(DOHC). Every cylinder has four valves which are actuated by the cam follower.
The direct fuel injection is realized with a common rail technique and the engine is turbo charged.
The whole engine operation is controlled by an Electronic Engine Control System.
The engine is equipped with an electrical starter, an alternator, a water pump, an oil pump, a coolant
system and an oil cooler. The propeller is driven by a directly integrated gearbox with an integral
torsional vibration damper
Power E4: 123,5 KW (168 hp(M)) with a torque of 513 Nm (4540.43 Lbin) at 2300 PropRPM
Power E4P: 132 KW (180 hp(M)) with a torque of 548 Nm (4850.21 Lbin) at 2300 PropRPM

Characteristics:
Gearbox:
The AE300 is equipped with a gearbox to reduce RPM from the 3880 RPM maximum of the engine to
2300 RPM at the propeller. The reduction ratio of the gearbox is 1.69:1. The figure shows the gearbox
case and the gearbox case cape of the disassembled gearbox.
The gearbox contains three gears. The gearbox housing itself is casted, while the gears are forged
steel.
The governor is attached to the top of the gearbox and controls the pitch of the propeller.
Fig. 01 - 6 Gearbox
Crankshaft
The crankshaft of the AE 300 is made of vacuum remolded, forged steel. The crankshaft has 5 main
bearings.
Crank Case
The AE300 Crankcase is a single piece, squeeze casted part. Based on this design ( cast iron)
separate cylinder liners are not necessary. The cast iron design of the crank case has good failsafe
running functions and also a reduced noise emission. The design of the AE300 is an inline, liquid
cooled engine, the crankcase incorporates the cylinders as well as the coolant passages.
The bore of the cylinder is 83 mm (3,268in). The displacement per cylinder is 498cm³ (30,4 cu in)
which results in a total displacement of 1991 cm³ (121,5 cu in) of the engine. The stroke per piston is
92 mm (3,622 in).
The crankcase also includes provisions for an internal oil pump and a water pump that is mounted on
the engine crank case and driven by the rip belt. The crankcase includes a wet oil sump and contains
the oil supply of the engine.
Cylinder Head
The cylinder head is made of high strength aluminum alloy. The cylinder head is equipped with two
camshafts. Each camshaft drives two intake and two exhaust valves per cylinder. One camshaft is
driven by chain directly from the crankshaft. The other camshaft is driven off the first by direct gear.
The chain drive consists of a double steel chain. Chain tensioning is automatic. The camshafts operate
16 valves, 8 intake and 8 exhaust valves actuated by roller levers with hydraulic valve- clearance
compensation.
The combustion chamber shape of the AE300 is defined mainly by the shape of the piston The valves
are arranged such that the intake air enters the combustion chamber in a swirling pattern to improve
combustion efficiency.
The location of the fuel injector is central to the four valves. The hole immediately next to the injector
hole is the hole for the glow plugs, which are used during pre-heating. The remaining openings in the
cylinder head are coolant passageways. The compression ratio of the engine is 17,5:1.
V-Ripped Belt
The engine is equipped with a V-ribbed belt at the rear end, which drives the coolant pump and the
alternator driven by the crankshaft pulley. The belt is self-tensioning by a spring-loaded pulley.
For operation the engine has to be supplied by the intake system with compressed air at manifold
pressures up to 2660 mbar (38,57 psi) for model E4 and 2750 mbar (39,89 psi) for model E4P which
varies with altitude and power setting. The increased manifold pressure is accomplished with an
exhaust driven turbo charger. After the turbocharger, the air passes through the intercooler, through
the engine to the turbine side of the turbocharger before exhausting to the atmosphere.
The intake air is cleaned by an air filter and then compressed by the turbo charger. During
compression the intake air gets hot. An intercooler between turbo charger and engine is provided to
cool the intake air down thus the desired engine performance can be obtained.
At the intake manifold the intake air temperature and intake air pressure are measured. For the
temperature and pressure readings there are two sensors for each value installed. To provide the
intake air pressure corresponding to the desired engine power and ambient EECU pressure a waste
gate valve is directly mounted at the turbo charger.
Turbo Charger
The EECU controls the turbocharger by using RPM, measured manifold pressure and barometric
pressure to determine a target value for manifold pressure. The EECU then sends an output signal
corresponding to this target value to a boost pressure actuator, which actuates the waste gate.
The boost pressure actuator uses air pressure from the compressor side of the turbocharger to control
a diaphragm box. This diaphragm box is mechanically linked to the turbo charger waste gate and
regulates the amount of exhaust gas that bypasses the turbocharger turbine and therefore manifold
pressure.
The figure shows the turbocharger with the boost pressure actuator, air filter for the boost pressure
actuator and the waste gate controller which is attached to the turbo charger.

Exhaust Pipe
The AE 300 is equipped with a common rail fuel injection system. In such a system the common rail is
a high-pressure fuel reservoir that supplies fuel to solenoid type injectors. Fuel enters the common rail
directly from the high-pressure pump which compresses the fuel up to 1600 bar. The amount of required
fuel is regulated by a fuel metering unit which is attached direct to the high pressure pump.
The actual fuel pressure in the rail (and therefore to the injectors) is measured by the rail pressure
sensor. The EECU interprets the rail pressure, compares it to a target value, and adjust the rail pressure
control valve to reach the correct pressure. Return fuel flows back to the fuel tank. Fuel is supplied to
the injectors through the injector supply ports. Excess fuel (not depicted) is also returned. The fuel
pressure supplied to the injectors is varied continuously. A higher fuel pressure ensures better
vaporization and therefore better combustion, as well as shorter injection duration, allowing delivering
the desired fuel volume at the optimal time. By varying the fuel pressure, the injection duration can be
varied for a given desired fuel injection volume per cycle, allowing for better combustion at lower RPM.

