[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 14, Volume 1] [Revised as of January 1, 2006] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 14CFR34.62] [Page 805-806] TITLE 14--AERONAUTICS AND SPACE CHAPTER I--FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION PART 34_FUEL VENTING AND EXHAUST EMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR TURBINE ENGINE POWERED AIRPLANES--Table of Contents Subpart G_Test Procedures for Engine Exhaust Gaseous Emissions (Aircraft and Aircraft Gas Turbine Engines) Sec. 34.62 Test procedure (propulsion engines). (a)(1) The engine shall be tested in each of the following engine operating modes which simulate aircraft operation to determine its mass emission rates. The actual power setting, when corrected to standard day conditions, should correspond to the following percentages of rated output. Analytical correction for variations from reference day conditions and minor variations in actual power setting should be specified and/or approved by the Administrator: [[Page 806]] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Class Mode ----------------------------------- TP TF, T3, T8 TSS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Taxi/idle........................... (*) (*) (*) Takeoff............................. 100 100 100 Climbout............................ 90 85 65 Descent............................. NA NA 15 Approach............................ 30 30 34 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *See paragraph (a) of this section. (2) The taxi/idle operating modes shall be carried out at a power setting of 7% rated thrust unless the Administrator determines that the unique characteristics of an engine model undergoing certification testing at 7% would result in substantially different HC and CO emissions than if the engine model were tested at the manufacturers recommended idle power setting. In such cases the Administrator shall specify an alternative test condition. (3) The times in mode (TIM) shall be as specified below: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Class Mode ----------------------------------- TP TF, T3, T8 TSS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Taxi/idle........................... 26.0 Min. 26.0 Min. 26.0 Min.
