the tests. If major repairs or replacement of parts are found necessary 
during the tests or in the teardown inspection, the parts in question 
must be subjected to any additional tests the Administrator finds 
necessary.

     Appendix A to Part 35--Instructions for Continued Airworthiness

                              a35.1 general

    (a) This appendix specifies requirements for the preparation of 
Instructions for Continued Airworthiness as required by Sec.  35.4.
    (b) The Instructions for Continued Airworthiness for each propeller 
must include the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness for all 
propeller parts. If Instructions for Continued Airworthiness are not 
supplied by the propeller part manufacturer for a propeller part, the 
Instructions for Continued Airworthiness for the propeller must include 
the information essential to the continued airworthiness of the 
propeller.
    (c) The applicant must submit to the FAA a program to show how 
changes to the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness made by the 
applicant or by the manufacturers of propeller parts will be 
distributed.

                              a35.2 format

    (a) The Instructions for Continued Airworthiness must be in the form 
of a manual or manuals as appropriate for the quantity of data to be 
provided.
    (b) The format of the manual or manuals must provide for a practical 
arrangement.

                              a35.3 content

    The contents of the manual must be prepared in the English language. 
The Instructions for Continued Airworthiness must contain the following 
sections and information:
    (a) Propeller Maintenance Section. (1) Introduction information that 
includes an explanation of the propeller's features and data to the 
extent necessary for maintenance or preventive maintenance.
    (2) A detailed description of the propeller and its systems and 
installations.
    (3) Basic control and operation information describing how the 
propeller components and systems are controlled and how they operate, 
including any special procedures that apply.
    (4) Instructions for uncrating, acceptance checking, lifting, and 
installing the propeller.
    (5) Instructions for propeller operational checks.
    (6) Scheduling information for each part of the propeller that 
provides the recommended periods at which it should be cleaned, 
adjusted, and tested, the applicable wear tolerances, and the degree of 
work recommended at these periods. However, the applicant may refer to 
an accessory, instrument, or equipment manufacturer as the source of 
this information if it shows that the item has an exceptionally high 
degree of complexity requiring specialized maintenance techniques, test 
equipment, or expertise. The recommended overhaul periods and necessary 
cross-references to the Airworthiness Limitations section of the manual 
must also be included. In addition, the applicant must include an 
inspection program that includes the frequency and extent of the 
inspections necessary to provide for the continued airworthiness of the 
propeller.
    (7) Troubleshooting information describing probable malfunctions, 
how to recognize those malfunctions, and the remedial action for those 
malfunctions.
    (8) Information describing the order and method of removing and 
replacing propeller parts with any necessary precautions to be taken.
    (9) A list of the special tools needed for maintenance other than 
for overhauls.
    (b) Propeller Overhaul Section. (1) Disassembly information 
including the order and method of disassembly for overhaul.
    (2) Cleaning and inspection instructions that cover the materials 
and apparatus to be used and methods and precautions to be taken during 
overhaul. Methods of overhaul inspection must also be included.
    (3) Details of all fits and clearances relevant to overhaul.
    (4) Details of repair methods for worn or otherwise substandard 
parts and components along with information necessary to determine when 
replacement is necessary.
    (5) The order and method of assembly at overhaul.
    (6) Instructions for testing after overhaul.
    (7) Instructions for storage preparation including any storage 
limits.
    (8) A list of tools needed for overhaul.

                 a35.4 airworthiness limitations section

    The Instructions for Continued Airworthiness must contain a section 
titled Airworthiness Limitations that is segregated and clearly 
distinguishable from the rest of the document. This section must set 
forth each mandatory replacement time, inspection interval, and related 
procedure required for type certification. This section must contain a 
legible statement in a prominent location that reads: ``The 
Airworthiness Limitations section is FAA approved and specifies 
maintenance required under Sec.  Sec.  43.16 and 91.403 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations unless an alternative program has been FAA 
approved.''
