constant at ¥69.7 degrees F. However, 
for winterization installations, the ap-
plicant may select a maximum ambi-
ent atmospheric temperature cor-
responding to sea level conditions of 
less than 100 degrees F. 

(c) 

Correction factor (except cylinder 

barrels).  Unless a more rational correc-
tion applies, temperatures of engine 
fluids and powerplant components (ex-
cept cylinder barrels) for which tem-
perature limits are established, must 
be corrected by adding to them the dif-
ference between the maximum ambient 
atmospheric temperature and the tem-
perature of the ambient air at the time 
of the first occurrence of the maximum 
component or fluid temperature re-
corded during the cooling test. 

(d) 

Correction factor for cylinder barrel 

temperatures.  Unless a more rational 
correction applies, cylinder barrel tem-
peratures must be corrected by adding 
to them 0.7 times the difference be-
tween the maximum ambient atmos-
pheric temperature and the tempera-
ture of the ambient air at the time of 
the first occurrence of the maximum 
cylinder barrel temperature recorded 
during the cooling test.

§ 25.1045

Cooling test procedures. 

(a) Compliance with § 25.1041 must be 

shown for the takeoff, climb, en route, 
and landing stages of flight that cor-
respond to the applicable performance 
requirements. The cooling tests must 
be conducted with the airplane in the 
configuration, and operating under the 
conditions, that are critical relative to 
cooling during each stage of flight. For 
the cooling tests, a temperature is 
‘‘stabilized’’ when its rate of change is 
less than two degrees F. per minute. 

(b) Temperatures must be stabilized 

under the conditions from which entry 
is made into each stage of flight being 
investigated, unless the entry condi-
tion normally is not one during which 
component and the engine fluid tem-
peratures would stabilize (in which 
case, operation through the full entry 
condition must be conducted before 
entry into the stage of flight being in-
vestigated in order to allow tempera-
tures to reach their natural levels at 

the time of entry). The takeoff cooling 
test must be preceded by a period dur-
ing which the powerplant component 
and engine fluid temperatures are sta-
bilized with the engines at ground idle. 

(c) Cooling tests for each stage of 

flight must be continued until— 

(1) The component and engine fluid 

temperatures stabilize; 

(2) The stage of flight is completed; 

or 

(3) An operating limitation is 

reached. 

(d) For reciprocating engine powered 

airplanes, it may be assumed, for cool-
ing test purposes, that the takeoff 
stage of flight is complete when the 
airplane reaches an altitude of 1,500 
feet above the takeoff surface or 
reaches a point in the takeoff where 
the transition from the takeoff to the 
en route configuration is completed 
and a speed is reached at which compli-
ance with § 25.121(c) is shown, which-
ever point is at a higher altitude. The 
airplane must be in the following con-
figuration: 

(1) Landing gear retracted. 
(2) Wing flaps in the most favorable 

position. 

(3) Cowl flaps (or other means of con-

trolling the engine cooling supply) in 
the position that provides adequate 
cooling in the hot-day condition. 

(4) Critical engine inoperative and its 

propeller stopped. 

(5) Remaining engines at the max-

imum continuous power available for 
the altitude. 

(e) For hull seaplanes and amphib-

ians, cooling must be shown during 
taxiing downwind for 10 minutes, at 
five knots above step speed.