There must be a shut-off valve on the feed line. In case of an emergency it must be
possible for the pilot to shut of the fuel flow.
In the return line a provision must be provided to cut off fuel flowing back to engine in
case of an engine fire (e.g. check valve).
Protection of the intake line to the fuel pump against vibration and other additional
forces is necessary.
The exhaust system is necessary to release the exhaust fumes in a safe and proper way into the
environment. Wrong installation and maintenance can lead to vibrations, which can cause serious
damage in the exhaust system.
Excessive tension at exhaust system mounting points could cause cracks and be a
potential fire hazard.
The internal engine cooling circuit consists of coolant pump, which is driven by the belt, the integrated
coolant/oil heat exchanger, coolant ducts within crank case, cylinder head and intake manifold, where
the coolant temperature sensors are located, and the coolant thermostat.
Coolant enters the engine, driven by the coolant pump. Depending on coolant temperature the
coolant passes at the coolant thermostat through the short circuit direct back to the engine, or
through the radiator, where it is cooled before returning to the engine by passing the oil/coolant heat
exchanger.
At the thermostat there are two circuits connected, the small circuit, which is flown through as long as
the engine is cold and the radiator circuit, which starts to be opened as soon as a coolant temperature
measured direct at the thermostat is above 80 °C (176 °F).
Above 95 °C (203 °F) coolant temperature the radiator circuit is fully open and the small circuit totally
closed. The Heating circuit is always open and aids in cooling.
An expansion tank is provided which contains a silica reservoir to provide the necessary corrosion
protection. The expansion tank has an overpressure valve installed which limits the relative pressure
in the coolant system to max. 2,3 bar (33,36 psi). In addition a low pressure valve is installed to
protect the coolant system from negative pressure
The coolant reservoir allows the coolant to expand when cold, or allows the cooling system to draw
additional coolant as needed. The coolant reservoir also contains a low coolant level indicator

To prevent the system from to much coolant flowing through the vent line an orifice is
installed with an inner diameter of 2 mm (0.079 in) within the line between expansion tank
and radiator. If the line is small enough no orifices are necessary.
In addition to the standard cooling circuit a Gearbox Oil-Water Heat Exchanger (HEX), which is
directly installed at the rear side of the gearbox, is integrated in the coolant circuit (see Fig. 01-
13). The example for an acceptable standard cooling circuit (refer to Fig. 01-12) is only extended
by the gearbox HEX.
For detailed description refer to the Operation Manual E4.01.01 for model E4 and Operation
Mnaual E4.01.02 for model E4P and Installation Manual E4.02.01.
The lubricating system of the AE300 consists of an internal chain driven oil pump, which pumps the
engine oil through the oil filter, the coolant/oil heat exchanger and the lubrication ports of the engine.
The lubricating system is part of the engine. A coolant/oil heat exchanger as part of the engine provides
the oil cooling. Dependent on the coolant temperature the oil temperature is obtained. If necessary the
cooling capacity can be increased by an airstream over the oil sump.
Below the injector cover an oil separator is installed. The breather air out of the crankcase is guided
through an oil separator. Downstream the oil separator the crankcase air is released through the
breather line into the environment. The outlet of the oil separator at the injector cover has to be
connected to a breather line provided by the OEM. The oil separator is protected with an overpressure
relief valve.
In front of the oil filter the oil pressure is measured. The oil temperature is measured in the oil sump
next to the oil filler neck.

System
The starter is manually controlled by the pilot. The EECU will detect a running engine at 600rpm
(Propeller) and further activation is not necessary.
The Generator is a 28V/70A power supply which consists of an alternator mounted to the engine and
an external regulator. This power supply is used to supply the EECS and the airframe.
The Glow Plug Control Unit is only used to enhance the cold starting behavior of the engine on
ground. It controls the power which is dissipated by glow plugs. These quick start glow plugs help to
ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture because of their hot surface temperature.
The EECU is a 28V supplied device which consists of two similar parts, called ECU A and ECU B. Each
ECU is able to control the engine itself. At each self test both ECU channels will be tested.
Depending on the operating hours count the active ECU will be selected. The other ECU channel is in
hot standby that means active, evaluating sensor values but not operating actuators.
In case of a detected failure on one ECU an internal voter can switch over to the alternate channel.
If different kinds of failures are active at the same time, the switch over decision is based on failure
priorities.
This switch over decision can be overruled by the pilot by manually forcing one channel.
The interface to the engine indications in the A/C is realized via a serial Bus (CAN-Bus).
The pilot interface is realized over Power Lever Sensors. Each ECU has its own sensor. Each sensor
has two outputs which are used to perform plausibility checks of the sensor.

According to the sensor characteristics
The desired propeller speed set point is calculated depending on the power lever sensor position. The
current engine speed is used to compute the deviation of the actual propeller speed from the set
point.
The deviation is converted into an output ratio for the set point actuator. The propeller speed set
point is set by an electric motor (actuator) in the governor system. This electric motor substitutes the
conventionally used Bowden Cable.
The governor itself controls the propeller speed via the propeller blade pitch angle adjustment. The
actuator control ensures together with the monitoring a safe and correct actuation.
If the set point is reached the actuator is deactivated (hysteresis provided).
The requested engine torque is calculated depending on the power lever position and the engine-
speed.
- Depending on the requested torque the resulting injection quantity (fuel mass) is calculated.
- Depending on the calculated injection quantity the required boost pressure (air mass) is calculated.

Maintenance Manual E4.08.04
Description:
The propeller governor self test has been designed to emulate the manual run-up test performed by
the pilot of an aircraft equipped with a conventional (mechanical) propeller control lever. With the
single power lever installation of the AE300 engine, the self test button must be pressed during the
automatic run up. The self test button in the cockpit has to be released once before a new
(subsequent) self test can be initiated by pressing the button again.
Release Criteria:
The propeller governor self test will only be released if the following release conditions have been
met:
The EECU will increase the prop speed to about 1900 rpm producing thrust. Therefore
the brakes have to be applied during the whole test run to prevent the A/C from
moving.
The engine oil temperature and gearbox oil temperature shall be within the green
range of the respective engine indicators before initiating the self test.
Test Abortion:
The propeller governor self test will abort immediately and the prop speed will be reduced to idle for
the following reasons:
Cockpit Indications:
For the proper sequence of cockpit indications and possible caution alerts during the self test, refer to
the applicable Aircraft Flight Manual.
Error Handling
For the list of engine control system errors and their error handling refer for model E4 to Operation
Manual E4.01.01 and for model E4P to Operation Manual E4.01.02. Three different types errors are
known:
The following requirements have to be observed to ensure a proper performance of the AE 300 in the
installation environment.
Pay attention that the entire electrical system and wiring harness is protected against
chafing at hot parts or sharp edges.
The source of electric power of the aircraft is the main battery as defined in Installation Manual
E4.02.01. The engine is equipped with an alternator, which is the electrical power system dedicated to
the engine. An excitation battery as defined in Installation Manual E4.02.01 has to be provided for
alternator start up. Thereafter the alternator is self-exciting.
The EECU, alternator and batteries must be wired that in a case of battery failure a voltage supply for
the EECU and fuel feed pumps is still granted.
It must always be possible to separate the engine electrical system (EECU, associated systems and
alternator) from the battery and the rest of the aircraft electrical system.
It must be ensured, that the electric power supply to the EECS is always in compliance with the
requirements defined in RTCA DO160D, Section 16, Cat B.
The required minimum reliability of the EECS electric power supply is depended on the class airplane.
Consult AC 23.1309-1C for determination. If this requires the installation of an EECS backup electric
power system, it must be ensured, that this system is independent and isolated from the airplane bus
system or systems so that electric power from the backup system is supplied to the EECS solely.
An example below gives an overview about a possible installation with isolated supply-Buses showing
the possibility of separating the Alternator from the Main Bus.
Alternator
Relay
EECU:
The EECU is the Electrical Engine Control Unit which is used to control the engine actuators (e.g. fuel
injectors) according to the engine sensor information.
In Installations using the caution indication via CAN, the caution lamp shall be substituted by a
resistor. If the substitute load is not installed, a Caution Lamp Circuit failure will be detected.
If applicable for the installation, lightning protection bonding of the EECU housing to airframe GND
shall be with AWG 4 wire with a maximum length of 0.5m.
On one of the EECU mounting holes the shielding GND for the EECU case can be connected.
The Display and diagnostic interface is a High Speed CAN Bus (with 500k Baud) which is used to
transmit all information to a display/indication panel.
For Example:
CAN CAN
nodes nodes
EECU
CAN
termination
CAN High CAN Termination in
120R 120R Installation
CAN Low
Make sure that the terminating connector is installed in a save position that in any event a
disconnection is impossible.
According to the CAN BUS Protocol each ECU of the EECU sends its own engine information.
Any device connected to the EECU CAN BUS must not transmit any data on the EECU CAN BUS!
It is part of the installer’s responsibility to verify that the information displayed in the
engine instruments conform to the information provided by the CAN BUS.
Alternator:
The output voltage of the alternator has to be constant, independent from engine speed and actual
load current. This requires a regulation of the output voltage by a variation of the excitation current
(implemented in the alternator-regulator device).
To avoid damage of the alternator the regulator must be deactivated when the engine
is not running.
Electrical starter:
The main power supply to the starter cannot be protected with a fuse. Thus the routing
must ensure that there is no increased risk of fire in the event of a short circuit.
The electrical connection of the starter is shown in Chapter 92-00-00 Wiring diagrams.
Function Description
Terminal T30 Power supply starter <200A*
Starter Connector
*Depends on different terms (temperature, mounted propeller, etc.) the current through the supply
line can reach a value up to 200A.
But it is recommended to install the indication lamps to ease failure analysis for maintenance actions
e.g. if problems with cold start performance occur.
Governor Interface:
This EECU is able to actuate the electric motor which changes the governor-set point.
According to power lever position the related propeller speed is controlled by the EECU see Fig. 01-18.
A more detailed description can be found in section Governor Functional description.
As long as the actual propeller speed is different to the predefined propeller set point curve, the EECU
provides a signal to drive the electric motor which is part of the governor.
The desired engine speed for low power is only reachable in flight.

The governor must have two mechanical stops which can be detected by the EECU through sensing
pins. If one of these stops is reached the electric motor will not be actuated into the direction of the
detected stop, only movement into direction of the opposite stop is possible. The EECU also detects
mechanical jamming of the electrical motor. In case of a e.g. a defect motor or mechanical stop sensing
the motor will not be overheat because of excessive current consumption.
The connector equipped on the harness is a Deutsch AS 008 35 PN. Each compatible
connector can be used on a governor.

System
Each ECU has its own caution lamp output. The lamp will be supplied with bus voltage via the ECU.
These display lamps are used to inform the flight crew of a detected EECU or Engine failure.
(For particular installation refer to the applicable Aircraft Maintenance Manual)
The engine is able to perform a Selftest. For this a normally open closer pushbutton is installed.
Activation of the Selftest via the Selftest Pushbutton is only be possible if the VOTER Switch is in
AUTO Position (logical AND relation).
During the whole Selftest the Pushbutton must remain pressed.
(For particular installation refer to the applicable Aircraft Maintenance Manual)
Description:
One applicable engine display system consists of a Main Engine Display (MED) and a Secondary Engine
Display (SED) device, which is offered by Austro Engine (part no. MED: A1A-10-100-000; part no. SED:
A1A-10-200-000). This system is proven to display the relevant engine parameters in consistence with
the engine operation limitations as described in the Operation Manual.
The display is approved as part of the engine installation by the airframe manufacture.
The instructions for installing, operating and maintaining the engine displays are given in the
document A1.04.01 “Design Specification”. In this document the definition of the physical and
functional interfaces to the aircraft and aircraft equipment is given.
The EECU provides a signal for the governor to adjust the required rpm set point
(refer to Fig.01-18)
Governor drive:
The propeller speed is conventionally controlled and kept by a mechanical propeller governor
but the set point of the governor is adjusted by an electric motor controlled by the EECU.
This electric motor substitutes the conventionally used Bowden cable and if e.g. the connection to the
set point actuator fails, the set point remains unchanged and the governor controls the propeller speed
to the last set-point.
The desired propeller speed set point is calculated depending on the power lever sensor position. (refer
to Governor Interface)
The current engine speed divided by the gear box ratio is used to compute the propeller speed deviation
which is then converted into an output ratio for the actuator
The propeller speed set point is set by an electric motor (actuator) in the governor system.
The governor controls the propeller speed via the propeller blade pitch angle
The actuator control ensures together with the monitoring a safe and correct actuation
If the set point is reached the actuator is deactivated and the governor controls the engine speed to
the set point.

The engines should be brought up to full operation coolant temperatures prior to adjustment.
With one engine at cruising speed, the voltage on the operating system is adjusted to 28 volts at a
typical electrical load by turning the set screw (see Fig. 24 – 45).The first engine is switched off and
the next engine is switched on. The second system has to be adjusted to the same voltage at the
same load and engine speed (only for twin-engine applications).
Both systems are switches on and the loads have to be compared for the operation point of the
voltage regulation adjustment.
If it is desired to pull the load division closer together, the regulator of the heavier loaded alternator
has to be adjusted lower respectively the regulator of the lower loaded alternator has to be adjusted
higher.
A test of the adjustment results shall be conducted by turning on the heaviest loads available and
varying of the engine speeds.
For not having significant brush wear difference on both alternators the alternator load current should
be as equal as possible. A difference of less than 25A is strongly recommended.
After completion of the regulator adjustment, the regulator set screws have to be fixed with torque
seal.
If it is necessary to replace the alternator regulator type E4A-91-100-000 with the alternator regulator
type E4A-91-200-000, it has to be mentioned that in that case the wiring harness has to be replaced.
A current-regulator is implemented, which enables the adjustment of the load balancing in twin-
engine applications with high accuracy and fault-tolerance against single faults at the load-balancing
adjustment structure. The set point of this current regulator is generated dynamically as averaged
load current of both alternators.
The set point of one voltage regulator in the system is modified continuously to compensate static and
dynamic asymmetries of the system.

Safety wire is used to secure fasteners to prevent them from coming lose. It's used a lot in aviation and
racing. To safety wire fasteners you will need safety wire, safety wire pliers, wire cutters (dykes), and
needle nose pliers. In a pinch, you can make do with the wire and needle-nose pliers with a cutting
edge. The hardest part of safety wiring is drilling the holes in the hardened fasteners. There are jigs
available to hold nuts and bolts so they can be drilled more easily. You may also be able to purchase
pre-drilled fasteners and save yourself some time. Safety wire comes in many types and sizes. You must
first select the correct type and size of wire for the job. Annealed corrosion-resistant steel or stainless
steel wire is used in race preparation.
1. All safety wires must be tight after installation, but not under so much tension that
normal handling or vibration will break the wire.
2. The wire must be applied so that all pull exerted by the wire tends to tighten the nut.
3. Twists should be tight and even, and the wire between nuts as taut as possible without
over-twisting. Safety wire pliers can easily twist the wire too far, breaking or weakening
it.
4. Twist ends should routed so that no injured ours
For this reason, wire between nuts should be twisted with the hands. The use of pliers may damage
the wire. Pliers should be used only for final end twist before cutting excess wire
Fig. 51 - 1
Patterns
All critical nuts except the self-locking types must be safe tied; the method used depends upon the
particular installation. The illustration at left shows various methods commonly used in safety wiring
nuts, bolts, and screws. Examples 1, 2, and 7 show the proper method of safety wiring bolts, screws,
square head plugs, and similar parts when wired in pairs. Examples 4 and 5 show a single threaded
component wired to a housing or lug. Example 3 shows several components wired in series. Example 6
shows the proper method of wiring castellated nuts and studs. Note that there is no loop around the
nut. Example 8 shows several components in a closely spaced, closed geometrical pattern, using the
single-wire method.
Insert the wire through each part consecutively in the direction that will prevent the part from loosening.
Draw the wire tightly around each bend and twist the ends into a tight pigtail close to one of the safe
tied parts. Cut the pigtail square, leaving a minimum of three twists. Bend the pigtail over against the
part being safe tied to prevent snagging. You should not use safety wire longer than 24 inches for single
wiring three or more parts as a group.
Fig. 51 - 2
Pull the wire through the first bolt. Bend one end of the wire around the head of bolt #1 toward bolt
#2, in a direction such that a pull on the twisted wire toward bolt #2 would cause bolt #1 to tighten.
Twist the outer wire under the other wire close to bolt #1. Continue twisting the wire clockwise, keeping
the strands wide apart to ensure a tight even twist. When the twisted pair reaches bolt #2 without
slack, insert the wire in the bolt hole in a direction so that bolt #2 cannot loosen without pulling bolt #1
tight. Bend the free wire around the head of bolt #2, and twist the wires counter clockwise. Continue
twisting counter clockwise beyond the bolt to form a pigtail. Cut the pigtail square, leaving a minimum
of three twists. Bend the pigtail over against the part being safe tied, to prevent snagging.
Fig. 51 - 3
Fig. 51 - 4
Start by looping the wire through the fastener, using a little extra wire, because you don't want to be
short at the end. Loop the wire coming out of the bottom hole around the bolt head clockwise and pull
the wire tight with needle nose pliers in the direction of the second bolt. Start the twist by hand (two
to three turns) then bring the two wires together and clip the safety wire pliers on the wires next to the
hole it will go in on the second bolt, keep the two wires next to each other in the pliers jaws (no gap
between them). Pull the safety wire pliers twist-knob to twist the wire, hold the pliers to keep it from
twisting backwards and let the knob retract then repeat until the desired twist is reached. Do not over-
twist the wire, you can easily weaken or break it. Unclip the safety wire pliers, put one wire through the
second bolt (using needle nose pliers helps), loop the other wire around the bolt head, start the twist
by hand, clip on the safety wire pliers and twist. Now you're ready to cut the wire. Leave about 1/4 inch
of a tail (about 3 twists) Tuck it around the last fastener so it doesn't snag.
Fig. 51 - 5 Fig. 51 - 6
When various types of bolt heads and or nuts are safe tied to stationary parts, you can use either right
or left hand twists. Attach the safety wire in such a manner that if the bolt or nut should start to loosen
then the wire would be in the direction of tightening the fastener.

The importance of correct torque application cannot be overemphasized. Under torque can result in
unnecessary wear of nuts and bolts, as well as the parts they secure. Over torque can cause failure of
a bolt or nut from overstressing the threaded areas. Uneven or additional loads that are applied to the
assembly may result in wear or premature failure. The following are a few simple, but important
procedures, which should be followed to ensure that correct torque is applied.
Be sure that the torque applied is for the size of the bolt shank not the wrench size.
a. Calibrate the torque wrench at least once a year, or immediately after it has been abused or
dropped, to ensure continued accuracy.
b. Be sure the bolt and nut threads are clean and dry, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.
c. Run the nut down to near contact with the washer or bearing surface and check the friction drag
torque required to turn the nut. Whenever possible, apply the torque to the nut and not the bolt. This
will reduce rotation of the bolt in the hole and reduce wear.
d. Add the friction drag torque to the desired torque. This is referred to as “final torque,” which should
register on the indicator or setting for a snap-over type torque wrench.
e. Apply a smooth even pull when applying torque pressure. If chattering or a jerking motion occurs
during final torque, back off the nut and re-torque.
f. When installing a castle nut, start alignment with the cotter pin hole at the minimum recommended
torque plus friction drag torque.
Do not exceed the maximum torque plus the friction drag. If the hole and nut
castellation do not align, change washer or nut and try again.
Exceeding the maximum recommended torque is not recommended.
g. When torque is applied to bolt heads or cap screws, apply the recommended torque plus friction
drag torque.
h. If special adapters are used which will change the effective length of the torque wrench, the final
torque indication or wrench setting must be adjusted accordingly. Determine the torque wrench
indication or setting with adapter installed as shown in figure

for product “HELICOIL PLUS”
1. The designated hole must be drilled with the relevant drill (B) according to Table 51-1.
2. The hole must be deburred with a suitable tool.
3. Check the core hole diameter!
4. Check the core hole depth!
1. Before and after thread cutting, chips or other particles must be removed from the hole, e.g.
with compressed air.
2. Check thread tolerances!
3. Check thread depth!
Only special taps supplied by threaded insert manufacturers must be used for cutting the
thread.
To obtain the required minimum thread depth on pocket holes, the accumulating chips
must be removed from time to time, if applicable.
Make sure that only pocket drills are used to cut pocket holes.
For threaded insert installation, the appropriate manufacturer’s insertion tool must be
selected depending on the external thread diameter of the insert (see Table 51-1).
1. The threaded insert must be placed in the tool compartment in such a way that the tang
points in the direction of the pre-stressing cartridge (see figures 51-16 and 51-17).
2. When the spindle is turned clockwise, the spindle yoke engages the tang and the insert is
introduced into the pre-stressing cartridge until its first thread is seated in the lowest thread
of the pre-stressing cartridge.
3. Insertion is completed when the tang protrudes from the cartridge.
Make sure that the tang is always engaged by the spindle yoke.

