§ 29.1521 

(2) The minimum rotational speed 

shown under the rotor speed require-
ments in § 29.1509(c). 

(3) The maximum allowable manifold 

pressure (for reciprocating engines); 

(4) The maximum allowable turbine 

inlet or turbine outlet gas temperature 
(for turbine engines); 

(5) The maximum allowable power or 

torque for each engine, considering the 
power input limitations of the trans-
mission with all engines operating; 

(6) The maximum allowable power or 

torque for each engine, considering the 
power input limitations of the trans-
mission with one engine inoperative; 
and 

(7) The maximum allowable tempera-

tures for— 

(i) The cylinder head or coolant out-

let (for reciprocating engines); 

(ii) The engine oil; and 
(iii) The transmission oil. 
(d) 

Fuel grade or designation. The min-

imum fuel grade (for reciprocating en-
gines) or fuel designation (for turbine 
engines) must be established so that it 
is not less than that required for the 
operation of the engines within the 
limitations in paragraphs (b) and (c) of 
this section. 

(e) 

Ambient temperature. Ambient 

temperature limitations (including 
limitations for winterization installa-
tions if applicable) must be established 
as the maximum ambient atmospheric 
temperature at which compliance with 
the cooling provisions of §§ 29.1041 
through 29.1049 is shown. 

(f) 

Two and one-half minute OEI power 

operation.  Unless otherwise authorized, 
the use of 2

1

2

-minute OEI power must 

be limited to engine failure operation 
of multiengine, turbine-powered rotor-
craft for not longer than 2

1

2

minutes 

for any period in which that power is 
used. The use of 2

1

2

-minute OEI power 

must also be limited by— 

(1) The maximum rotational speed, 

which may not be greater than— 

(i) The maximum value determined 

by the rotor design; or 

(ii) The maximum value shown dur-

ing the type tests; 

(2) The maximum allowable gas tem-

perature; 

(3) The maximum allowable torque; 

and 

(4) The maximum allowable oil tem-

perature. 

(g) 

Thirty-minute OEI power operation. 

Unless otherwise authorized, the use of 
30-minute OEI power must be limited 
to multiengine, turbine-powered rotor-
craft for not longer than 30 minutes 
after failure of an engine. The use of 30- 
minute OEI power must also be limited 
by— 

(1) The maximum rotational speed, 

which may not be greater than— 

(i) The maximum value determined 

by the rotor design; or 

(ii) The maximum value shown dur-

ing the type tests; 

(2) The maximum allowable gas tem-

perature; 

(3) The maximum allowable torque; 

and 

(4) The maximum allowable oil tem-

perature. 

(h) 

Continuous OEI power operation. 

Unless otherwise authorized, the use of 
continuous OEI power must be limited 
to multiengine, turbine-powered rotor-
craft for continued flight after failure 
of an engine. The use of continuous 
OEI power must also be limited by— 

(1) The maximum rotational speed, 

which may not be greater than— 

(i) The maximum value determined 

by the rotor design; or 

(ii) The maximum value shown dur-

ing the type tests. 

(2) The maximum allowable gas tem-

perature; 

(3) The maximum allowable torque; 

and 

(4) The maximum allowable oil tem-

perature. 

(i) 

Rated 30-second OEI power oper-

ation.  Rated 30-second OEI power is 
permitted only on multiengine, tur-
bine-powered rotorcraft, also certifi-
cated for the use of rated 2-minute OEI 
power, and can only be used for contin-
ued operation of the remaining en-
gine(s) after a failure or precautionary 
shutdown of an engine. It must be 
shown that following application of 30- 
second OEI power, any damage will be 
readily detectable by the applicable in-
spections and other related procedures 
furnished in accordance with Section 
A29.4 of appendix A of this part and 
Section A33.4 of appendix A of part 33. 
The use of 30-second OEI power must be 
limited to not more than 30 seconds for
