Sec. 94.105  Duty cycles.

    (a) Overview. For the purpose of determining compliance with the 
emission standards of Sec. 94.8, except for those in Sec. 94.8(e), 
engines shall be tested using the appropriate duty cycles described in 
this section.
    (b) General cycle. Propulsion engines that are used with (or 
intended to be used with) fixed-pitch propellers, and any other engines 
for which the other duty cycles of this section do not apply, shall be 
tested using the duty cycle described in the following Table B-1:
