for the preparation of Instructions for Con-
tinued Airworthiness as required by § 35.4. 

(b) The Instructions for Continued Air-

worthiness for each propeller must include 
the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness 
for all propeller parts. If Instructions for 
Continued Airworthiness are not supplied by 
the propeller part manufacturer for a pro-
peller part, the Instructions for Continued 
Airworthiness for the propeller must include 
the information essential to the continued 
airworthiness of the propeller. 

(c) The applicant must submit to the FAA 

a program to show how changes to the In-
structions for Continued Airworthiness made 
by the applicant or by the manufacturers of 
propeller parts will be distributed.

duction information that includes an expla-
nation of the propeller’s features and data to 
the extent necessary for maintenance or pre-
ventive maintenance. 

(2) A detailed description of the propeller 

and its systems and installations. 

(3) Basic control and operation information 

describing how the propeller components and

ate, including any special procedures that 
apply. 

(4) Instructions for uncrating, acceptance 

checking, lifting, and installing the pro-

(5) Instructions for propeller operational 

checks. 

(6) Scheduling information for each part of 

the propeller that provides the recommended 
periods at which it should be cleaned, ad-
justed, and tested, the applicable wear toler-
ances, and the degree of work recommended 
at these periods. However, the applicant may 
refer to an accessory, instrument, or equip-
ment manufacturer as the source of this in-
formation if it shows that the item has an 

exceptionally high degree of complexity re-
quiring specialized maintenance techniques, 
test equipment, or expertise. The rec-
ommended overhaul periods and necessary 
cross-references to the Airworthiness Limi-
tations section of the manual must also be 
included. In addition, the applicant must in-
clude an inspection program that includes 
the frequency and extent of the inspections 
necessary to provide for the continued air-
worthiness of the propeller. 

(7) Troubleshooting information describing 

probable malfunctions, how to recognize 
those malfunctions, and the remedial action 
for those malfunctions. 

(8) Information describing the order and 

method of removing and replacing propeller 
parts with any necessary precautions to be 
taken. 

(9) A list of the special tools needed for 

maintenance other than for overhauls. 

(b)

AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION

 

The Instructions for Continued Airworthi-

ness must contain a section titled Airworthi-
ness Limitations that is segregated and 
clearly distinguishable from the rest of the 
document. This section must set forth each 
mandatory replacement time, inspection in-
terval, and related procedure required for 
type certification. This section must contain 
a legible statement in a prominent location 
that reads: ‘‘The Airworthiness Limitations 
section is FAA approved and specifies main-
tenance required under §§ 43.16 and 91.403 of 
the Federal Aviation Regulations unless an 
alternative program has been FAA ap-
proved.’’
