Subpart A—General 

§ 35.1

Applicability. 

(a) This part prescribes airworthiness 

standards for the issue of type certifi-
cates and changes to those certificates, 
for propellers. 

(b) Each person who applies under 

part 21 for such a certificate or change 

must show compliance with the appli-
cable requirements of this part. 

(c) An applicant is eligible for a pro-

peller type certificate and changes to 
those certificates after demonstrating 
compliance with subparts A, B, and C 
of this part. However, the propeller 
may not be installed on an airplane un-
less the applicant has shown compli-
ance with either § 23.2400(c) or § 25.907 of 
this chapter, as applicable, or compli-
ance is not required for installation on 
that airplane. 

(d) For the purposes of this part, the 

propeller consists of those components 
listed in the propeller type design, and 
the propeller system consists of the 
propeller and all the components nec-
essary for its functioning, but not nec-
essarily included in the propeller type 
design. 

[Amdt. 35–3, 41 FR 55475, Dec. 20, 1976, as 
amended by Amdt. 35–8, 73 FR 63346, Oct. 24, 
2008; Doc. FAA–2015–1621, Amdt. 35–10, 81 FR 
96700, Dec. 30, 2016] 

§ 35.2

Propeller configuration. 

The applicant must provide a list of 

all the components, including ref-
erences to the relevant drawings and 
software design data, that define the 
type design of the propeller to be ap-
proved under § 21.31 of this chapter. 

[Amdt. 35–8, 73 FR 63346, Oct. 24, 2008] 

§ 35.3

Instructions for propeller instal-

lation and operation. 

The applicant must provide instruc-

tions that are approved by the Admin-
istrator. Those approved instructions 
must contain: 

(a) Instructions for installing the 

propeller, which: 

(1) Include a description of the oper-

ational modes of the propeller control 
system and functional interface of the 
control system with the airplane and 
engine systems; 

(2) Specify the physical and func-

tional interfaces with the airplane, air-
plane equipment and engine; 

(3) Define the limiting conditions on 

the interfaces from paragraph (a)(2) of 
this section; 

(4) List the limitations established 

under § 35.5; 

(5) Define the hydraulic fluids ap-

proved for use with the propeller, in-
cluding grade and specification, related
