IMPORT
REQUIREMENTS:
To be considered eligible for installation on U.S. registered aircraft, each engine to be exported to the United States shall be
accompanied by a Certificate of Airworthiness for export or certifying statement endorsed by the exporting cognizant civil
airworthiness authority which contains the following language:
(1) This engine conforms to its United States type design (Type Certificate Number E4EA) and is in a condition for
safe operation.
(2) This engine has been subjected by the manufacturer to a final operational check and is in a proper state of
airworthiness.
Reference FAR Section 21.500, which provides for the airworthiness acceptance of aircraft engines or propellers manufactured
outside of the U.S. for which a U.S. type certificate has been issued.
Additional guidance is contained in FAA Advisory Circular 21.23, Airworthiness Certification of Civil Aircraft, Engines, Propellers
and Related Products, Imported into the United States.

not exceeding 150 hours during any overhaul period. It is not necessary to purge the unused fuel from the system
when switching fuel type.
NOTE 9. The following oils are eligible for these engines: PWC PT6 Engine Service Bulletin Nos. 1001, 1601, 3001,
4001, 12001 and 13001 list approved brand oils.
NOTE 10. These engines meet FAA requirements for operation in icing conditions when the intake system conforms with
the PWC Installation Manual instruction for inertial separation of snow and icing particles; when the alternative
approved alcohol system is used, flight in visible moisture is restricted as specified in the PWC Installation
Manual. These engines also meet FAA requirements for adequate disk integrity and rotor blade containment and
do not require external armoring.
NOTE 11. For reversing application the PT6A-6A and PT6A-20 engines must be equipped with Woodward Propeller
Governor Type X210XXX.
NOTE 12. Fuel controls approved for each engine model are listed in the applicable Parts Catalog.
Model Characteristics

NOTE 19. This Type Certificate Data Sheet reflects the certification basis and approval for those serial numbered model
PT6A, PT6B and PT6D series engines listed under "Certification Basis". Two Type Certificates have been issued
for administrative purposes: E4EA under FAR 21.29 for engines produced in Canada and E2NE under FAR 21.21
for engines produced in the United States. The type design for each model engine, regardless of where produced, is
identical. The information on this Type Certificate Data Sheet applies to all Pratt & Whitney model PT6A, PT6B
and PT6D series engines, including:
(A) Those serial numbered engines listed on and certificated under FAA Type Certificate E2NE, originally issued
to Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Division of United Technologies Corporation, East Hartford, Connecticut, U.S.A. and
reissued to Pratt & Whitney of Canada Ltd. (Formerly United Aircraft of Canada, LTd.), Longueuil, Quebec,
Canada.
(B) Those serial numbered engines listed above under "Certification Basis," certificated under this Type
Certificate, E4EA, issued to Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp, Longueuil, Quebec, Canada.
NOTE 20. Service Bulletins, structural repair manuals, vendor manuals, aircraft flight manuals, and overhaul and
maintenance manuals, which contain a statement that the document is Transport Canada approved, are accepted by
the FAA and are considered FAA approved. These approvals pertain to the type design only.
