NOTE 3. The ratings and limitations of the R-1300-3 are applicable to helicopter installation and
operation.
NOTE 4. The R-1300-3 incorporates special provisions for installation and operation with the propeller
shaft inclined at an angle of approximately 40 degrees from horizontal, nose up.
NOTE 5. When incorporated in certificated aircraft, the engine nameplate should be stamped FAA
Spec. No. 5E-14. If there is no room for this information on the existing nameplate, such information
may be stamped on a plain thin metal plate and attached beneath the existing plate by at least two of the
mounting screws.
NOTE 6. The above models incorporate additional characteristics as follows:
