WARNING
Instructions in TCM manuals are applicable
only
to engines
and parts supplied by TCM. TCM ICAs
should not
be used for
non-TCM parts.
Installation of non-TCM parts on a TCM engine constitutes a deviation from TCM type-
design criteria. TCM has not participated in design, test or certification of any non-TCM
parts. TCM does not provide product manufacturing specifications to aftermarket parts
manufacturers and accepts no liability for the suitability, durability, longevity, or safety
of such parts installed on TCM engines. Installation of non-TCM parts on a TCM engine
must be performed using Instructions for Continued Airworthiness prepared by the
manufacturer and approved by the FAA for the subject installation.
1-1.4. Compliance
The owner/operator and designated mechanic are responsible for ensuring the engine is
maintained in an airworthy condition, including compliance with applicable service
documents and FAA Airworthiness Directives. Engine service life is calculated based on
compliance with the aircraft and engine manufacturer’s required instructions, inspections
and maintenance schedule. Failure to comply may void the engine warranty.
WARNING
Prior to authorizing engine installation or maintenance, the
owner must ensure the mechanic meets the requirements of
FAR 65 and must follow FAR parts 43, 91 and 145 as
applicable.
Except for FAR part 43.3 authorized owner maintenance, TCM ICAs are written for
exclusive use by FAA (or equivalent authority) licensed mechanics or FAA (or
equivalent authority) certified repair station employees working under the supervision of
an FAA licensed mechanic. Information and instructions contained in this manual
anticipate the user possesses and applies the knowledge, training and experience
commensurate with the requirements to meet the prerequisite FAA license and
certification requirements. No other use is authorized.
WARNING
Failure to comply with ICAs may result in injury or
subsequent engine failure. Pursuant to Federal Aviation
Regulation (FAR) § 43.13, each person performing
maintenance, alteration or preventive maintenance on an
engine or accessory must use methods, techniques, and
practices set forth in the Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness or other methods, techniques, or practices
acceptable to the Administrator.
This manual must be used in conjunction with FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-1B
“Acceptable Methods, Techniques and Practices” as well as Teledyne Continental Motors
