TYPE CERTIFICATION DATA SHEET NO. A10SW
This data sheet which is part of Type Certificate No. A10SW prescribes conditions and limitations under which the product for
which the type certificate was issued meets the airworthiness requirements of the Civil Air Regulations.
Type Certificate Holder: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (see Note 5.)
16-5, KONAN 2-CHOME, MINATO-KU
TOKYO, 108-8215
JAPAN
Type Certificate Holder Record Mitsubishi Aircraft International Inc. transferred TC A10SW to Mitsubishi
Heavy Industries, Ltd. on March 31, 1986.
At low altitude and low ambient temperature, the engines may produce more power than
that for which the aircraft has been certificated. Under these conditions, the placarded
torque meter limitations shall not be exceeded.
*The maximum allowable propeller shaft speed is 106% for a transient period not to exceed
Engine Limits Cont. 5 seconds, and 101% continuous. 100% propeller shaft speed is defined as 2,000 RPM.
