                    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:

*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:

have achieved a steady operating temperature.