Large–size components must be clamped in a suitable holding device (e.g. vise with
protective jaws).
1. Place the insertion tool in vertical position on the hole receiving the insert.
2. By carefully turning the spindle, the insert is inserted into the threaded hole until the distance
between component surface and threaded insert upper edge shown in Fig. 51-18 is obtained.
Protrusion of the insert on the other side of the component (applicable only to through
holes) is not permitted.
Fig. 51 - 18 Insertion depth (for inserts in through holes and pocket holes)
After removal of the insertion tool, the tang must be knocked off the threaded insert by a
suitable tool (e.g. a tang breaker or punch).
1. Position the tool on the tang which is then separated from the insert at the breaking point by
a short heavy blow.
From pocket holes, the tang should be removed with the aid of suitable tools (e.g.
pointed pliers, magnetic bar or compressed air).
With inserts installed in through holes or with a thread diameter larger than 12 mm, the
tang may also be removed by suitable pointed pliers.
Use the intended fastener or an internal limit gage to check insertion properties. When using threaded
inserts per LN 9039 (non–locking), it must be possible to insert the thread insert manually (without
tool).
When using inserts per LN 9499 (screw–locking), the threaded insert must not rotate.
If rotation is detected when checking or using the installed threaded inserts, securing
with Loctite is allowed. In such a case proceed as per Chapter 51-00-38 and 51-00-39.

71-00-02 Instruction
An engine ground test run should be conducted after any work on the engine. After running the test,
the engine has to be inspected visually, especially the replaced and repaired engine parts.
Wrong maintenance of the engine can cause heavy engine damage even to engine
stop during aviation.
To award the warranty approved parts from the Austro Engine GmbH must be
used.
Aircraft engine ground run must be performed in a secure and save area protected
against movements of unauthorised persons.
Accidents can cause severe injury or even death.
The area of the propeller must be kept clear. If objects get into the propeller,
propeller and engine can be seriously damaged.
In case of any maintenance on the camshaft sensor, conduct the following procedure
before the Engine Ground Test Run:
Switch ECU-Voter

To execute the Engine Ground Test Run, following steps have to be performed consecutively:
Start the engine and warm up. Refer to the applicable Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) for details.
Conduct EECU self test. Refer to the applicable Aircraft Flight Manual.
Shut off engine in accordance to the applicable Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM).
Read out enginie data using the AE 300-Wizard. Verify that no failures are present in the EECU Fault
Log. If failures are stored in the EECU Fault Log, the root cause must be evaluated and the reason for
the failure has to be eliminated. Repeat the engine ground run as necessary.
After the Engine Ground Run perform a visual inspection of the engine. Look especially for leakage
and chafing.
71-50-01 General
The harness provides electrical interconnection between all system components. Also it is an
important part for HIRF & lightning protection.
The wiring harness has to be fixed at several points to avoid harness damage caused by normal
engine operation (e.g.: due to vibration). Fixing points are marked in Fig. 71 – 35 till Fig. 71 – 66.
All connectors must be plugged in a way to avoid forces applied to the connector.
All shielding wires must be attached via electrically conducting connections to the engine block
at the actuator and sensor ends of the wiring harness. It is not allowed to shorten or to
extend the shielding wires.
Ensure that wires and cables are routed in such a manner that chafing will not occur against the
engine or other components.
Ensure that wires and cables are routed in such a manner that in no circumstances a contact to
extreme hot engine areas (exhaust pipes) is possible to prevent insulation break down.
Where practical, route electrical wires and cables above fluid lines and provide at least a 50 mm
separation from any flammable liquid fuel line or other low voltage wiring that enters a fuel tank and
requires electrical isolation to prevent an ignition hazard.
Ensure that a trap or drip loop is provided to prevent fluids or condensed moisture from running into
wires and cables dressed downward to a connector, terminal or junction box.
The minimum radius of bends in wire groups or bundles must not be less than 10 times the outside
diameter of the largest wire or cable.
For harness branches of diameters less than 2 cm which connect to a one actuator or one sensor a
different rule applies.
The minimum radius of the wire connecting one sensor or one actuator is 3 times the diameter of the
wire or cable.
Also where the wire is suitable supported, the radius may be 3 times the diameter of the wire or
cable. Where it is not practical to install wiring or cables within the radius requirements, the bend
should be enclosed in insulating tubing.
Ensure that wires and cables that are attached to assemblies where relative movement occurs
(rotating pieces) are installed or protected in such a manner as to prevent deterioration of the wires
and cables caused by the relative movements of the assembled parts.
Ensure that wires and cables are provided with enough slack to meet following requirements:
Ensure that unused wires are individually dead-ended, tied into bundle and secured to a permanent
structure.
Each wire should have conductor strands cut even with the insulation. (no blank conductor strand
accessible).
The end of the wire shall be covered (electrically isolating) with an connector or a 25 mm piece of
insulating tubing placed over the wire with its end folded back and tied.
Wires and cables are properly supported and bound so that there is no interference with other wires,
cables and equipment.
Wires and cables are adequately supported to prevent excessive movement in areas of high vibration.
Insulating tubing and abrasion protection is secured by tying tie straps or with clamps.

If this is the first gearbox oil inspection to be conducted on this engine (gearbox TSN:
100 h) a quantity like the one shown in Fig. 85 – 20 is acceptable, as slightly more
debris is not uncommon for the first flight hours.
Fig. 85 - 20
If the gearbox operation time is more than 100 h TSN, less debris is allowable. Thus
compare the magnetic drain plug with the one shown in Fig. 85 – 21. Should the
particles present on the magnetic drain plug be beyond the allowable size or quantity
the gearbox has to be replaced.
Fig. 85 - 21

