of water spray during coast down until N1 stops, this
improves the rinse of the base of the blades. Do not continue spray after
engine stops.
(f) Allow engine to drain. Combustion drain valves may be removed to improve
rapid draining of the turbine.
(g) Within 15 minutes of the water rinse, operate the engine at idle for five minutes
to purge and evaporate all residual water (actuate anti–icing system for one
minute).
B. Wash Procedure
(1) Precautions
Once the compressor wash procedure has been started, it must be carried through to
completion, including the drying run, without delay.
72–30–00

250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
(a) The solution for cleaning the compressor blading consists of an approved
cleaner and water, distilled if available, (Refer to Table 1, 72–00–00,
Engine–Servicing). Follow the cleaner manufacturer’s recommendations for
mixing the solution.
(b) Use of a steam powered aspirator and hot water is desirable, if available.
(3) Preparation
(a) Make sure the anti–ice valve switch is in the “OFF” position.
(c) Retain the bleed valve in the closed position to protect the valve internal
passages from damage caused by the wash solution. Close the valve as
follows:
2 Install an AN 929 cap on the lower bleed valve banjo fitting to prevent
contaminants from entering the valve.
3 Close the bleed valve by applying shop air at no more than 100 psi (689
kPa) to elbow in the outboard side of the valve.
4 Deactivate the engine ignition system by pulling the ignition circuit breaker,
removing the power supply lead from the exciter, or by whatever alternate
means the airframe manufacturer provides.
NOTE: If shop air is not available for bleed valve pressurization, the
bleed valve must be removed and blanking plate fabricated and
installed in its place prior to washing the compressor.
NOTE: If the compressor is extremely dirty, perform the alternate wash procedure
given in PARA 4.B.(5), this section.
72–30–00
Page 230
May 1/99
EXPORT CONTROLLED Rolls–Royce
250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
(a) Spray at least one quart (1 liter) of the washing solution into the compressor
inlet while motoring the engine with the starter without ignition. Inject solution
with an aspirator or sprayer equipped with a quick opening valve. Start
injection three seconds prior to starter engagement and disengage starter at
10% N1 rpm. Inject one quart (1 liter) in 9 to 11 seconds to maintain speed
below 10% for duration of injection. Repeat injection cycle as necessary to
clean compressor.
(b) After injection of washing solution, spray steam or clean water (distilled
preferred) into the compressor inlet. Start injection three seconds prior to
starter engagement, injecting one pint to one quart (0.5 to 1.0 liter) in
approximately 5 to 10 seconds, and again disengaging starter before speed
accelerates above 10% N1 rpm.
An alternative wash procedure may be used when the compressor is extremely dirty and
lost performance cannot be regained by the wash procedure. Accomplish the alternate
procedure as follows:
(a) Scrub the leading edges of the impeller blades to remove dirt–contamination
buildup using a toothbrush and the hot water–Brulin mixture described in PARA
4.B.(2).
(b) Perform the complete wash as described in PARA 4.B., Wash Procedure.
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL, ALIGN, AND TORQUE FUEL, OIL, AND
AIR FITTINGS AND TUBES COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FAILURE.
(6) Return the engine to operating configuration prior to the drying run.
(a) When the wash cycle is completed and before the drying run is made, restore
the bleed air system by removing the shop air and the AN 929 cap from the
valve. Reinstall the jumper tube on the bleed valve. Tighten tube coupling nuts
to 65–100 lb in. (7.3–11.3 N.m).

(a) Disconnect the scavenge oil tube from the external sump.
(b) Use two paper cups or similar container to catch the oil.
(c) With the ignition disarmed, engage the starter and catch the oil using the first
cup to minimize oil mess. When engine N1 speed reaches 16%, insert the
empty second cup and begin oil sample collection. (Limit N1 speed to 16–18%
by interrupting the starter current.) Motor the engine at 16–18% N1 for 15
seconds and collect oil. Stop motoring engine, but continue to collect oil during
coast down until engine rotation stops. It is not necessary to collect minor
drips.
(d) Carefully remove the cup, avoiding any loss of the oil sample. Pour the oil
sample into a baby bottle or any other container that provides measurement in
cubic centimeters (cc) or in fluid ounces (U.S.). (A baby bottle provides both
measurements.) The minimum allowable flow is 90 cc (3 oz.).
(e) Record the amount of oil collected in the engine records. By recording the
amount collected, any decrease in the oil flow can be detected when compared
to previous flow checks.

