PUBLICATION Special Instruction (Si)

Pratt & Whitney Canada publish various documents and manuals to support Special instructions are produced by Customer Support to provide specific
all the engines in service. This is a brief description of the documents: maintenance information to specific customers.

Illustrated Parts Catalog (Ipc)

Commercial Support Program Notification (Cspn)
Contains all part numbers and parts history information along with identifying
drawings for an engine series. Used for ordering parts. Program issued to assist operators in the accomplishment of SB’s.

Maintenance Manual (Mm) P/N 3045332 Training Manuals

The manual defines all the line and heavy maintenance tasks that can be done Training manuals are published by the Customer Training Center to assist the
on the engine as well as various tests and adjustments. instructors in class.

Shop Level Maintenance Manual Airworthiness Directive (Ad)

TBD Issued by Governmental Aviation Regulatory Agencies. Requires compliance
to rectify potential problems affecting the airworthiness of the aircraft. AD’s
refer to applicable SB’s for accomplishment instructions.
Service Bulletin (Sb)
Service bulletins are published to introduce new parts, modify existing parts to
improve the product. The service bulletins start with number 41,001.
