Background

    The FAA was asked to consider a 2-minute gas temperature overshoot 
limit approval within the 5-minute steady state gas temperature limit 
associated with the takeoff power or thrust rating established under 
Sec.  33.7, for certain engine operating conditions. This policy 
provides additional guidance to establish a uniform approach for 
Aircraft Certification Offices (ACOs) to evaluate and approve up to a 
2-minute gas temperature overshoot limit casued by thermal mismatch of 
engine hardware. This policy does not create any new requirements.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701-44702, 44704.

    Issued in Burlington, Massachusetts, on August 24, 2004.
Robert Guyotte,
Acting Manager, Engine and Propeller Directorate, Aircraft 
Certification Service.