Disassemble the valve and remove the poppet and spring. Recheck the flow. If
flow is still low, proceed with step h. If the flow comes up to the previously
recorded levels, or is above 90 cc, replace the check valve and recheck the
flow.
(g) If the flow is less than 90 cc (3 oz.), or carbon is found in the oil flow sample,
check the oil pressure lines, including the small screen in the top of the power
turbine support pressure oil nozzle. If the lines and screen are not clogged,

(5) Remove the lockwire and three bolts securing the power turbine pressure oil
tee–connector. Remove the tee–connector and screen. Remove the power turbine
pressure oil nozzle if possible (do not bend the nozzle). If the nozzle cannot be
removed, temporarily reinstall the three bolts with several washers under the bolt
heads omitting the tee–connector. (The washers fill the thickness void resulting from
removal of the tee.) Discard packing seals removed during this disassembly. Do not
remove the oil tube by rotating the flange. This practice is certain to twist the tube,
which causes misalignment of the oil jet hole. If the pressure oil supply nozzle is
removed, inspect for alignment of the jet hole as follows:
(b) Reverse the twist drill and insert the shank end in the jet hole.
(c) Establish the alignment holes on a horizontal plane. (See Figure 210.)
(d) Visually inspect for perpendicularity of the jet hole wire. Any visible deviation
from the perpendicular is cause to scrap and replace the jet nozzle.
(6) Inspect the power turbine support scavenge oil strut using a light and mirror. If carbon
deposits (coke) are found, clean the strut.
(7) Clean carbon deposits from the walls of the scavenge oil strut as follows:
(a) Force shop air or engine oil (in a hand pump–type oil can) through the power
turbine support pressure oil strut or nozzle (if still installed) to flush any
loosened carbon from the strut.
(b) Use one–half of a spiral hacksaw blade, a series of drill bits, or a knife blade
with a hook ground on the tip to pull carbon downward away from the bearing
area.
NOTE: The strut is approximately 3 1/2 in. (89 mm) deep. To ensure that the
entire length of the passage has been cleaned, locally fabricate a
checking gage to use as a work aid. (See Figure 211 for required
gage dimensions.)
(c) Flush the strut again with shop air or engine oil in a hand pump–type can from
the top down. Do not flush debris back into the engine.
(d) Clean carbon accumulation from inside the external sump with a decarbonizing
cleaner. Rinse the sump in petroleum solvent. Air dry. If carbon is found in the
sump can, inspect and clean as required, carbon accumulation from the
external sump–to–gearbox scavenge oil tube assembly.
(a) Carefully remove the screen in the tee–connector. Clean both the screen and
the tee–connector using a suitable solvent. Remove the carbon from tee–fitting
using a No. 12, 0.189 in. (4.8 mm), diameter drill.

extra length drill (must be at least 5 in. (127 mm) long), 0.063 in. (1.6 mm)
diameter, in the top of the pressure oil nozzle; turn the drill by hand and remove
all of the carbon. It may be necessary to clean the drill several times if heavy
coking is present inside the stem of the oil nozzle.
(c) Use a hand oil can filled with engine oil to ensure that oil will flow through the
nozzle and drain out the strut.
(d) The final cleaning must allow a 0.041 in. (1.04 mm) stainless steel safety wire
to be inserted the full length of the tube to ensure that the nozzle orifice is open.
The configuration of the nozzle determines the length of wire required to ensure
cleaning of the complete nozzle.
(a) If removed, install the power turbine support pressure oil nozzle with a new
seal. Use petrolatum or Permatex on the seal to prevent leakage.
(b) If the nozzle was cleaned without removal from the power turbine support,
remove the bolts and washers temporarily installed in para 5.F.(5).