85-10-64 Cleaning
To clean the surfaces of the two-mass-flywheel a cleaning cloth covered with WD40
can be used. With the cloth the contact surfaces to the crank shaft and to the hub
(E4A-73-000-203) can be cleaned from surface rust and dust.
The presence of rust at the surface of the two-mass-flywheel is not critical for the
function of it. It is adequate to clean the surface with a dry Scotch-Brite hand pad
from light surface corrosion.
85-10-65 Inspection
Overview:
To describe the investigation points an overview of the two-mass-flywheel is given in the following
picture. The flywheel is build up out of two discs (masses) which are connected together with springs
at the inside of the bigger disc. The bigger disc with the starter and pick up ring is called primary
mass and sign with the number 1 (E4A-73-300-201-002) in the following figure. The smaller disc
signed with the number 2 (E4A-73-300-202-010) is named secondary mass.
Fig. 85 - 37 Starter (1) and pick-up ring (2, with gap) at the outside contour of the primary mass.
Visual Inspection:
The two-mass-flywheel must not have any traces of thermal damage at the rear side or at the outside
coverage. Otherwise the two-mass-flywheel has to be replaced.
This check has to be repeated after the mechanical inspection. Due to the rotation during the
mechanical inspection the covered part of the friction control cam is positioned at the wholes of the
back side of the primary mass.
min. 1,5mm
Friction traces:
The gap between primary and secondary mass has to be checked. If there are traces of wear at the
surface of the primary mass, caused by friction of the secondary mass at the surface of the primary
mass, the two-mass-flywheel has to be replaced.
If the friction ring is covered by the secondary mass thus the inner diameter can not be seen
completely the ring has to be repositioned. Therefore lift the secondary mass slightly thus the ring can
be repositioned with a small screwdriver. The correct position is reached when the inner diameter of
the ring has approximately the same gap to the outside diameter of the notch in the primary mass as
demonstrated with the green dotted line in Fig. 85 – 42.
If the friction ring is not in the correct position the ring can be damaged when the Two-Mass-Flywheel
is mounted at the test rig for mechanical investigation. This damage is seen in the following figure.
Fig. 85 - 43
For further operation of the Two-Mass Flywheel the ring has to be reworked. Use a sharp knife to cut
off the ragged area of the ring. If the width of the ring is less than 50% or the ring gets broken, the
Two-Mass-Flywheel has to be replaced.
>0,5*t
Fig. 85 - 44
Thereafter reposition the ring. Therefore lift the secondary mass slightly thus the ring can be
repositioned with a small screwdriver.The correct position is reached when the inner diameter of the
ring has approximately the same gap to the outside diameter of the notch in the primary mass as
demonstrated with the green dotted line in Fig. 85 - 42.
Pick-up ring:
If the teeth of the pick-up ring are out of shape the engine run could be rough. Therefore if the teeth
are bent the two-mass-flywheel has to be replaced.
Fig. 85 - 45
Take care that also small bending of a pick-up ring teeth could lead to engine running problems.
Fig. 85 - 46
Fig. 85 - 47
Starter ring:
Traces of wearing or damage at the gear tooth of the starter ring. If traces are present the two-mass-
flywheel has to be replaced. Less than 95% of the present volume of each tooth is not acceptable.
If teeth are damaged the starter has to be checked. When damage is indicated the starter has to be
changed as well.
Fig. 85 - 48
Balancing weights:
If the balancing weights are missing the two-mass-flywheel has to be replaced. This is noticeable if
weld points can be seen without the balancing weights.
If the weld points are broken the flywheel has to be replaced as well.
FITTER INSPECTOR
(Name, Date, Signature) (Name, Date, Signature)
Mechanical Inspection:
To control the mechanical function the two-mass-flywheel has to be tested in a special testing rig –
AEP-0061. The wheel is build up and fixed with its primary mass and loaded with defined torque
loads. The deflection between the primary and secondary mass will be measured at the defined
torque (see Table 85-1) and recorded.
At first the two-mass-flywheel will be attached in the fixing adapter of the test rig.
Thereafter a hub is attached at the connecting flange of the secondary mass and the bearing support
of the test rig is mounted as seen.
Fig. 85 - 51
To measure the deflection between the primary and secondary mass an angle measuring instrument
is attached at the input shaft.
Fig. 85 - 52
The torque will be attached with a torque wrench at the angle measuring instrument according to the
required torque values in Table 85-1: Tolerance Values.
Before the measuring is started the spring packages at the inside of the two-mass-flywheel have to be
positioned. Therefore the flywheel has to be turned not more than three times into the desired
direction with a torque of about 350 Nm. After this the angle measuring system has to be reset to
null.
Thereafter the measuring can be done according to the following table. The measured angle values
have to be within the minimum and maximum tolerance values. The measuring direction may not be
changed during the procedure unless the spring packages will be repositioned for the change of the
direction.
FITTER INSPECTOR
(Name, Date, Signature) (Name, Date, Signature)
After the measuring the inspection is finished and the two-mass-flywheel can be dismounted from the
test rig.
If the two-mass-flywheel has passed the visual and mechanical inspection the flywheel is qualified for
a further use in an E4 engine.
If the two-mass-flywheel has passed the visual and mechanical inspection the flywheel needs to be
marked for future identification of the already performed inspections.
Engrave the Fywheel with a “x” next to the part number as shown in Fig 85 - 53. The Flywheel needs
to be engraved with a “x” every time this maintenance procedure has been performed.
Fig. 85 - 53
Do not hammer the marking on the part to avoid damage to the two-mass-flywheel.
85-10-68 Reassembly

To conduct the checking procedure the engine has to be hand turned at the propeller to the top dead
center (TDC) position:
Pointer
TDC Indicator
The engine is in the TDC position when the mark next to “OT” is positioned at the pointer of
the crank case.
Due to the aircraft system build up the TDC position must be checked with mirror and
torch light when the engine is attached to the aircraft.
To move the engine into the TDC position turn the propeller by hand until the TDC position is
reached. Record the values visible at the dial gauge and turn the engine for one revolution to
reach the second TDC.
Due to the gearbox transmission the propeller must be turned for a 3/5 revolution to
turn the engine for one revolution.
Check the indicator scale of the TCMT according to figure 85 - 119 and repeat turning the
engine according to the described checking sequence:
• Checking sequence
• Turn the engine at the propeller two times and adjust it at the first TDC point.
• After 10 seconds (for balancing reasons) check the indicator scale of the TCMT.
• Turn the engine at the propeller for one engine revolution. (3/5 propeller revolution).
• After 10 seconds (for balancing) check the indicator scale of the TCMT.
• Turn the engine at the propeller for one engine revolution. (3/5 propeller revolution).
• After 10 seconds (for balancing) check the indicator scale of the TCMT.
• Turn the engine at the propeller for one engine revolution. (3/5 propeller revolution).
• After 10 seconds (for balancing) check the indicator scale of the TCMT.
• Turn the engine at the propeller for one engine revolution. (3/5 propeller revolution).
If during the checking sequence described above in one of the check points the last or less of the last
red ring of the indicator scale on the TCMT has been visible, the timing chain and the chain wheel
have to be replaced. Proceed with Chapter 85-40-50 to Chapter 85-40-54.
If more than one red ring of the indicator scale has always been visible, proceed with
Chapter 85-40-45.
• Screw chain tensioner until it is locked and fasten it with a torque wrench. Tightening
torque is 80 Nm (708 inch-lbs). After tightening rotate the engine at the propeller to
check the rotatability.

Connect the new timing chain with the replacing timing chain by use of a chain coupling
(AEP-00160). Position the chain in a way that the holes in the pin sleeves of the link are
on the outside of the chain as shown in figure below.
AEP-00160
Remove the cable retainer. Pull out the existing timing chain whilst ensuring permanent
contact between chain and chain wheel. Turn the engine clockwise in flight direction (as
shown in Figure 85 - 127) and feed in the new chain. The chain shall be pulled beyond
the guiding tool.
Before turning the engine, remove the cover from the chain slot.
Do not turn engine in reverse direction while pulling in the new chain.
Turn engine until the new chain is almost completely fed in. Stop turning when
approximately two or three links are left outside the down holder. Fasten the replacing
chain on the chain wheel with a cable retainer, about two links from the connection link.
Remove the chain coupling (AEP-00160). The chain coupling from the tool set must not
remain in the engine. The part is not capable for engine operation
Make sure that the chain slot is closed or covered with a rag or similar
to prevent debris inside the engine.
The remaining free ends of the new chain have to be connected with the open chain link
(as part of E4A-75-100-000-000). Push the link with its pins in each free end of the chain.
If there is too much tension on the chain, you can ease that tension with small
movements on the prop in both directions. Push the link in coming from the camshaft
side (see Figure 85 – 128).).

In case of an abort due to a failure, the current state (“0–7”) of the test is stored as one of the
environmental conditions within the Fault Code Memory (FCM) entry to help diagnosing the abort.
If the Propeller Self Test does not complete successfully, an entry will be written into the Fault Code
Memory (FCM).
The FCM entries can be displayed by the “AE 300 Wizard” (see “List of Tools”).
For setup and usage of the AE 300 Wizard please refer to the latest revision of the “AE 300 Wizard
User Guide”, document number E4.08.09. The chapter “Using the Fault Code Memory (FCM)” in the
“Trouble Shooting”-Section explains, how to work with the FCM.
The AE 300 Wizard will display an FCM entry caused by a failure during the propeller self test which
contains information sampled at the time of the occurrence similar to the following example:
Bit position 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Timeout error flags shown in FCM: 0 0 0 0 0 x x x
Bits 0, 1 or 2 will be set to “1” to indicate the reason for the self test timeout:
Bit position 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Release status as shown in FCM: x x x x x x x x
The Propeller Self Test will start if bit 0 (release self test) has been set to “1”. Bits 2-7 will indicate the
individual release criteria as described in the “Self Test Overview”.
Each ECU senses the power lever position separately. So if the power lever sensors are
not properly aligned one ECU might release the self test with power lever position <5%
while the other ECU might not release the self test because it senses a position >5% !
There is a hysteresis in the detection of propeller idle speed. If the propeller speed
increases beyond 1150rpm, it has to be decreased below 1100rpm again before the
release criteria of bits 6 and 7 can be fulfilled again.
If the FCM entry of a self test failure is not available or if trouble shooting multiple events from past
flight cycles, using the Data Logger function of the EECU is recommended.
The Data Logger information can be downloaded and displayed by the “AE 300 Wizard” (see “List of
Tools”).
For setup and usage of the AE 300 Wizard please refer to the latest revision of the “AE 300 Wizard
User Guide”, document number E4.08.09. The chapter “Offline Analysis using the Data Logger” in the
“Trouble Shooting”-Section explains, how to work with the Data Logger.
The AE 300 Wizard will display the Data Logger record of a successfully performed propeller self test
similar to the following example (e.g. after replacement of a faulty governor shown below).
Self-test starts
The AE 300 Wizard will display the Data Logger record of a failure during the propeller self-test similar
to the following example (a faulty propeller governor with SW-Version VC33_x_05_yy):
The self test occurrence can be found by looking for the characteristic two “humps” in the propeller
speed-line when at the same time the power lever is at “0%”. Also the “Combined Engine Status”
shows an ECU-switchover event between the two “humps”.
Problem 1:
Problem 2:
During the pitch-down test phase (state 4) the goal of 1870 rpm had not been fulfilled on ECU-B
(actual speed reached was just over 1850 rpm) which eventually had caused a caution lamp
indication.
