Sec. 35.42  Blade pitch control system component test.



    The following durability requirements apply to propeller blade pitch 

control system components:

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, each 

propeller blade pitch control system component, including governors, 

pitch change assemblies, pitch locks, mechanical stops, and feathering 

system components, must be subjected in tests to cyclic loadings that 

simulate the frequency and amplitude those to which the component would 

be subjected during 1,000 hours of propeller operation.

    (b) Compliance with paragraph (a) of this section may be shown by a 

rational analysis based on the results of tests on similar components.