(h) Install the external sump with a new seal on the horizontal firewall shield at the
power turbine support. A light coating of petrolatum or high temperature
Permatex will aid in seating the seal. Retain the sump with three bolts. Apply
anti–seize to the threads of the three bolts; then insert and tighten bolts to
70–85 lb in. (7.9–9.6 N.m) and secure with lockwire.
(i) Install the scavenge oil tube on the external sump. Tighten coupling nuts to
150–200 lb in. (17–23 N.m).
(j) Check run the engine to determine the presence of oil leakage at the power
turbine support pressure and scavenge oil system components.
Engine exhaust smoking can occur as a result of engine internal oil leakage. This leakage
can be caused by inadequate or restricted scavenge oil flow. Perform a Turbine Scavenge
Oil Flow Check to determine if the cause of the exhaust smoking is turbine or gearbox
related.
(1) Required Materials
(a) Four (4) hose fittings which will attach to AN837–5 tube fittings.
(c) Two (2) transparent containers (approximately one (1) quart capacity).
(d) One (1) quart turbine oil of the brand used in the engine.
(2) Procedure
(a) Install a hose fitting on one end of each of the four transparent lines (or tubes).
(b) Remove scavenge lines from No. 6 – 7 and No. 8 bearings scavenge fittings at
both the gearbox and turbine end. (See Figure 212.)
(c) Attach one line to the No. 8 bearing scavenge fitting on the turbine and one line
to the No. 8 bearing scavenge fitting in the gearbox. (See Figure 213). Route
both lines to one container. (See Figure 214.)

line to the No. 6 and 7 bearings scavenge fitting in the gearbox. (See
Figure 213.) Route both lines to second container. (See Figure 214.)
(f) Motor the engine to 15 to 20% N1, immediately disengage starter, and allow to
coast down. Observe flow of oil into and out of containers. If the containers are
not scavenged to the level of the gearbox tube as shown in Figure 215 after
coastdown, check the power and accessory gearbox and airframe oil systems
for the following causes:
(h) Remove the transparent lines and install the No. 6, 7, and No. 8 bearings
scavenge oil lines.
As a troubleshooting guide, engine exhaust oil smoking that occurs during power changes or
after engine shutdown may be caused by an inefficient scavenge oil pump. Scavenge oil
pump efficiency may be checked as follows:
NOTE: The minimum acceptable scavenge oil vacuum at the No. 1, 6–7, and 8 bearing
scavenge oil fittings during this check is 10 in. Hg. The pump should hold this 10
in. Hg (min) vacuum for 30 sec after N1 rotation stops.
(1) Cap all gearbox external oil ports except the oil IN, oil OUT and No. 8 bearing
scavenge fitting.
(2) Connect an oil line to the oil IN fitting and to an oil reservoir. Fill the reservoir with one
quart of oil.

(3) Connect an oil line to the oil OUT fitting and to the oil reservoir.
(4) Connect a vacuum gage to the No. 8 bearing scavenge fitting. Using an oil squirt can,
prime the oil line between the gage and fitting.
(5) Hand crank the N1 gear train counterclockwise to prime the oil pump. Continue
cranking until the maximum vacuum reading is obtained on the vacuum gage. Record
the reading.
(6) Repeat the vacuum check on the No. 6–7 and No. 1 scavenge fittings.
NOTE: If vacuum readings are less than 10 in. Hg, or the pump fails to hold its
vacuum for 30 sec. after N1 rotation stops, verify the accuracy of the gage
calibration before disassembly of the gearbox to make repairs.
(7) If vacuum readings are less than 10 in. Hg, or the pump fails to hold its vacuum for 30
sec. after N1 rotation stops, disassemble the gearbox for repair of the scavenge oil
pump, cut oil transfer tube O–rings or worn oil transfer tube bores.
(8) Remove test lines and vacuum gage and install the No. 1, 6–7, and 8 scavenge oil
lines.
Inspect the power turbine outer shaft splines whenever the engine has been subjected to a
sudden stoppage as defined in para 1.B.(2), 72–00–00, Engine–Inspection/Check. If any of
the following conditions exist, return the turbine to an authorized overhaul or repair facility for
replacement of damaged parts: (See Figure 216).
(1) Chipped, damaged, pitted or worn spline teeth; 0.001 in. (0.03 mm) max. wear
allowed.
NOTE: A sharp pointed scribe, 0.020 in. (0.51 mm) radius, is helpful in detecting a
wear step.
(1) Inspect the horizontal and vertical firewall shields for cracks. Repair as follows:
(a) Repair cracks of less than 2 in. (51 mm) length by stop drilling using 0.125 in.
(3.18 mm) diameter drill bit. Reinspect stop drilled cracks at subsequent 100
hour inspections to ensure there is no additional crack progression.

