Rolls-Royce: Commercial Engine Bulletin

This bulletin from Rolls-Royce concerns operational speed limitations for certain turboshaft and turboprop engines. It specifies that a 71-88% steady-state speed avoidance range is required for M250-C20 and -C20R engines. For M250-B17, -B17F, -C20S, and Series II engines, the avoidance range is 75-88%. Transient operation is allowed in the avoidance range but dwell times over 1 second are not. The bulletin applies to all flight and ground maintenance practices except for certain autorotation scenarios.

ALERT

EXPORT CONTROLLED Rolls-Royce


COMMERCIAL ENGINE BULLETIN
B. Action A
(1) This action is applicable to all Rolls--Royce M250--C20 Series (except M250--C20S) and
--C20R Series Turboshaft Engines used in all Turboshaft OEM applications fitted with
enhanced power turbine wheels P/N 23065818 3rd--stage Turbine Wheel and P/N
23055944 4th--stage Turbine Wheel.
A 71% to 88% engine N2 steady--state speed avoidance range is required for all
operational practices. Rolls--Royce must be consulted for additional guidance on the speed
avoidance range for any OEM application that has a potential steady--state operating
speed below 89% N2.
NOTE: Transient operation only is permitted in the speed avoidance range. Any
exposure in the speed avoidance range must be minimized as much as possible.

This action applies to all flight and ground maintenance (including track and balance)
operational practices. Operation within the speed avoidance range is permitted for preflight
and postflight checks specified in OEM flight manuals.

NOTE: In autorotation, with N2 split from NR and throttle in the Ground Idle position,
unrestricted operation within the speed avoidance range is permitted. Transient
operation in the speed avoidance range during recovery from autorotation is
permitted.

NOTE: Transient Operation is defined as no dwell at an N2 speed of more than a one


second duration.

(2) This action is applicable to all Rolls--Royce M250--B17 Series, --B17F Series and --C20S
Turboprop Engines used in all Turboprop OEM applications fitted with enhanced power
turbine wheels P/N 23065818 3rd--stage Turbine Wheel and P/N 23055944 4th--stage
Turbine Wheel.
This action is also applicable to all Rolls--Royce M250 Series II Engines used in all OEM
applications fitted with enhanced power turbine wheels P/N 23065818 3rd--stage Turbine
Wheel and P/N M250--10445 4th--stage Turbine Wheel.

A 75% to 88% engine N2 steady--state speed avoidance range is required for all
operational practices. Rolls--Royce must be consulted for additional guidance on the speed
avoidance range for any OEM application that has a potential steady--state operating
speed below 89% N2.

NOTE: Transient operation only is permitted in the speed avoidance range. Any
exposure in the speed avoidance range must be minimized as much as possible.

This action applies to all flight and ground maintenance (including track and balance)
operational practices. Operation within the speed avoidance range is permitted for preflight
and postflight checks specified in OEM flight manuals.

NOTE: For turboshaft engines in autorotation, with N2 split from NR and throttle in the
Ground Idle position, unrestricted operation within the speed avoidance range is
permitted. Transient operation in the speed avoidance range during recovery
from autorotation is permitted.

NOTE: Transient Operation is defined as no dwell at an N2 speed of more than a one


second duration.
