must be updated as necessary according to
changes to existing instructions or changes in
Engine definition.
(b) The instructions for continued
airworthiness must contain a section titled
Airworthiness Limitations that is segregated and
clearly distinguishable from the rest of the
document(s). This section must set forth each
mandatory replacement time, inspection interval
and related procedure required for type
certification, must be approved by the Authority
and must contain a legible statement in a
prominent location which states that this section is
approved by the Authority and that any variation
must be approved.
(c) The following information must be
considered, as appropriate, for inclusion into the
manual(s) required by JAR–E 25(a).
(1) A detailed description of the Engine
and its components, systems and installations.
(2) Installation instructions, including
proper procedures for uncrating, de inhibiting,
acceptance checking, lifting and attaching
accessories, with any necessary checks.
(3) Basic control and operating
information describing how the Engine
components, systems and installations operate.
Information describing the methods of starting,
running, testing and stopping the Engine or its
components and systems including any special

(4) Servicing information that covers
details regarding servicing points, capacities of
tanks, reservoirs, types of fluids to be used,
pressures applicable to the various systems,
locations of lubrication points, lubricants to be
used and equipment required for servicing.
(5) Scheduling information for each
part of the Engine that provides the
recommended periods at which it should be
cleaned, inspected, adjusted, tested and
lubricated, and the degree of inspection, the
applicable serviceability limits, and work
recommended at these periods. Necessary
cross-references to the Airworthiness
Limitations section must also be included. In
addition, the applicant must include, if
appropriate, an inspection programme that
includes the frequency of the inspections
necessary to provide for the continued
airworthiness of the Engine.
(6) Troubleshooting information
describing probable malfunctions, how to
recognise those malfunctions and the remedial
action for those malfunctions.
(7) Information describing the order
and method of removing the Engine and its
parts and replacing parts, the order and method
of disassembly and assembly, with any
necessary precautions to be taken. Instructions
for proper ground handling, crating and
shipping must also be included.
(8) Cleaning and inspection
instructions that cover the material and
apparatus to be used and methods and
precautions to be taken. Methods of inspection
must also be included.
(9) Details of repair methods for worn
or otherwise substandard parts and components
along with the information necessary to
determine when replacement is necessary.
Details of all relevant fits and clearances.
(10) Instructions for testing including
test equipment and instrumentation.
(11) Instructions for storage preparation,
including any storage limits.
(12) A list of the tools and equipment
necessary for maintenance and directions as to
their method of use.
(d) (1) Except as provided in JAR–
E 25(d)(2), the instructions for continued
airworthiness may be incomplete at the time of
the Type Certification provided the Authority
has approved a programme which ensures their
completion prior to issuance of a standard
Certificate of Airworthiness for the aircraft
with the Engine installed.
(2) Availability of some manual or
portion of the instructions for continued
airworthiness, dealing with overhaul or other
forms of heavy maintenance, may be delayed
until after the Engine has entered service. In
such cases, the Engine Type Certificate Data
Sheet will incorporate a note prohibiting the
corresponding heavy maintenance of Engines
until the instructions are available.