Whenever the accessory gearbox is opened for any reason, make a general inspection of the
assembly paying particular attention to the following:
(1) Check condition of accessory gearshaft drive splines. A visual check for wear should
be performed. If any doubt about whether there is excessive wear or not exists, the
wear should be checked using a 0.020 in. (0.5 mm) radius scribe. Chipping, or
localized pitting, spalling, or step wear on the splines which may be felt with the scribe
is reason for rejecting and replacing the gearshaft.
(2) Check condition of the gears. A visual check for wear on the gear teeth should be
performed. If visual wear other than polishing of the teeth at their contact surface is
present, it should be checked using a 0.020 in. (0.5 mm) radius scribe. Chipping of the
gear teeth, or localized pitting, spalling, or step wear which can be felt with the scribe is
reason for rejecting and replacing the gear.

(g) Inspect check valve for external leakage at first engine operation after valve
installation on the engine. No leakage permitted.
3. Adjustment/Test
Make necessary changes in the engine oil pressure by adjusting the pressure regulating
valve as follows:
NOTE: During the initial check run of a newly installed engine, the pressure regulating
valve may be adjusted to increase or decrease oil pressure as per specified limits.
A direct reading gage is to be utilized anytime an adjustment to the pressure
regulating valve is required.
(2) Using a wrench, turn the regulating valve clockwise to increase and counterclockwise
to decrease the oil pressure. An approximate adjustment may be made by bottoming
the valve and then backing it out 5–1/2 turns. One turn of the adjustment will change
the oil pressure approximately 13 psig (90 kPag). Oil pressure is 120 + 10, –5 psig
(827 + 69, – 34.5 kPag) at 107°C (225°F) oil temperature.
Oil pumps of new or newly installed engines may require priming before initial lightoff. Prime

4. Inspection/Check
Inspect the power and accessory gearbox for oil leaks. Replace the seal assembly if
excessive oil leakage is detected at an accessory pad location. (See Figure 202.)
Two indicating type magnetic drain plugs are installed in the power and accessory gearbox. If
a warning light is received in the cockpit, or at scheduled maintenance intervals, remove and
visually inspect the magnetic drain plugs. The contamination conditions which may be
encountered on the magnetic plugs are defined as follows:
(1) Paste.
(a) Paste is the result of fine soft particles which come from normal wear due to
gear mesh, bearing rotation and/or spline engagement. These particles mix
with oil or soft carbon to form paste.
(b) This condition is normal and is the reason for the 150 hour cleaning interval.
Paste generally does not cause a warning light. If a light is encountered, make
the magnetic plug check in para 4.B.(3).
(c) Clean magnetic plugs with solvent and brush. Wipe dry with clean cloth or blow
dry with filtered shop air. Reinstall magnetic plugs.
(a) Magnetic particles and debris, chips, flakes and slivers are possible indications
of bearing or gear failure and/or abnormal wear within the engine.
(b) Chips or flakes exceeding 1/32 in. (0.79 mm) diameter or more than 4 slivers
per event are not acceptable.

