OVERSPEED LIMITATIONS
PURPOSE:
MODELS
AFFECTED:
All
Engine operation at speeds in excess of rated RPM (revolutions per minute) limitations can cause
serious damage to the engine and can result in subsequent catastrophic engine failure.
The following criteria is established for use when engines have inadvertently experienced some
degree of overspeed for limited periods of time:

NOTE1
For aircraft equipped with digital RPM measuring equipment, the rated RPM limitation may be
established to include a variance of + 2% for normal operations. Any operation of the engine
beyond the rated RPM limitation plus the 2% allowed variance must follow the inspection
criteria for the appropriate Category RPM Limitation Inspection as contained in this bulletin.