(3) Perform the following maintenance action as a result of a magnetic chip light
indication.
(a) Clean the magnetic drain plugs. Perform a 30–minute ground run at power with
the rotor turning. Observe engine operation limits and chip warning lights. If
operation is normal, remove, inspect, clean, and reinstall both chip detectors.
Return engine to service.
NOTE: If another chip light is encountered after the engine has been returned to
service, it shall be considered another occurrence. (Refer to step (d) for
limits on number of occurrences.)
(b) If chips or flakes less than 1/32 in. (0.79 mm) diameter or fewer than four slivers
are encountered during the 30 minute run, proceed to the next step.
(c) If a chip light is encountered during the first 30 minute ground run, the following
steps must be taken before the second 30 minute ground run.
1 Drain oil.

NOTE: If a chip light illuminates within the next eight operating hours
following the second 30 minute ground run, and the cause is
determined to be an accumulation of magnetic particles and
debris (chips, flakes or slivers), remove the engine and send to a
Rolls–Royce authorized repair facility. Tag engine noting cause
for rejection.
(d) A maximum of four (4) occurrences of magnetic chip warning light encountered
within any 50 hours of engine operation requires removal of the engine for

(a) If the chip light goes out after activation of the “Chip Pulse” switch, then
continue the flight, make a log book entry accordingly and observe engine
operation and warning lights.
(b) If the chip light remains on after activation of the “Chip Pulse” switch, land and
inspect the magnetic plugs as soon as possible. This light is an indication of
conditions which could cause engine failure. When flying a multi–engine
aircraft, reduce the affected engine output power to the minimum required for
flight and land as soon as practical. If the light is accompanied by abnormal
noises, oil pressure or temperature, and single–engine flight can be maintained,
shutdown affected engine and land as soon as practical. If single–engine flight
is not possible, reduce power of affected engine to the minimum and land as
soon as possible. After landing, inspect the magnetic plugs on the affected
engine for metal contamination prior to further engine operation. Refer to para
4.B., this section, and make a log book entry accordingly.
(c) If during the 30 minutes following the first activation of the “Chip Pulse” switch,
the chip light comes on, land as soon as possible. This light is an indication of
conditions which could cause engine failure. When flying a multi–engine
aircraft, reduce the affected engine output power to the minimum required for
flight and land as soon as practical. If the light is accompanied by abnormal
noises, oil pressure or temperature, and single–engine flight can be maintained,
shutdown affected engine and land as soon as practical. If single–engine flight
is not possible, reduce power of affected engine to the minimum and land as
soon as possible. After landing, inspect the magnetic plugs on the affected
engine for metal contamination prior to further engine operation. Refer to para
3.B., this section, and make a log book entry accordingly.
If the chip light comes on a second time within 50 hours of the first time, follow the
procedure in paragraph (1), above.
If the chip light comes on a third time within 50 hours of the first time, do not actuate “Chip
Pulse’’. Land and inspect the magnetic plugs as soon as possible. This light is an
indication of conditions which could cause engine failure. When flying a multi–engine
aircraft, reduce the affected engine output power to the minimum required for flight and
land as soon as practical. If the light is accompanied by abnormal noises, oil pressure or
temperature, and single–engine flight can be maintained, shutdown affected engine and

250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: If a magnetic drain plug warning light received in the cockpit is confirmed to
be caused by an indicating system malfunction and no metal is found on the
magnetic drain plugs, this chip light incident does not count toward the total
four chip lights in 50 hours.
If the chip light Illuminates a fourth time within 50 hours, do not activate “Chip Pulse.” Land
as soon as possible. This light is and indication of conditions which would cause engine
failure. When flying a multi–engine aircraft, reduce the affected engine output power to
the minimum required for flight and land as soon as practical. If the light is accompanied
by abnormal noises, oil pressure or temperature, and single–engine flight can be
maintained, shutdown affected engine and land as soon as practical. If the single–engine
flight is not possible, reduce power of affected engine to the minimum and land as soon
as possible. Remove the affected engine and send it to a repair facility. Tag engine noting
the reason for rejection.
(5) If the 50 hour time period is obtained with two or fewer chip light indications, a new 50
hour sequence begins and appropriate adjustments to log entries should be made for
previous 50 hour sequence.
All chip indications, whether physically inspected or zapped, must appear in the Engine
Maintenance Log. The maintenance records which are available to the pilot should reflect
the total number of chip indications for the previous 50 hours so that the pilot can initiate
the appropriate procedure if a chip light indication is received in the cockpit during that
day’s operational period.
Inspect the power train pinion helical gear spline whenever the engine has been subjected to
a sudden stoppage as defined in para 1.B.(2), 72–00–00, Engine–Inspection/Check. Replace
the gear if any of the following conditions exist: (See Figure 206.)
NOTE: A sharp pointed scribe, 0.020 in. (0.51 mm) radius, can be helpful in
detecting a wear step.

250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The combined engine filter assembly (CEFA) provides both fuel and scavenge lube filtration within
a single filter assembly which consists of a fuel filter bowl, fuel bypass valve, fuel differential
pressure indicator, a resistance temperature detector (RTD), manifold assembly, a disposable fuel
filter element, a lube filter bowl, lube bypass valve, lube differential pressure indicator and a
disposable lube filter element. The CEFA is located on the lower left hand portion of the power and
accessory gearbox assembly.
The bypass valves for both the fuel and scavenge lube filters allow flow to go into a bypass
condition if excessive differential pressure occurs across the filter elements. The differential
pressure indicators provide a visual signal when differential pressure across either element
exceeds a predetermined value indicating that the element is dirty and requires replacement. Both
indicators are reset manually following replacement.
The fuel bypass valve works in conjunction with an impending bypass indicator. When differential
pressure across the fuel filter rises to a pressure slightly less than the pressure at which the
bypass valve actually cracks, a red button extends signalling that a bypass is about to occur. The
indicator actuates at 2.1 to 2.9 psid and the bypass valve cracks at 3.4 psid minimum. The bypass
valve reseats when the differential pressure drops to 3.0 psid. The fuel filter impending bypass
indicator is located on the lower outboard side of the manifold assembly.
The lube system bypass indicator also signals an impending bypass condition by extending a red
button when the differential pressure across the filter is between 8.8 to 10.8 psid at 52°C
(126°F). The lube impending bypass indicator assembly is equipped with a thermal lockout for
temperatures below 43 ± 8°C (110 ± 15°F). The bypass valve opens when the pressure differential
across the filter exceeds 13.2 psid. The lube indicator assembly is mounted at the bottom (aft end)
of the lube bowl.
A. Removal

The FADEC system is comprised of two primary units: 1) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and 2)
Hydromechanical Unit (HMU). The maintenance concept for the system is removal and
replacement of the individual units when a failure is indicated through fault codes listed in Table 1,
Chapter 77–50–00.
Instructions for removal and replacement of the HMU are given in chapter 73–21–01.
The ECU is airframe mounted, and instructions for its removal and replacement are given in the
airframe maintenance manual. Prior to ECU replacement, download Engine History onto a
computer using Maintenance Terminal software. After installing the replacement ECU, upload the
old ECU Engine History from the computer to the replacement ECU. After engine history is
transferred, perform the following operational check:
E. Switch from AUTO MODE to MANUAL MODE. Verify that MANUAL light is ON.
F. Increase throttle to 70% NG to verify engine response and return throttle position to IDLE.
G. Switch from MANUAL MODE to AUTO MODE. Verify that MANUAL light is OFF.
2. Maintenance Terminal
A. CONCEPT
The fault codes displayed using Maintenance Mode provide a general description of a fault
condition in the FADEC system. The Maintenance Terminal provides a more detailed
description of fault conditions. The Maintenance Terminal also allows the user to retrieve and
transfer engine history, and exceedance information, as well as clear faults from the ECU’s
EEPROM.
B. COMPONENTS
The Maintenance Terminal consists of two floppy disks, an interface cable, and the user’s
Personal Computer. The following table lists the applicable part numbers.

2. Inspection/Check
A. Inspection
NOTE: Igniters installed in aircraft which utilize a continuous ignition system will experience
a much higher than normal rate of wear. More frequent inspection of such igniters
will be required to prevent subsequent damage to the ignition exciters.
(1) Check the spark igniter for erosion. Replace igniter if erosion is excessive.
(2) Inspect the center electrode; replace igniter if the electrode is loose. (See Figure 202.)
(3) Inspect the ceramic for cracks. If any cracks are visible through the carbon coating,
replace the igniter.
(4) Inspect spark igniter for fretting wear. Wear of 0.032 in. (0.813 mm) max is serviceable
without corrective action. Wear of 0.032 in. (0.813 mm) or more is acceptable if it does
not affect the function of the spark igniter and if the following corrective action is taken:
(a) Fabricate a shim from corrosion resistant steel shim stock to the dimensions
given in Figure 203.
(b) At installation of the spark igniter, place the fabricated shim between the outer
combustion case and the igniter.
74–20–01
Page 203
Sep 1/01
EXPORT CONTROLLED Rolls–Royce
250–C40B OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: A shim sized per Figure 203 will reduce the spark igniter installed
thread length by 1/2 turn. Localized fretting is thereby moved 180
degrees from the wear area of the previous installation. Be sure to
remove the shim when a new spark igniter is installed.
B. Check
(1) Check the operation of the installed spark igniter. Apply 28 volts dc to the exciter and
listen for the rate of firing. Normal operation is six sparks per second minimum.
Replace the spark igniter if it fails to fire or fires intermittently.
NOTE: Do not replace the spark igniter as defective until the ignition exciter is
known to be acceptable. (Refer to Ignition Exciter – Maintenance Practices,
74–10–01.)
3. Cleaning
Normal soot or carbon formation of the tip is not detrimental to the operation of the spark igniter
and need not be removed. If cleaning is desired, for some special reason, wipe the metal tip with a
soft cloth only. Remove any sizeable lump of carbon with a blunt instrument. Be careful not to
damage the semiconductor material.

(2) Attach 23002223 pressure test tool to the bleed valve. Carefully align the hole in the
tool with the Pc sensing port in the bottom of the bleed valve. Tighten the retaining
nut.
(3) Attach filtered (if available) shop air to the inlet fitting on the pressure test tool.
(4) Slowly apply shop air. The bleed valve should reach a fully closed position when 65
psi (448 kPa) is applied at sea level, or when 55 psi (379 kPa) is applied at 5000 ft
(1524 m).
NOTE: These closing pressures are nominal values; pressure variations of ± 5 psi
(34 kPa) should not be considered abnormal.
(5) Replace the bleed valve if sticking or erratic movement of the poppet valve is
encountered. Movement of the poppet valve can be viewed through the overboard
bleed air outlet port.
NOTE: A slight pulsating of the poppet valve during this test can be experienced.
Do not confuse these pulsations with sticking or erratic operation. The
pulsations are normally attributable to the compression strokes of the air
compressor.

This chapter contains Model 250–C40B FADEC Fault Codes which are displayed on the Integrated
Instrument Display System (IIDS) when a fault occurs. Listed in the columns of the table are the
Fault–Code, Fault Descriptions, Cause, Type of Fault (Hard, Soft, or Degrade), the effect of the
fault on engine operation, dispatch status, and the most likely Line Replaceable Unit (LRU).
NOTE: The fault code listing is all inclusive for software versions 4.207 and 4.303, although not
all fault codes apply to either software version.
NOTE: All ECU Fault Indications: ECU Fail, Degrade, or Maintenance Advisory, require
maintenance actions in accordance with the procedures listed in the manual prior to
dispatch, with the exception of those cases where dispatch is allowed per the fault code
listing.
Although the most likely LRU’s are listed for each fault code, other potential sources of the fault
(i.e. harness, connector, etc.) should be thoroughly investigated before changing any LRU.
